About The Palace Theatre - St. Paul

The Palace Theatre - St. Paul originally opened in 1916 as a vaudeville and movie theater, then sat dark for roughly three decades before being restored and reopened as a live music venue in December 2016. Owned by the City of Saint Paul and operated/booked by First Avenue Productions in partnership with Jam Productions, the venue holds approximately 2,500 guests depending on event configuration, with a general-admission floor and balcony seating at 17 W 7th Place in downtown Saint Paul.

The Palace is regarded as one of the premier mid-sized concert venues in the Twin Cities, with a reputation built on its restored early-20th-century character and close, high-energy room. Its calendar focuses primarily on concerts across rock, indie, alternative, hip-hop, electronic, and other genres, along with comedy shows, other live entertainment, and private or special events. Since reopening, it has hosted a wide range of touring acts, including performers such as PJ Harvey.

The venue’s renovation preserved much of its original interior in a distinctive “preserved decay” style, combining exposed plaster, ornate historic bones, and original detailing with modern sound and staging.

Driving and Parking: The Palace Theatre - St. Paul does not have a large dedicated on-site lot, so attendees typically use nearby downtown parking ramps and surface lots. Event parking commonly falls in the roughly $8–$15 range, and arriving early helps secure closer parking on busy show nights.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance fronts the 7th Place pedestrian mall in downtown Saint Paul. Guests enter at street level into the historic lobby before moving to the floor or balcony.

Seating Levels: The venue has two primary areas: a general-admission main floor in front of the stage and a balcony level with seated, elevated viewing above and behind the floor. For most concerts, the floor is standing-room general admission, so earlier arrival can help you get closer to the stage.

How Much Do Tickets to The Palace Theatre - St. Paul Cost?

The Palace Theatre - St. Paul 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 developing-act concerts to high-demand headliners.

For smaller, local, and developing-act concerts, tickets can start as low as roughly $25–$40, with pricing driven by artist demand and whether you choose general admission or balcony seating.

For mid-tier touring concerts, tickets typically fall around $40–$75. These shows can move quickly in a mid-sized room, especially when the artist has strong Twin Cities demand or the date falls on a popular night of the week.

For high-demand headliners, tickets can reach $85 or more. Marquee and sold-out dates are especially sensitive to demand, and the best remaining locations can rise as inventory tightens.

Buying earlier generally secures better availability and pricing. For popular shows at The Palace Theatre - St. Paul, waiting until inventory is limited can mean fewer seating choices and higher prices for the best remaining options.

• Best overall experience: The balcony front rows offer strong sightlines with a seated vantage over the whole room, balancing comfort, visibility, and atmosphere.

Getting Ready for Your The Palace Theatre - St. Paul Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for general-admission concerts in downtown Saint Paul.

• 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. Arrive early for GA shows to secure a spot near the stage and to allow time for downtown parking to fill on busy nights.
• Wear the right footwear. The main floor is standing general admission, so comfortable shoes are a smart choice for shows where you will be on your feet. There are also stairs to reach the balcony.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors, but plan for Minnesota weather on the walk from parking or transit, especially in winter.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Downtown parking can fill on busy nights, and earlier arrival gives you more time to park, walk to the venue, pass through security, and settle in before the show.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
