OFFICIAL TICKET SOURCES While it’s tempting to get tickets any way you can, there are many sites and people who are selling overpriced, and in some cases, fraudulent tickets. If you buy from a ticket reseller, Hennepin Arts cannot guarantee the legitimacy of your ticket, and you risk being denied admission, refunds and/or exchanges, and updates in real time should there be any changes to the status of the show. We urge you to buy only from our authorized ticketing agents.

Ticketmaster is the only authorized ticketing agent for online purchases.
