Bowery Ballroom Venue Information

The Bowery Ballroom, established by Michael Swier, Michael Winsch, and Brian Swier, is a cornerstone of New York City’s live music scene. Housed in a historic building that once served as a vaudeville hall and a shoe store, the venue was fully renovated in 1998 to optimize sound quality and sightlines, earning accolades as one of America’s top music venues by outlets like Consequence of Sound and Thrillist. With a capacity of 575 (or 110-120 with theater-style seating plus 30 on the mezzanine), it features three distinct areas: the main floor with a 20x14x4-foot stage, a mezzanine with café-style seating and a bar, and a downstairs lounge with a 50-foot mahogany bar. The venue operates daily from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM, with concert start times varying. Payment at the venue is cashless, accepting only debit or credit cards, though cash can be converted to prepaid debit cards on-site without fees. Smoking is prohibited indoors, but an outdoor smoking area is available. The venue is ADA-compliant, offering accommodations like reserved seating upon request, which must be arranged at least one week in advance. There is no re-entry (except for the smoking area), and bags are subject to inspection.

Bowery Ballroom Seating Options

General Admission

The Bowery Ballroom is primarily a standing-room venue, with general admission (GA) tickets offering access to the main floor, where fans can stand close to the stage for an immersive experience. The floor standing area is ideal for those who want to be near the performers, though visibility may be challenging for shorter attendees due to the lack of elevated seating. The mezzanine level provides 1,000 square feet of standing room and limited café-style seating, offering an elevated view of the stage. GA tickets are the most affordable, starting at around $28.80, and are the standard option for most concerts. Note that the venue can feel crowded, especially for sold-out shows, so arriving early (recommended 30-60 minutes before doors open) is advised to secure a good spot.

VIP Packages

VIP packages at the Bowery Ballroom are event-specific and not always available. When offered, they may include premium balcony seats with unobstructed views, access to exclusive areas like the mezzanine’s banquetted niches, or additional perks like early entry or merchandise. Prices for VIP tickets can range significantly, sometimes reaching up to $1,066.99 for high-demand shows. Check the event’s Ticketmaster page or contact the venue directly for availability. The mezzanine’s café-style seating and bar area often serve as a de facto VIP section for those seeking a more comfortable experience. For specific inquiries about VIP options, email [email protected].

Bowery Ballroom Ticket Sources

Ticketmaster (Primary Tickets)

Ticketmaster is the primary ticket source for Bowery Ballroom events. Fans can purchase tickets directly through the venue’s website by clicking the “Buy Tickets” icon on the event page, which redirects to Ticketmaster’s platform. The Ticketmaster app is recommended for mobile ticket scanning, ensuring seamless entry. Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster are guaranteed, and refunds are automatically issued for canceled shows. Prices vary by event, with general admission starting at $23 and premium options reaching up to $1,972 for high-profile performances. Always check the event page for specific pricing and availability, as popular shows often sell out quickly.

Box Office

The Bowery Ballroom’s box office sells tickets on the night of the show if the event is not sold out. It is located at the venue (6 Delancey Street) and typically opens when doors open, about an hour before the performance. The box office accepts only debit or credit cards, with cash conversion to prepaid debit cards available on-site. Purchasing at the box office avoids online service fees, but availability is not guaranteed, so online purchases are recommended for high-demand shows. For questions, contact [email protected].

Ticket Squeeze (Resale Tickets)

Ticket Squeeze is a resale platform where fans can buy or sell Bowery Ballroom tickets. Prices on resale markets fluctuate based on demand and may be above or below face value. While Ticket Squeeze offers a convenient option for sold-out shows, buyers should exercise caution and verify ticket authenticity. Ticket Squeeze offer verified tickets and 100% buyer guarantee.

Concert Tickets

Concert tickets are the primary offering at the Bowery Ballroom, granting access to live music performances. These are typically general admission, allowing entry to the standing-room main floor or mezzanine. Prices vary widely depending on the artist, ranging from $23 for smaller acts to over $1,000 for premium or sold-out shows. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, the box office (if not sold out), or resale platforms.

VIP Packages

As noted, VIP packages are offered for select events and may include premium seating, early entry, or exclusive access to areas like the mezzanine bar. These packages cater to fans seeking a more elevated experience and can cost significantly more than GA tickets, with prices up to $1,066.99. Availability and perks vary, so check the event’s Ticketmaster page or contact the venue for details.

General Admission

General admission tickets provide access to the standing-room areas on the main floor and mezzanine. They are the most common and budget-friendly option, with prices starting at $28.80. GA tickets do not guarantee seating, as the venue has limited seating options, primarily reserved for ADA accommodations. Early arrival is key to securing a good view.

Resale Tickets

Resale tickets are available through platforms like Ticket Squeeze. These are tickets originally purchased from primary sources but resold by fans. Prices can be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand, and may range from $23 to $1,972. Buyers should prioritize verified platforms to avoid counterfeit tickets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Parking Included in the Ticket?

No, parking is not included in the ticket price at the Bowery Ballroom. The venue does not have designated parking, but there is ample street parking in the surrounding Lower East Side neighborhood. Additionally, a parking garage is located nearby on Essex Street. For convenience, consider public transportation (subway or bus) or rideshare services, with designated drop-off and pick-up spots at 6 Delancey Street.

Where Are the Best Seats at Bowery Ballroom?

The “best seats” depend on your preferences, as the Bowery Ballroom is primarily a standing-room venue. For the closest view of the performers, the main floor’s standing area near the stage is ideal, though it can be crowded, and visibility may be limited for shorter attendees. The mezzanine offers an elevated view with limited café-style seating and standing room, providing a clearer perspective of the stage, especially for those who prefer a less crowded experience. Front-row balcony seats on the mezzanine are considered premium for their unobstructed views. Arrive early (30-60 minutes before doors) to secure a prime spot, and check the event’s seating chart on Ticketmaster for specific configurations. For ADA seating in advance.

Are There Any Age Restrictions?

Age restrictions at the Bowery Ballroom vary by event. Most shows are 18+, but some are 16+ or 21+. Always check the specific event page on the venue’s website or Ticketmaster for age requirements. All attendees must present a government-issued photo ID or passport for entry, and security verifies ages at the door. For all-ages shows, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
