Can I get a refund on my ticket?
We do not issue refunds or offer ticket exchanges. All sales are final. We are unable to offer refunds for unused tickets or for guests who are denied entry due to invalid ID. Event time and lineup are subject to change. In the case of an event cancellation, refunds will be provided via the point of purchase used. Resale of any ticket at a price greater than the original ticket price is prohibited. We reserve the right to revoke or reclaim possession of any tickets from the buyer who violates such restrictions
Can I get tickets to a sold out show?
We occasionally release tickets to sold-out shows based on the number of no-shows we have. This is often done later in the evening around the headliner’s set time, however, there is no guarantee we’ll do so, and generally, if a show is sold out online, there are no further tickets available. The best place to learn if and when we’re releasing additional tickets is via our Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. We also send out weekly newsletters with show info, which you can sign up for at the bottom of our homepage here.
