Tickets for 9:30 Club, The Atlantis, Lincoln Theatre, The Anthem, Merriweather Post Pavilion, and some additional I.M.P. shows that take place outside of our venues can be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com.

Tickets for ALL shows can be purchased in person at the 9:30 Club, Lincoln Theatre, The Anthem, and Merriweather Post Pavilion box offices, and at 9:30 The Truck.

Disclaimer
Tickets for all shows are sold online through Ticketmaster or in person at the Box Offices at The Anthem, 9:30 Club, Lincoln Theatre, The Atlantis, and Merriweather Post Pavilion, and at 9:30 The Truck. Tickets are sometimes also available through fan club sites as presales or special VIP packages. Please be aware that tickets purchased through other, secondary market sources (i.e. StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, scalpers, etc), may or may not be legitimate. I.M.P. does not endorse using any secondary ticketing sources, and the Box Office can not resolve any issues involving them, such as lost or invalid tickets.

We know you can’t wait, but doors (or gates) open at the time listed on your ticket and the website. Please note that these vary by show. Patience is a virtue.

We know you love lots of acts (we do too!). We are typically not involved in any meet-and-greets and generally have nothing to do with artist/fan relations (outside of putting a ticket in your hand!). We suggest looking on the artist’s social media, checking with their fan club, or following radio stations, publications, or other media outlets that will be keyed-into the band’s music for any info on meet-and-greets (should they exist).

Media policy varies greatly by show. Call the respective venue’s box office one hour before doors and we can fill you in as to what is/is not allowed.

We have four box office locations. You can purchase tickets to all of our shows at any of our box offices.

From time to time, we’re able to offer presales for shows to our email subscribers (we love you all!). You can keep up with these presales by signing up for our newsletter HERE.

You can pick up your tickets from Will Call at any time during each venue’s box office hours, and you also can select an option to have your tickets mailed to you. Certain shows will give you an option to have your tickets emailed to you for printing at home.

Note: For Fan Club presales, refer to the specific venue for instructions on when those tickets can be picked up.

For 9:30 Club, Lincoln Theatre, The Atlantis, and The Anthem, tickets are non-transferable until 72 hours prior to the show time. At The Anthem, Super Excellent Seats are non-transferrable and day-of-show pick up only.

If the tickets were bought through Ticketmaster and you’ve chosen to have them held at the Will Call window, you can have a friend pick them up, but they must provide ALL of the following items:
– Copy of your ID
– Copy of the Credit Card used to purchase (all digits can be blacked-out except for the last four)
– Confirmation number

Alternatively, you can come to any of our box offices anytime we’re open and pick them up (make sure you have a valid ID). That way you can just give them to your friend.

If you purchased tickets through an artist’s fan club, you will need to contact them directly. We can’t make any adjustments to their list. Fan club tickets are usually will call only and we don’t get them until 1 hour before doors open.

Note: Policies for tickets purchased for venues outside of 9:30 Club, The Atlantis, Merriweather Post Pavilion, The Anthem, and Lincoln Theatre vary. Check the venue’s website for their specific ticketing and will call policies.

Unless otherwise specified, our shows are all-ages, all the time. Yes – you can bring your (ear-protected, hopefully) baby to the death metal show.

Unless a show or section is otherwise specified, it is General Admission (GA) and therefore first-come, first-served. If the tickets include assigned seats, there will be ushers at the venue to help you find the correct seat.

We take steps to ensure that anyone can see any show.

Our outdoor shows are rain or shine. We have safety precautions in place in the event of storms and continually update patrons via our large screens and social media.

An ID is only required if you are picking up tickets at will call or plan on drinking alcohol. Because most of our shows are all-ages, we take checking IDs very seriously. In compliance with local laws, anyone 21 and older who plans on drinking alcohol will have to show a valid, non-expired, government issued photo ID, no matter how old you think you may look. Anyone without proper ID, regardless of age, will be treated as under 21 and not allowed to buy, hold or drink alcohol. This policy is strictly enforced and any violation will result in immediate ejection from the venue.

It varies by venue:

9:30 Club, The Atlantis, The Anthem, and Lincoln Theatre
Unfortunately, we cannot allow outside food and beverages in any way. This includes to-go boxes and unopened drinks. Reusable bottles must be emptied. Anyone who attempts to bring in alcohol will be denied entry.

Merriweather Post Pavilion
Outside food is permitted, so long as it is in a clear, non-glass container no larger than a one-gallon bag. Empty or factory-sealed water bottles are allowed. No other outside beverages are allowed. Anyone who attempts to bring in alcohol will be denied entry.

This means a more even transportation flow into the venue – and no more searching for parking when you arrive – just head straight to your designated parking area – there will be a spot waiting for you! Click here for more info on Merriweather parking.

Don’t forget to bring your physical parking ticket (or electronic ticket on your smart phone) for entry into your designated area.
