About Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex

Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex, also known as the BJCC, opened in 1976 and has expanded and modernized over subsequent decades. Operated by the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center Authority, the complex is located in downtown Birmingham and includes multiple event spaces under one footprint. Capacity varies by space: Legacy Arena seats approximately 18,000, the Concert Hall seats approximately 2,835, the theater seats approximately 1,000, and the broader complex includes more than 220,000 to 360,000 square feet of meeting and exhibition space.

The BJCC is one of the largest convention and entertainment complexes in the Southeast and a cornerstone cultural and event destination for Birmingham. Its event calendar spans touring concerts, sporting events, comedy, family shows, Broadway and theatrical productions, conventions, trade shows, graduations, and large meetings. Legacy Arena has also undergone a major renovation completed in 2022, bringing a modernized arena experience to the complex.

With an arena, concert hall, theater, and exhibition halls all connected to the Uptown district, Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex is known for hosting many of Birmingham's largest live entertainment and convention events.

Location & Transportation

Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex is located at 2100 Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd N., Birmingham, AL 35203 — in downtown Birmingham's Uptown Entertainment District.

Driving and Parking: Most attendees arrive by car. On-site and adjacent parking is available in BJCC lots and decks serving the arena and exhibition spaces, with additional surface lots and garages throughout the surrounding downtown area. For major arena events, parking lots can fill before showtime, so arriving early is the best way to reduce stress and give yourself time to reach the correct part of the complex.

Transit: The complex is served by Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority MAX bus routes. Transit options in Birmingham are limited, so bus service can be useful for some guests, but driving remains the most common way to reach BJCC events.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Birmingham, with drop-off and pickup available near the complex. After large arena shows, expect congestion around the venue and build in extra time for your driver to reach the pickup area.

Nearby Accommodation: The Sheraton Birmingham Hotel and Westin Birmingham are directly connected to or beside the complex, offering the easiest access for eventgoers. Additional downtown Birmingham hotels are also within a short distance.

Venue Navigation

Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex is a large multi-component venue, so understanding the layout before you arrive helps you move efficiently from parking, rideshare, or your hotel to the correct event space. The complex includes Legacy Arena, the Concert Hall, the theater, and exhibition halls, each serving different event types.

Entrances and Access: The complex has multiple entrances serving its distinct components. Legacy Arena, the Concert Hall, the theater, and the exhibition halls each have their own entry points, and guests enter through the space associated with their event.

Concourse Levels: Legacy Arena is organized into a lower bowl and upper level with concourse access around the floor. The Concert Hall and theater use tiered, fixed-seat auditorium layouts, creating a more traditional performance-space experience for concerts, stage shows, and theatrical productions.

Accessibility: Accessible seating, parking, and services are available throughout the complex in accordance with ADA requirements. Because the BJCC includes multiple venues and levels, accessible routes can vary by event space.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and staff direct guests to the appropriate building and seating areas. Since the complex is large and includes multiple buildings, allow time to walk from parking or rideshare to the part of the BJCC where your event is taking place.

Dining Options

Inside Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex

Concessions are available within the arena and other event spaces, including standard stadium fare and alcohol at most events. For major concerts, sporting events, and family shows, concession lines are typically busiest shortly before the event begins and during natural breaks, so arriving early can make food and drink stops easier.

Outside the Venue — Uptown Entertainment District

The surrounding Uptown Entertainment District offers numerous restaurants and bars within walking distance of the complex. Nearby attractions include Topgolf and CityWalk BHAM, and downtown Birmingham's broader dining scene is a short distance away for fans planning a meal before or after the event.

Security & Policies

Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bag restrictions and size limits typically apply and can vary by event. Clear-bag policies may be in effect for certain events, so packing light is the safest approach.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, and other items specified for the event.

Re-Entry: Re-entry policies vary by event and are generally not permitted for most events. Event listings and ticket details show the rules that apply for your date.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, metal detection or security screening, and digital ticket verification at entry. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets speeds up the process.

How Much Do Tickets to Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Cost?

Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from sporting and family events to high-demand arena concerts.

Concert Hall and theater performances typically range from approximately $30 to $100 or more, depending on the production, seat location, and demand for the date.

Arena concerts typically range from approximately $40 to $150 or more. High-demand headliners, floor seats, and lower-bowl sections can push prices higher, especially as the event date approaches.

Sporting and family events can start as low as approximately $15 to $25, with prices varying by event type, seating location, and demand.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing for high-demand arena events. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise, especially for major concerts and popular touring shows.

Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Seating Guide

Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex seating depends on which part of the complex hosts your event. Legacy Arena features a lower bowl and upper level around the floor for concerts and sporting events, while the Concert Hall and theater offer tiered, fixed-seat auditorium layouts.

Best Seats at Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex

  • Best value: Upper-level arena sections are typically the most affordable for Legacy Arena events, while rear sections in the Concert Hall and theater often offer lower-priced seating for performances.
  • Closest to the action: Floor seats and front lower-bowl rows in Legacy Arena put you nearest the stage or court. In the Concert Hall and theater, front-of-house rows offer the closest view of the performance.
  • Best overall experience: Lower bowl sections near center in the arena, along with center main-floor and lower-tier sections in the Concert Hall and theater, provide the strongest balance of sightline, proximity, and atmosphere.
  • Premium and suite options: The renovated Legacy Arena added premium and club seating options for guests seeking elevated service and a more upgraded event experience.
  • For groups: The BJCC's varied spaces can accommodate groups across arena events, theater performances, conventions, meetings, and exhibitions. For high-demand events, coordinating seats early gives groups better access to contiguous locations.
  • General admission: Some events use general-admission configurations, especially arena concerts with general-admission floor setups. Reserved seating applies to other events.

Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage or court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy.

Getting Ready for Your Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large downtown complex with multiple event spaces.

  • Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
  • Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
  • Arrive early. For major arena events, parking lots fill and downtown traffic builds before showtime, so give yourself extra time for arrival, security, and finding your section.
  • Wear the right footwear. The complex is large with multiple buildings, and you may walk between parking and your specific venue component. Comfortable shoes make that easier.
  • Dress in layers. Most event spaces are indoors, so weather exposure is minimal aside from the walk from parking, rideshare, or nearby hotels.
  • Build extra time into your transit plan. Major arena events draw heavier traffic into the Uptown district, and the approach to parking areas can slow down close to showtime.
  • Know your entrance. The BJCC houses Legacy Arena, the Concert Hall, the theater, and exhibition halls, so checking the event space listed on your ticket before arrival helps you head to the right entrance.
  • Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
