Dothan City Civic Center - Dothan, Alabama

I went to see the Bluey performance on 6/11/2024. We chose the "next best seats" in the gold tier and spent $213.60. The view was obstructed heavily with most of the show occurring out of our field of view. Every response I get is "No refund policy" despite the fact that we were unaware of the severity of the issue until the lights went out and once they did my daughter is visually impaired and moving isn't really an option.

I would like my money back, I have had good experiences in the past but this really sours it. I have attached a picture of the view from our seats for proof. All the seats to our left and behind us were empty likely because of this concern. Over half of the back is occluded and most of the show seemingly occurred in the front left out of our view.

We attended the medical school’s graduation commencement ceremony this month and one from our group lost his wallet. We searched and called to no avail and left Dothan without the wallet. Several days later, the owner of the wallet received a call from the Civic Center’s front office informing us that they had found the wallet! After searching through the ACOM student directory (which made their investigation harder as the student’s last name did not match the owner’s), calling our local police department based on the driver license, and finally finding the Wallet Owner’s phone number, they said on the phone that they would be happy to mail the wallet to us. Wallet Owner insisted they use the cash inside his wallet to cover shipping costs and they appreciatively declined, saying that was covered by them! They were incredibly kind, they went above and beyond, and they truly made our day as they helped out a stranger just to do the right thing. Not a single card or dollar was missing from that wallet! They were honest, professional, and courteous. Thank you to the incredible, wonderful, and warm staff at the Dothan Civic Center’s front office and all who came in contact with the wallet and treated it with integrity, respect, and concern. Thank you to whoever found the wallet and turned it over to the front office! We are all so touched and grateful that you all went SO FAR OUT of your way just to return a wallet to its owner. It would have been so easy just to throw it away, quit halfway while searching for the owner, or even use the money inside to ship it back to us. It means so much to us that you did not do the EASY thing, but the RIGHT thing. Kind strangers still exist and they are at the Dothan Civic Center!!! Thank you again!

Staff does their job. The policies of the Civic center were junk. Only allowing clear bags for spectators. Processing fees for the tickets were pretty high.

Attended the Chamber Spotlight on Business and couldn’t manage load out in our high heels and Brian came to our rescue! So grateful to do business in a center full of such considerate and helpful staff and personnel!

The building is nice, but the seats are horrible! Went to see the Nutcracker, the show was awesome, but was very uncomfortable in the kid seats they offer..two hours squeezed in with the little bitty arm stuck in my hip, I was on front row, so I finally moved to the bottom step of the floor to sit, found the hard floor to be more comfortable...BTW, the concession stand needs to clarify on there credit card only sign that it is a $5.00 minimum..but that was a minor issue compared to those horrible seats!

I bought meet and greet VIP tickets for Jeremy Camp and had to move because I am a large person and obviously someone behind was saying I was blocking their view. Not the most pleasant experience I had going to a concert, the seats are too close together which is why I was standing. Glad I don't have to go back there again.

Nice facility, poor parking, security overkill

Decent enough, for a 3,100-seat civic center venue in a small town:
Lighting: more than adequate;
Sound: visiting group brought their own, no idea what house system (huge cluster) can do;
Entry/Egress: fair enough, but seems like we went through a brief (& unnecessary) maze, rather than direct access - &, more noticably, upon exit (possibly to herd us past the few vendors).
Event: PURSUIT Men's Conference (Rick Burgess, of "Rick & Bubba" fame), et al.
Overall, a really good & enjoyable experience.
