FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

 
   
 


 
 

 

How do I buy tickets to a show at TPAC?
Tickets can be purchased online, by phone or in person. Visit our How to Purchase Tickets Page for more information.

 

I know that Ticketmaster charges handling fees for tickets. Does TPAC?
TPAC does charge handling fees for online and phone purchases. We are a non-profit organization, so ticketing fees are used to pay for things such as building maintenance, staffing phones, and maintaining our website. However, tickets purchased in person at TPAC's Main Box Office do not receive any handling fees.

 

Where and when can I pick up my tickets?
Tickets can be mailed, emailed or picked up at the box office. Tickets held at the box office are available for pick up 90 minutes prior to show time. A valid photo ID must be presented at the time of pick up.

Where is War Memorial Auditorium located?

What are the ticket prices?

You can also inquire about ticket prices by calling TPAC Ticket Sales at 615-782-4040 or 877-216-7540. Visit our How to Purchase Tickets Page for hours of operation.

 

My Print at Home ticket only shows a barcode. Where is all the event information?
Some users experience issues rendering the print at home tickets on mobile or tablet devices. We recommend opening, viewing and printing the print at home tickets on a desktop computer. If you do not have access to a desktop, the box office can print your tickets for entry into the venue on the night of the performance.

 

Do you have a seating chart of the theater?
Seating charts for Andrew Jackson Hall and James K. Polk Theater can be viewed on our Facilities & Rental Page. Because the seating configurations for both Andrew Johnson Theater and War Memorial Auditorium can be changed depending on the needs of the show, seating charts for these venues are unavailable. For more information about seat locations call 615-782-4040.

 

Do you have discounts for groups?
Yes. Visit our Group Sales Page for more information.

 

Does my baby/child need a ticket?
Yes. Everyone must have a ticket. There are no exceptions. Unless a performance is clearly geared to young children, TPAC recommends against bringing babies and young children to our performances.

 

Do you offer child-priced tickets for Broadway shows?
Not usually. A select few Broadway shows will sometimes offer lap-seats for children less than 12 months of age. These tickets are only available at will call 90 minutes prior to show time. For more information, contact the Box Office.
