  • Rows and seats: rows are numbered from the bottom of each section up, from Row 1. Viewed from the floor, seats run left to right from Seat 1.

To buy, choose "Show accessible tickets" under the Filter section on Ticketmaster.
  • Accessible entrances: the designated ADA entry doors are Door 1 (VIP/ADA Entrance) at both the Grand Atrium and East Atrium entrances.
  • General admission: when a show has it, the GA line can form from 10 a.m. on the day at the Grand Atrium VIP Door 1, the far-left door on the southwest side, unless staff or signs say otherwise. All GA ticket holders must enter there, and off-site lines aren't honored.

The layout changes by show. Ball Arena publishes several seating layouts. The seat map on your ticket listing is the final word for your show.

Bag policy

Only small clutches, wristlets and fanny packs 4" x 6" x 1.5" or smaller are allowed. Purses and backpacks aren't.

Medical and diaper bags no larger than 14" x 14" x 6" are allowed after inspection. Enter through the VIP/ADA Door 1 at the Grand Atrium or East Atrium entrance for x-ray screening, and keep the bag with you at your seat.

This is the standard for all events unless a tour sets its own. Guest Relations (303-405-8548) has event-specific details.

All permitted bags, jackets and guests are subject to search on entry.

Not allowed: outside food and drink, cans and glass containers, water bottles (empty ones too, at concerts, unless the tour allows them), laptops, iPads and GoPros, selfie sticks and tripods, air horns and whistles, flags, and signs larger than 22" x 28", among other items.
