Fox Tucson Theatre originally opened in 1930 as a combination movie and vaudeville house. After closing for roughly 30 years, it reopened in 2005 following a major restoration and now operates as a nonprofit venue run by the Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation. Located at 17 W. Congress St. in downtown Tucson, the theater seats approximately 1,160 guests, giving it a close, single-auditorium scale.
The Fox is regarded as the crown jewel of downtown Tucson’s cultural revival and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its event calendar includes live concerts across rock, folk, Americana, jazz, world music, and tribute acts, along with comedy, theatrical and dance productions, classic film screenings, family shows, and community and cultural events.
The theater is especially known for its blend of Art Deco and Southwestern Mission/Spanish Colonial decorative motifs, including ornate interior details, restored murals, and a warm historic setting that keeps every seat relatively close to the stage.

Fox Tucson Theatre ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from classic film screenings and community events to touring concerts and comedy.
For concerts and touring music, tickets are often approximately $30–$90, with high-demand acts rising higher. Seat location is a major driver, with orchestra seats and premium center areas typically commanding more than balcony or rear-orchestra options.
For comedy, theatrical, and family shows, tickets are typically approximately $25–$75. Pricing can shift based on the production, performer popularity, date, and how quickly the best sections sell.
For classic film screenings and community events, entry can start as low as approximately $10–$20, making these events some of the most accessible ways to experience the restored Fox Tucson Theatre auditorium.
Popular shows can sell out given the theater's modest approximately 1,160-seat capacity, so buying earlier generally secures better seat selection and pricing. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.
