How Much Do Tickets to Mattie Kelly Arts Center Cost?

Mattie Kelly Arts Center ticket prices vary significantly 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 family stage shows to concerts, pops performances, and touring productions.

Family and smaller stage shows can start around $25, making them an accessible option for guests looking for children’s productions, community-friendly performances, or stage entertainment at a lower entry point.

Concerts, pops performances, and touring productions are typically mid-range, with pricing varying by act, production, demand, and seat location within the house. Seasonal programs and well-known touring acts can draw stronger demand, especially when the performance appeals to both college and community audiences.

Buying earlier generally offers better seat selection for popular and seasonal shows. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining seats can become harder to find, especially for holiday performances, family productions, and touring entertainment.

Getting Ready for Your Mattie Kelly Arts Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus-based venue where most guests arrive by car and the box office opens 90 minutes before showtime.

• 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. The box office opens 90 minutes before showtime, and early arrival allows time for campus parking and will-call pickup.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Because campus parking is the standard arrival method, give yourself enough time to park, walk in, and settle before the performance begins.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
