Know Before You Go
Join us for our third and final Pops III: Broadway a la Carte II at the Abilene Convention Center! This concert marks the end of the 2022-23 season!
There are several items that we’d like you to know in advance of Saturday’s performance:
PARKING
The main parking lot at the convention center is located on the North side of the building and is free to park. Handicapped parking is limited so we recommend getting there early. Vehicle access on North 6th Street is blocked due to construction, so we recommend parking in the main parking lot.
ENTERING
There are four entrances to the theater, two on the north side and two on the south side of the Convention Center. Each will have a Belle or Beau scanning tickets as you enter
WILL CALL
If you have pre-purchased tickets, you may pick up your tickets at the Box Office located in the foyer of the Convention Center. The Box Office will open at 5:30 PM for the 7:30 PM performance.
E-TICKETS
When purchasing tickets online and selecting the eticket delivery method you will receive one email. This email will contain the order confirmation and the PDFs will be attached at the bottom of the email. If you do not receive this email, please check your spam folder. You can also CLICK HERE and scroll down just after the seating chart and click “Click here to resend tickets” to input the email you used to initially place the order.
Please contact our Box Office with any questions or if you need assistance with your e-tickets.
WALKUPS
Walk up tickets will be available for purchase in the foyer. Please note that the Box Office will close 30 minutes after the start of the concert.
CONCERT TIME
The performance will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes with a 15 minute intermission. Please try to arrive at least thirty minutes before the concert start time of 7:30 PM.
This leaves time for parking, picking up tickets, getting your ticket scanned, visiting the restroom and finding your seat. If you arrive late you will be seated as soon as there is an appropriate pause in the performance.
ATTIRE
There are as many ways of dressing as there are people who come to concerts. Most aim for business casual or dressier, but ultimately the symphony is for everyone, wear what makes you comfortable.
STUDENT TICKETS
Student’s ages 6 through 18 can enjoy any Philharmonic concerts for only $5.00.
However, no children under the age of 6 will be allowed in the concert hall. No children on laps; everyone must have a seat.
Food & Beverages
There will be a cocktail hour hosted by KAO Lounge in the Lobby from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. There will be a DELICIOUS signature drink called “Anything Goes”. This drink is a fun take on the “Bees Knees” and “Gold Rush”. It’s a batch made cocktail with rosemary infused honey, lemon juice, and your choice of liquor! There will also be other beverages available for purchase before the concert and during intermission.
