  • My ticket says Section xx, Row xx, Seat xx; what does that mean?
    You have an assigned seat for the event. That seat is reserved for you at the time of purchase and is specific to that individual ticket. Ushers will be available at all reserved seating shows to assist you in locating your seats. In general, odd numbered sections are on the left side of the venue, and even numbered sections are on the right side of the venue. 
  • Do you offer ADA accommodations for those that may need them?
    Yes. It is our intent to serve all patrons equally and to offer an accessible and barrier-free event experience. If you or a member of your party require ADA accommodations, we ask that you contact the venue box office reasonably in advance of the event you are attending, so we can make every effort to accommodate specific requests.
  • Where should I park?
    We do not have specific parking for our venue, nor do we recommend one lot over another. Parking is at the risk of the patron. There are many District Detroit paid lots and garages near our venue that most guests choose to utilize. If you choose to park at metered street parking, please be aware that we do not allow for re-entry to the venue once your ticket has been scanned. You will be unable to deposit additional funds into a meter after you’ve entered the venue. Our staff is also unable to make change for any patron. We do not offer valet parking.
  • Do you offer coat check?
    We only offer coat check for specific shows; it is $5 per item, and space is limited.
  • When can I line up for an event?
    • We do not recommend that patrons arrive more than one hour in advance of the entry time for any show, as we do not allow access to the facility before the posted door time for any reason, including use of our restrooms.
    • If you choose to line up well before that, you will be outdoors on a public sidewalk, and exposed to the elements, so please plan accordingly. The City of Detroit has the final word on use of the sidewalk, so please note that the police department may ask you to move or disperse at any time.
    • We do not provide supervision or chaperoning for the line at any time and are not responsible for any articles that you may bring with you while you wait. This includes chairs, blankets, coats and any other personal property that may be left unattended.
    • Please be aware that other local businesses may be operating during this time, and we ask that you are respectful of their entrances and exits.
    • Our security staff may move or reorganize the lines at any time, to best facilitate swift and orderly entry to the venue.
  • My ticket says doors at ___; what does it mean? When does the event start?
    Door time is when entry to the building is allowed; most events begin 60 – 90 minutes after that time.
