Concert Reminders

  We strongly recommend leaving plenty of time for downtown traffic, parking, security, and getting to your seats before the performance begins. We don’t want you to miss any of the music! Late arrivals will be seated during the first available break.

  Due to other performances in the Denver Performing Arts Complex (DPAC) and limited parking at the garage, we suggest arriving as early as possible and plan a backup parking location, or alternate forms of transportation.

  Entrances to the DPAC garage are located on Arapahoe Street (between 13^th and 14^th St.) and on 13^th Street (between Arapahoe and Champa St.) in downtown Denver. Boettcher Concert Hall is situated at the southwest end of the Denver Performing Arts Complex  — located at 14^th & Curtis Streets.

Security for Boettcher Concert Hall

To provide for the safety of all guests and employees at Boettcher Concert Hall and the entire Denver Performing Arts Complex, Denver Arts & Venues provides enhanced security measures at Boettcher Concert Hall. These security measures include Evolv contactless security screening and may include bag checks.

We encourage you to arrive up to an hour early, prior to the start of your event. This will alleviate congestion in all walk ways and entrances and will allow for proper screening. To review a full list of permitted and prohibited items, please visit artscomplex.com.

About Touchless Screening

Inside Boettcher Concert Hall, Buell Theatre and Ellie Caulkins Opera House, we have a touchless screening system that ensures safer, more accurate threat detection at a seamless pace to eliminate long entry lines. The technology identifies unknown metal objects on a separate digital monitor and notifies staff when secondary screening is necessary. If the device sounds an alert, you may be asked by staff to participate in additional screening before proceeding. Please note, things like a metal clasp or chain on a purse, or an eyeglass case can sometimes trigger the alert, so we appreciate your patience and understanding if you asked to participate in further screening. For additional information, please contact ArtsComplexPatronServices@denvergov.org.

Box Office & Will Call

The Colorado Symphony Box Office is inside the lobby of Boettcher Concert Hall, located at the southwest end of the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Allow plenty of time for ticket pick-up and parking. On performance days, Will Call ticket pick-up is typically located right outside the Box Office and lobby, and is busiest 30 – 45 minutes prior to the show. Please have your ID ready to help our agents find your tickets quickly. You may also pick up your tickets any time the Boettcher Concert Hall Box Office is open: Mon-Sat: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
