FAQ

Does the Palladium have an ADA section?
The Palladium ADA section located on our lower level provides unobstructed views of the main stage. Patrons who will require accessible accommodations and one companion should purchase one “General Admission” ticket each for access to the ADA section. Please email us at info@thepalladium.net with any questions or to make advance arrangements.” More info here.

I have an E-Ticket, what does this mean?
This means your tickets have been paid for and the tickets have been sent in PDF form to your email address provided when ordering. You do not have to print your tickets, we are able to scan the QR code from your mobile device.

What is the difference between the Upstairs Room and the Main Room?
If the event is listed as being in the Upstairs room, this means the event is in our smaller room making it a more intimate experience.
If the event is listed as being in the Main room, this means that the event will be held on the big stage and more people.

What are the set times for a particular show and does the show start when doors open?
The set times for shows are determined on the day of the show several hours before doors open, so we will not know set times until then. Generally the first band will go on an hour after doors open for shows on the main stage, and a half hour after doors in the Upstairs.

Is there assigned seating?
This is an event by event basis. Please check the event ticket page you are interested in to see what options are available for our Main Room events or feel free to contact us via phone at 508-797-9696 or email at info@thepalladium.net . Our Upstairs room is standing room only.

Occasionally, our building is rented out by an outside promoter and they may decide to split the building into sections, charging more for the more desirable locations. If this is the case, the different ticket prices will be clearly listed on our event listings.

Where can I purchase tickets in advance?
Tickets can be purchased in advance at the box office or at SeeTickets.US. We do not recommend buying tickets via resale websites.
