Show and Door times are listed on the event ticketing page. Traditionally, doors open (1) hour before scheduled start time.
Meet & Greet and other VIP programs can be a great way to have a more personal experience with some of your favorite artists. These programs are usually managed by outside third-party companies and not by our venue. You will typically receive an email 2-3 days before the event with all the necessary instructions. In most cases, the VIP program will take place 90-120 minutes before doors open to the general public, so please plan to arrive at the venue up to two hours before the doors open. If you don’t receive any information from the VIP company in the week leading up to the show, please do not hesitate to reach out to us, and we’ll do our best to assist you. Please keep in mind that we often find out about the details at the same time as you do.
