Tips & Advice

  • Take advantage of the advertised limited-time 2-for-1 offer if it is still available when you buy tickets.

  • Choose General Admission only if standing suits you, since this ticket type does not include seats.
  • Consider a VIP chair or table if you prefer seating; the listed options place guests at tables near the stage or upstairs.
  • Confirm your group is 18 or older before booking, because entry is restricted to adults.
