Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your showtime. This gives you plenty of time to park, pass through security, find your seats, and explore the lobby concessions without rushing. If you have will-call or need assistance with accessible seating, arriving early ensures a smooth start.

Weather rarely impacts performances since the venue is indoors, but the lots are uncovered. On hot or rainy days, consider lightweight layers, sun protection, or an umbrella for the walk from your car to the entrance. Cell service is generally reliable at the venue, but it’s smart to download your mobile tickets in advance.
