Please note that the only way to ensure the validity of your ticket is by purchasing directly through our box office or our ticketing partner, Prekindle. Event tickets purchased from a source other than Prekindle may not be honored for admission. We are not responsible for tickets purchased on resale sites, so please exercise caution in making ticket purchases.
I HAVEN’T RECEIVED MY TICKETS YET. HOW CAN I ACCESS THEM?
To protect the community from third party resellers, tickets are delivered to your email address 24 hours before the show. A link to your tickets can also be found in your Know Before You Go email at that time.
DO TICKET PRICES CHANGE?
Most ticket prices increase leading up to the event and on the day of show. If tickets are still available, they can be purchased at the door, but please note that we do not accept cash.
WHERE IS THE VENUE LOCATED?
Tower Theatre is located at 425 NW 23rd St, Oklahoma City, OK 73103, in the Uptown 23rd District.
Our sister venues are nearby: Ponyboy is next door at 423 NW 23rd St, and Beer City Music Hall is at 1141 NW 2nd St.
WHERE DO I PARK?
There is free parking available directly across 23rd St in the East lot, in addition to numerous other paid and free locations in the Uptown 23rd area. Other paid parking may also be available nearby, but this is not under our control.
WHAT IS FAST PASS?
Fast Pass allows you priority entry into the venue. Fast Pass holders will be the first in when the doors open and wait in a separate line to ensure priority entry. Fast Pass is not a ticket to the event, does not allow entry before posted door times, and must be accompanied by an event ticket.
Fast Pass may be bought with your ticket on Prekindle or separately at the box office upon arrival, while supplies last. Please note select shows will not have Fast Pass available that night.
