About Cannon Center For The Performing Arts

Cannon Center for the Performing Arts opened in 2003 at 255 North Main St in Memphis, Tennessee, as part of the Renasant Convention Center complex. Owned by the City of Memphis and operated in connection with the convention center authority, it is a modern, multi-purpose performing arts theater with approximately 2,100 seats, with commonly cited capacity figures between about 2,050 and 2,100 depending on configuration.

The Cannon Center is regarded as one of downtown Memphis’s premier seated performing arts venues and serves as a home venue for the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. Its calendar includes symphony and orchestral performances, ballet, opera, pop and rock concerts, touring musical acts, comedy, speaker events, graduations, and cultural or community programming.

Named for the Bob and Kitty Cannon family of Memphis, the venue is known as the city’s principal mid-size concert hall for symphonic, touring, and cultural programming, with an intimate scale that gives most seats strong proximity to the stage.

How Much Do Tickets to Cannon Center For The Performing Arts Cost?

Cannon Center For The Performing Arts 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 symphony and cultural performances to touring pop and rock concerts with marquee headliners.

For symphony, orchestral, and cultural performances, tickets are often priced in the approximate $25 to $90 range. Seat location matters, with upper-level and rear sections typically offering lower entry prices and center orchestra areas commanding more.

For touring concerts and pop or rock shows, tickets are commonly in the approximate $40 to $125 range, with higher prices possible for marquee headliners. Front orchestra rows and prime center-orchestra seating usually see stronger demand for these events.

For comedy, speaker, and special events, tickets are often in the approximate $35 to $100 range. Pricing can shift based on the performer, event profile, and how much inventory remains in preferred seating areas.
