How Much Do Tickets to Showare Center Cost?

Showare Center ticket prices vary significantly 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 Tacoma Stars indoor soccer to touring concerts and Thunderbirds hockey.

Seattle Thunderbirds hockey tickets are often in the approximately $20 to $60 range, with premium seats priced higher. Marquee matchups and playoff dates can drive stronger demand for the best lower-bowl and center-ice areas.

Tacoma Stars indoor soccer tickets are generally around $15 to $45, depending on seat location and demand. Lower sections closest to the floor typically cost more than upper-level or end/corner areas.

Concerts and touring shows at Showare Center can range from approximately $35 to $125 or more, depending on the act. Floor, lower-bowl, and premium areas usually draw the highest demand for popular performers.

Family shows commonly fall in the approximately $20 to $75 range, with pricing shaped by the show, seating section, and performance date.

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

Showare Center Seating Guide

Showare Center’s seating layout is built around a compact bowl that surrounds the ice or event floor, with lower-level sections, upper-level sections, suites, and club seating. The setup changes by event type, including hockey, indoor soccer, concerts, family shows, and occasional general admission floor configurations.

Best Seats at Showare Center

• Best value: Upper-level and corner or end sections are typically the most affordable areas, offering a full view of the ice, court, floor, or stage at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl sections closest to the glass or floor put fans nearest the event, making them strong choices for hockey, indoor soccer, and concerts.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level center sections along the sides offer balanced sightlines, proximity, and atmosphere. For hockey, lower sections near center ice are especially strong.
• Close views near the goal: Section 113 is noted for close views near the goal, making it a targeted option for fans who want to be near hockey action in that area of the bowl.
• Premium and suite options: Suites and club seating serve premium guests and groups with upgraded service and a more private event experience.
• For groups: Group packages are accommodated, and coordinating seats early helps when you need contiguous seating for popular Thunderbirds games, concerts, or family events.
• General admission: Some concerts and shows may use general admission floor configurations, giving fans a flexible standing-room experience closer to the stage.

Showare Center Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for Showare Center 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. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the stage or court, and whether you're in the lower level, the upper level, or a suite or club seat — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your Showare Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a compact indoor arena where parking and concourse traffic can build near event time.

• 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. Popular events can bring heavier parking demand, and nearby lots fill closer to event start. Give yourself extra time to park, enter, and reach your section.
• Wear the right footwear. Showare Center is a standard indoor arena with concourse-level entry and stairs within the bowl, so comfortable shoes are helpful for moving between seating, concessions, and exits.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors, but hockey and ice events can feel cool near the ice. Bringing a layer helps you stay comfortable throughout the event.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
