I would love to photgraph the Tower Theater as I am a photographer and I love the Tower! I would love a tour! Any suggestions on how to get permission to do these things?
I have the best Tower seating map. I composed it from many other maps. BIG THANKS to http://infotaupe.blogspot.com/ for the floor seating! If you want it email me Feel free to post it anywhere.
this is the best venue!! I’ve been to many around the world. The Cirkus in Stockholm was great and I lived the El Ray and Wiltern in LA.
I grew up in Upper Darby, PA where the Tower Theater is located. I’ve seen many great concerts there. It’s a great venue. The acoustics are fanominal. It was restored in 2002 just before I saw the Rolling Stones there. The seats are comfortable and soft. There isn’t a bad seat in the house (except some cramped leg roon in a few upper Balcony seats. No matter where you sit (or paas out) the sound is great. This place was designed for sound. The Stadiums and hockey arenas are not designed for sound. By now you'think these egg heads who design these venues take concerts/sound in to consideration.
As far as safety goes, there’s homeless in the area but there’s plenty of police around the facility during concerts. There’s a lot of concert goers there too. I think it is perfectly safe at concert time.
There are no hotles in the 69th Street area where the Tower is located. Center City Philadelphia is a SEPTA El ride (elevated train) to the end of the line to 69th Street. The Tower Theater is one block for the 69th Street Terminal.
Concerts end fairly early at the Tower as a way to apease the neighbors after many late concerts (There use to be two concerts a night – an early show and a late show)with noise late at hight, the Township passed an ordinance about whe concerts have to end. You are always finished by 11 PM.
A great Itialian resturant about ¾ of a mile from the Tower is Fank Pica’s on West Chester Pike (Market Street turns in to West Chester Pike). It’s an easy drive or bus ride to the resturant. There’s fast food places up the hill (69th Street) from the Tower. There a Super Market and Wawa convience store about a ½ mile up 69th Street. All of these places are easy to find. The Tower is the best place to see and hear a concert!
