BOK Center events — Tulsa, Oklahoma

Discover the Premier BOK Center Arena

The BOK Center is more than an arena — it's a striking, city-defining landmark that brings the biggest shows to the heart of downtown Tulsa. From blockbuster concerts to family spectacles and championship sports, BOK Center events light up the city year-round.

Opened on August 30, 2008, the arena seats up to 19,199 for concerts (capacity varies by event). Designed by renowned architect César Pelli, the venue’s sweeping glass façade and stainless steel curves create a dramatic profile, while wide concourses and abundant natural light enhance comfort and flow.

The arena hosts concerts, basketball, hockey, family shows, conventions, and special events — including the Tulsa Oilers (ECHL hockey), NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games (2011, 2017, 2019), and top national tours. Legendary performers like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Garth Brooks, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Metallica, Bruno Mars, and Carrie Underwood have taken the stage here, alongside recurring favorites such as Disney on Ice and the Harlem Globetrotters.

Backed by advanced acoustics, HD video boards, and a state-of-the-art sound system, the BOK Center delivers an immersive live experience from any seat. Its modern architecture isn’t just for show — it supports clear sightlines, strong audio, and efficient movement for packed houses.

Whether you’re seeing a chart-topping tour or cheering a nail-biter on the ice, the BOK Center makes every visit feel big. Bold design, elite production quality, and a prime downtown location come together for unforgettable nights out.

Premium suites, loge boxes, and VIP floor areas add elevated options for hospitality and special occasions.

• Lower Level Center (Sections 104–106, 115–117): These prime lower-bowl seats put you close to the action with excellent sightlines for both concerts and sporting events. Expect a balanced view of the stage or ice and quick access to concourses.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

BOK Center

200 South Denver Avenue West

Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103

Situated in downtown Tulsa, the arena is steps from restaurants, nightlife, and hotels — perfect for making a full night of it before and after the show.

• Parking: Multiple paid lots and garages are within walking distance, typically ranging from $10–$20. Limited on-site spaces are reserved for suite holders and ADA guests. Street parking is available but fills quickly — pre-purchase is recommended.
• Public Transit: Tulsa Transit bus routes serve downtown, and the closest stops are a short walk from the arena.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Use the designated pickup/dropoff zone on 3rd Street, west of Denver Avenue, for smoother arrivals and departures.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This window gives you time to park, pass through security, and find your seats without rushing — especially for popular BOK Center upcoming events that draw bigger crowds.

While the arena is fully indoors, downtown parking can require a short walk, so consider the weather for the trip from your car to the entrance. If rain is in the forecast, bring a small clutch or clear bag to keep essentials dry and speed up the security line.

If you’re using rideshare, set your dropoff to the designated zone on 3rd Street west of Denver Avenue to avoid traffic pinch points around the main entrances. Pre-purchasing parking and reviewing the clear bag policy in advance will streamline your entry and get you to your seat faster.

Venue Navigation

The BOK Center’s design emphasizes space and ease of movement, with wide concourses and clear signage across the Lower, Club, and Upper Levels. Elevators and accessible ramps connect all levels, making it straightforward to get from the entrance to your section, suites, or the floor.

Concessions are spread throughout the building and feature a strong mix of pizza, burgers, BBQ, Tex-Mex, snacks, and Oklahoma specialties, along with local craft beers and rotating menu items. You’ll also find merchandise stands on each level, plus family restrooms, nursing rooms, Guest Services, ATMs, charging stations, and free Wi‑Fi. Transactions are cashless throughout — bring a card or mobile payment. Comfortable footwear is recommended if you’ll be moving between levels or exploring the concourses.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bags only, up to 12" x 6" x 12"; small clutches no larger than 4.5" x 6.5" are allowed.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.

• Pack a clear bag to speed up security, and plan for a short outdoor walk from garages to the entrance.
• Take advantage of the arena’s free Wi‑Fi and charging stations once inside.

Pre-Event Planning

Build extra time into your evening to enjoy the arena’s architecture — the sweeping glass façade offers great downtown views, especially around sunset, and the exterior is often illuminated for special events. It’s a perfect backdrop for group photos before heading to your section.

If you’re coordinating with friends, pick a meeting point on the concourse near your level or by the Guest Services desk. For concerts with floor seating, verify entry gates and wristband pickup locations on your ticket details to avoid backtracking. Explore BOK Center upcoming events to map out your live entertainment calendar for the season.
