How does Will Call ticketing work?

Will Call tickets are no longer available. All tickets can be printed at home through our online ticketing service, or purchased in person at the RME Boxoffice.

What does it mean to have a "General Admission" ticket?

All shows at the Redstone Room are General Admission unless noted otherwise. General Admission (GA) seating means that any seating other than reserved is available on a first come basis. GA tickets do not guarantee seating. Please note that purchasing a ticket does not guarantee a seat.

Are there places to sit at The Redstone Room?

The number of seats available depends completely on the nature of the event. If it is important that you have a seat, please ask what the seating configuration is at time of purchase. Depending on the event there may be as many as 250 seats or as little as none. The main floor is more often than not set up in a cabaret style which is all general admission - tables, rails, chairs and stools are available on a first come basis. Some events will have very limited seating. Again, if seating is important to you, it is best to ask about the specific event when you purchase tickets.

What time should I arrive to get a good place to see the show?

Due to the historic nature of the Redstone Room, there are architectural columns in the space. Although most everyone inside the venue can easily see the stage, the earlier you get there the better the seat. For a sold out show, it is not uncommon for lines to form outside early in the day. Other times, you could arrive at show time and still find a preferred spot. It is really up to each person attending the event and their personal preference.

What should I do if I have special needs?

Please contact the River Music Experience for Redstone Room tickets at (563.326.1333 x114) prior to the day of the event if you need to make special arrangements (disabled seating, etc.). Please give us as much advance notice as possible so we have time to respond to your request.

What does "Sold Out" mean?

When a show is sold out, it means there are no longer tickets available. So if you haven't already purchased tickets, you will not be able to attend the sold out show. We do not usually hold back tickets for release at the last minute; however, in the event that not every ticket holder shows, we will allow additional people to enter.

What happens if I don't have my ticket with me when I arrive for the show?

Everyone must have a valid ticket in order to enter Redstone Room for paid events. If your ticket was purchased on-line, and you are the person who purchased the ticket, there is a chance that we can find it in the system. Please proceed to The front desk for assistance. If you bought tickets at the box office, you will need to purchase another ticket, but please be aware that if the event is sold out you will not be able to purchase additional tickets.

What is the smoking policy?

Smoking inside The Redstone Room is not allowed at any event. If you are ticketed, and would like to smoke outside, you will be allowed to leave the building and re-enter.

Are credit and debit cards accepted at the bar? How about at the merchandise booth?

Credit and debit cards are accepted at the bar in The Redstone Room. Band merchandise booths usually accept cash only.

Is food available in The Redstone Room?

We have snacks available such as chips. We may expand our food selection in the future, but for now, eat at Mojo's, or any other of our great downtown restaurants before you come!

What is the Redstone Room's policy on minors?

Unless the show is designated ALL AGES, you must be at least 19 years of age to enter the Redstone Room or be accompanied by a parent. ALL AGES shows are non-alchoholic.
