About Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center

Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center opened in 2011 as a dedicated performing arts complex in Midland, Texas. The venue is owned by The University of Texas Permian Basin and has operated under professional venue management in partnership with the university. Its main concert hall seats approximately 1,800 guests, while a smaller recital hall accommodates a few hundred more for intimate performances, academic programming, and regional arts events.

The center serves the Midland–Odessa and broader Permian Basin region with a wide event mix that includes touring concerts, comedians, Broadway productions, symphony and classical performances, ballet and dance, lectures, and family or specialty shows. Regular users include the Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale, Permian Basin Opera, regional performing arts organizations, and UTPB academic programs. The venue also hosts the Broadway in the Basin touring series and specialty productions such as Video Games Live.

Its modern design, open West Texas setting, and concert-hall acoustics help make Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center a central arts venue for audiences who would otherwise travel much farther to reach large touring productions and national performers.

Location & Transportation

Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center is located at 1310 N. FM1788, Midland, TX 79707 — on the UTPB campus between Midland and Odessa in a car-oriented part of West Texas.

Driving and Parking: The venue sits along N. FM 1788 and has ample on-site surface parking. Because the surrounding campus setting is open and spacious, parking is straightforward for most events, though lots can fill ahead of popular concerts, Broadway performances, and major touring acts.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in the Midland–Odessa area. Since the venue sits between the two cities, arranging a return ride in advance is a smart move, especially after evening events when post-show rideshare availability can be more limited.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are concentrated in both Midland and Odessa, with lodging clusters near Interstate 20 and each city center. Staying in either city generally means a short drive to the performing arts center.

Venue Navigation

Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center has a straightforward performing arts layout anchored by a main lobby, a primary concert hall, and a smaller recital hall. Knowing whether your seats are on the orchestra level or balcony level can help you move quickly once you arrive.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance leads into the lobby serving the primary concert hall. The smaller recital hall has separate access within the complex, and staff can direct guests to the correct hall after entry.

Seating Levels: The main hall is arranged in a traditional theater configuration, with an orchestra or main floor level and an upper balcony tier. This setup keeps navigation simple while still offering different sightline and price options.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available consistent with a modern purpose-built performing arts facility.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage guide guests from the main lobby to orchestra and balcony seating. Checking whether your ticket says orchestra or balcony before you enter the hall can make the seating process faster.

Dining Options

Inside Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center

Concessions and a bar are typically available during events in the lobby area. For busier performances, planning time before showtime can help you avoid the heaviest lobby lines.

Outside the Venue — Midland and Odessa

Dining options are found in both Midland and Odessa, a short drive from the venue. Because Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center is located between the two cities, restaurants are not immediately adjacent, so building dinner or post-show plans around a drive in either direction is the most practical approach.

Security & Policies

Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bags may be subject to inspection, and smaller bags are generally permitted. Bringing only what you need helps keep entry moving smoothly.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, and professional recording equipment are typically prohibited. Performer and event requirements can affect the final list of restricted items.

Entry Procedures: Guests should expect ticket scanning at entry and bag checks consistent with a performing arts venue. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded digital tickets can help speed the entry process.

How Much Do Tickets to Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center Cost?

Wagner Noel Performing 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 symphony and smaller shows to Broadway in the Basin productions and high-demand headliners.

For symphony, classical performances, and smaller shows, tickets can be approximately $25–$60, with balcony and rear sections often offering the most accessible pricing.

For touring concerts, comedians, and family or specialty shows such as Video Games Live, prices are commonly around $30–$75, depending on the performer, date, and seat location.

For Broadway in the Basin productions and high-demand headliners, tickets can run approximately $45–$125 or more. Center orchestra seats and other prime locations usually command higher prices, especially when demand builds for a popular touring production or national act.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection, particularly for Broadway series events and popular touring acts. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining seats can rise in price, especially in center orchestra and other preferred sections.

Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center Seating Guide

Best Seats at Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center

• Closest to the action: Front orchestra rows nearest the stage offer the most direct proximity to performers, comedians, musicians, and touring productions.
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra seats provide strong sightlines and acoustics for symphony, Broadway, and concert performances.
• Premium and suite options: Prime center-orchestra seating serves as the venue’s premium seating area, with desirable views and sound for many event types.

Getting Ready for Your Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a venue set between Midland and Odessa where most guests arrive by car.

• 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. Allow time for the drive to the between-cities location and to park; lots can fill ahead of popular events.
• Wear the right footwear. The facility is level and modern, with the main walk typically from parking to the entrance, so comfortable shoes are a good choice.
• Dress in layers. Parking and entry are outdoors in an exposed West Texas setting, so account for heat, wind, or cold while arriving.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Driving is the practical way to reach the venue, and leaving early helps with parking and lobby arrival on busy nights.
• Know your entrance. The single main entrance keeps arrival simple, and knowing whether your seats are in the orchestra or balcony helps once you are inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
