Tips & Advice

  • Buy your ticket in advance, because advance tickets cost less than day-of-show tickets and prices may change with demand.
  • Buy tickets in person at the State Theatre box office on a Friday or before any State Theatre show to avoid online fees.
  • Reserve a parking spot ahead through the State Theatre's SpotHero page so you aren't looking for parking on show night.
  • Get there when the doors open so you have time to settle in before the 19-piece band starts playing.
