Frequently asked questions … and other useful info.
Ticketing
Where can I buy tickets?
Advance tickets can be purchased through our website. Our primary authorized ticket vendor is Prekindle. If tickets still remain, they can be purchased at the door the night of the show. If a show is sold out, you can sign up for the waitlist using Tixel. Tixel is the only authorized fan-to-fan exchange for purchasing or reselling verified tickets at The Heights Theater.
I purchased tickets and cannot attend the show. What is your refund or exchange policy?
All ticket sales are final and nonrefundable. If you decide to give the tickets to a friend, you can change the name on your tickets yourself via Prekindle up to 24 hours before the show.
If you need to change the information after that point or have other ticket-related questions, please contact the Prekindle support team.
Or you can list your tickets on the authorized fan-to-fan resale exchange: Tixel.
I purchased tickets from a third party (StubHub, Craigslist, an individual, etc). Are my tickets valid?
The majority of our tickets are sold through Prekindle, our authorized ticketing vendor. Tixel is an authorized fan-to-fan ticket resale exchange platform. On occasion, but rarely, an artist will sell limited tickets directly from their site.
Please be cautious when purchasing tickets from a third-party vendor or from people on social media, as tickets purchased from unauthorized sources might be fake and do not guarantee entry. If you purchased a fake or fraudulent ticket, we encourage you to check out FixTheTix.
We reserve the right to prohibit the transfer or cancel the purchase of any ticket if we believe the purchase was made solely for the intent of reselling at a higher price.
How do I get my tickets?
Tickets are “paperless”. You should have received your tickets via email from Prekindle. Additionally, you can check in at the door with your confirmation number and an ID with the name the tickets were purchased under.
If you have a question about your ticket, please contact our ticketing company, Prekindle.

Our normal schedule is: the lobby/bar opening at 6:00 p.m., showroom doors at 7:00 p.m. and show start time at 8:00 p.m. We generally close one hour after show end. Please review each show as times are subject to change.
The Heights Theater is a historic theater. Does it have accessible seating?
Yes, a small ramp that accommodates wheelchairs descends from the lobby to performance space on the first floor. The accessible seating has unobstructed sight lines and is located in close proximity to the stage.
One contiguous seat can be assigned next to the accessible seating if available at the time of purchase. Please make arrangements for contiguous seating at the time of purchase by contacting Prekindle.

Parking & Accommodations
Where do I park and how much does it cost?
Public parking at The Heights Theater is free, with many spaces located along 19th, Ashland, and Rutland Streets. The Heights Theater patrons can also park in the Aspire Dental parking lot after 6:00 p.m.
What are the best local hotel accommodations?

Venue Policies
What is the concert etiquette policy?
We want everyone to be relaxed and have a great experience. Our shows range from dancing and heavy metal to classical and singer-songwriters, so the norms may change per show. A good rule of thumb is to go by what other concertgoers are doing. If they are clapping, singing, and dancing, then you should, too; but if they are sitting quietly and listening intently, then you probably should, too.
Do you have any age restrictions?
Most shows are all ages unless otherwise noted on the ticketing page. Generally, those 17 and under need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Show content is not guaranteed to be rated or censored.
Do you have a bag policy?
Generally speaking, bags should not impede the space of other guests in an intimate venue setting. We recommend bags smaller than 14” x 14”; however, exceptions can be made for bags containing medically necessary items. Please note, any bag brought into the venue may be subject to search.
What is your video/camera/recording policy?
The recording policy is set by each artist. Most local shows may be recorded as long as it is not disruptive to the patrons or talent. Most touring artists have restrictions that do not allow for any type of recording device during a show.
Flash photography is not permitted at any of our shows.
If you want to be sure, email us prior to the show.
