Tips & Advice

  • Arrive about 30 minutes early. Everyone goes through metal detectors and bag checks, and bags must fit comfortably under your seat.
  • Leave cameras at home. They aren't allowed, there's no storage area, and confiscated items can't be returned.
  • If you arrive late, you may have to wait for an approved entrance time and watch on the lobby screens until then.
  • Buy only from the PPAC Box Office or ppacri.org. Tickets from unauthorized sellers may be counterfeit.
  • Cards with a billing address outside RI, MA and CT are limited to two tickets. Those tickets are held at the Box Office for pickup with photo ID and the card used.
