Getting Ready for Your Dudley Riggs Theatre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a downtown Minneapolis venue along Hennepin Avenue.

• 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. Arriving early is advisable for a downtown location where parking ramps and street parking fill ahead of popular shows; allow extra time on busy evenings along Hennepin Avenue.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Downtown Minneapolis can be busier around showtimes, especially near the Hennepin Avenue theater district, so give yourself room for parking, walking, or rideshare delays.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
