Buses: School buses should follow the directions in your Welcome Packet, which includes a parking map and will be send 1 week before the concert.

Cars/Vans: Cars/vans should park in the Denver Performing Arts Complex garage.

Light Rail: take the D, F, or H line to the Theatre District/Convention Center stop. Walk two blocks west on 14th Street, then turn left into the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Boettcher Concert Hall is at the southwest end.

We recommend arriving 30 minutes before the concert start time to allow time for parking, check-in, and seating. Please factor in additional time for traffic and unloading.

Seating is assigned based on group size. Special seating requests are not accepted, but accessible seating is available. Please contact us in advance if accessible seating is needed.

Seating assignments will be emailed one (1) week before the concert.

After the 10:00AM performance, your group must exit immediately to allow seating for the next performance. You may reenter the building once the 11:30AM performance begins.

After the 11:30AM performance, your group may use the restrooms on their way out.

We strongly encourage using the restroom before the concert or allowing quiet restroom trips during the performance with a chaperone.

Yes, but space is very limited. If possible, please leave lunches on the bus. If you must bring them inside, our ushers will direct you to a storage area.

Eating inside Boettcher Concert Hall is not permitted. Groups attending the 11:30AM concert are welcome to eat outdoors in Sculpture Park afterward, weather permitting. If necessary, 11:30AM groups may eat in the DPAC Galleria.

Please Note: Groups attending the 10:00AM concert may not remain onsite to eat.

If we cancel the concert, you will be notified via email and/or phone. Please ensure your contact information is up to date on your reservation form.

If your district cancels school or field trips, but the concert is still happening, email tickets@coloradosymphony.org. We will follow up after the concert to discuss rescheduling or refunds.
