How to Order Tickets

We’ve been getting some questions about buying tickets lately.  There a a few different ways.  The shows that are coming up soon are easy!  One way is to scroll down below and find your event and click “buy tickets now”.  They don’t all fit on the front page, so be sure to hit “previous entries” to go to the next page.  Still don’t see your event?  It’s probably happening a little further down the line.  Try clicking on the dates on the calendar and find the event you are looking for.  If you hover over the red numbers, it will give you a quick glance of who is playing that date.  Once you click on a specific date, you can click “buy tickets now” if that event is up for sale.  Another round about way  is to go to events in the top bar, keep clicking “previous entries” at the bottom until you see your event, and then click “read full article”..  If you don’t see an option to buy tickets, that means it isn’t available quite yet, but will be soon..    See what I mean? A bit tricky!..  We’re working on it.   Thanks for your patience!
