Covid-19 Information
The safety of our artists, fans, and staff is always our top priority and planned for accordingly. We encourage those who are sick to stay home, and remind everyone coming to our venues to wash their hands regularly with soap and water and use hand sanitizer.
We continue to implement preventive measures at all Live Nation Venues in line with the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health agencies. We have taken the following steps to help ensure the health and safety of everyone who walks into our buildings:
- Extra hand sanitizer dispensers at all bathroom areas, concessions stands, lobbies, offices and backstage
- Additional signage and messaging in restrooms, backstage and offices to help reinforce basic health and hygiene practices
- Eliminating hand pump condiment dispensers, providing individual packages instead
- Granting fans ability to bring disposable wipes and hand sanitizers into all venues
- Janitorial staff equipped with additional USDA and Food Code Compliant disinfectants and wipes for immediate cleaning response
- Increased frequency of cleaning routines and disinfection of high touch areas
For updates and information about COVID-19, please visit the CDC’s website. We recognize this is a very fluid situation, and will work to update our ticket purchasers with new information as it becomes available to us.

Does the Bowery Ballroom have seats?
From time to time, we seat special shows at the The Bowery Ballroom. But some of us highly recommend you getting off your tush and shaking what your mama gave you.
Do I need to bring ID?
Of course you do! Government-issued photo ID (including NYC-issued IDs) is required for entry.
Do you serve cheese fries?
No, but there are light snacks available for purchase at The Bowery Ballroom.

Show generally begin an hour after doors open. One to three support acts usually precede the headliner, which typically takes the stage at 9, 10, or 11 p.m.
What kind of drinks do you have?
We have a full bar in each venue, with plenty of H20 and soft drinks along with a wide selection of beers (on-tap and bottled), wine and spirits to cure what ales you.
I have a blog. Do I count as press?
Maybe, but don’t ask us. The Bowery Ballroom doesn’t issue press passes or photo passes. All press inquiries should be directed to the band’s publicist, label or management.
Can I get in for free?
Maybe, but what are you going to do for us? Relationships are a two-way street. We are always in search of street-teamers and folks to flyer. We can also offer you free admission if you were on any of the Yankees’ championship rosters.
Can you give me the contact of someone at the label?
Unfortunately, we cannot give out that information, but Google and liner notes might help. You’ll be surprised what you can find on the Internet.
Can I bring my camera?
Photo policy varies for different artists and is usually not determined until day of show, although no GoPros and no audio/video recording is allowed. You can bring a nonprofessional camera (point and shoot, no detachable lenses) to most shows, and you can inquire about the photo policy at the door. Professional cameras are only allowed with a photo pass issued by band management. NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY.
Do you have a coat check?
Yes, during the colder months.. The coat check costs $3 per item. (No, your scarves and gloves don’t count as items.) Remember: Don’t lose your coat-check ticket! If you do, you’ll have to wait until the very end of the night to get your items back. You can take a photo of your ticket on your phone just in case.
