About DeVos Place

DeVos Place is a downtown Grand Rapids convention center and performance complex located along the Grand River. Opened in 2004, it replaced the former Welsh Civic Auditorium / Grand Center on the same riverfront site. The venue is owned by the Grand Rapids–Kent County Convention/Arena Authority and managed by ASM Global. Capacity varies widely by configuration: the attached DeVos Performance Hall seats approximately 2,400, while the broader complex includes roughly 162,000 square feet of exhibit space, a ballroom of around 40,000 square feet, and numerous meeting rooms.

The complex hosts conventions, trade shows, Broadway touring productions, symphony and classical performances, opera, ballet, concerts, comedy, family entertainment, corporate events, banquets, and expos. DeVos Performance Hall is the city’s leading venue for Broadway tours, symphony, opera, and ballet, with the Grand Rapids Symphony resident at the hall. Opera Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids Ballet also perform in the complex, adding to the venue’s performing-arts role alongside its convention and exhibition schedule.

Known for its riverfront setting, curved glass façade, and grand concourse overlooking the water, DeVos Place brings convention space and an acoustically refined theater together in one connected downtown destination.

How Much Do Tickets to DeVos Place Cost?

DeVos Place ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or production, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from symphony and classical performances to high-demand Broadway productions and national touring concerts.

For Broadway and touring productions, tickets are commonly priced at approximately $40–$150 or more depending on the show and seat location. Popular productions and prime orchestra seats can push prices higher.

For symphony, classical, opera, and ballet performances, tickets are generally in the approximately $20–$100 range. Balcony seating often provides a lower entry point, while center orchestra and front balcony seats are typically priced higher.

For concerts and comedy, tickets are often approximately $35–$125, varying by act. Demand, seat location, and the popularity of the performer can all affect the final price.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat selection and pricing for high-demand Broadway and concert dates. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.

Getting Ready for Your DeVos Place Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large downtown complex with performance, convention, ballroom, and meeting spaces under one roof.

• 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 large events, downtown parking ramps can fill near event start times. DeVos Performance Hall outside doors open 90 minutes before showtime, giving you time to park, enter, and find your seats.
• Wear the right footwear. DeVos Place is largely flat and indoors, but DeVos Performance Hall includes stairs between seating tiers, so comfortable shoes are helpful.
• Dress in layers. The venue is fully indoors, but a light layer is useful when walking between downtown parking and the entrance during Michigan’s colder months.
• Know your entrance. Your event listing and ticket identify whether you are headed to DeVos Performance Hall, a convention exhibit hall, the ballroom, or another event area, which helps you choose the smoothest route into the complex.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
