General Admission

For free Summer for the City events, over half the venue capacity is aways available for General Admission. Just show up; no tickets needed! Entry to most performances and events is available for FREE via General Admission—first-come, first-served.

While we'll do our best to accommodate as many guests as possible, we cannot guarantee admission.
