Yes. Guests who require ADA access may use the elevator located inside Gino's East.

Question 3

Limited valet parking is available outside of Gino’s East. Please note that valet fees vary and are cash only. For convenience, we recommend arriving via rideshare, public transit, or by reserving a nearby parking spot in advance.

Question 4

What is the difference between General Admission and VIP tickets?

Accepted Answer

Purchasing VIP tickets guarantees a reserved seat closer to the stage (front two rows). If you purchased VIP tickets, we will hold your seats up until showtime. After that, your seats will be released to another guest. If you're running late, please call the box office so we can assist.

Question 5

Is there assigned seating?

Accepted Answer

Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis. Most tables seat up to 4 guests. If your group has fewer than four, you may be sharing a table with other guests. This applies to both General Admission and VIP tickets.

Question 6

What time do doors open?

Accepted Answer

Doors open at least 30 minutes before showtime. Seating is first come, first served. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early to get settled!

Question 7

Will my group be able to sit together?

Accepted Answer

Tickets purchased under multiple names are not guaranteed to sit together. If you're part of a large group that purchased tickets under multiple names, please call or email the box office PRIOR TO THE SHOW so that we may assist you in seating everyone together.

All shows are 17+ (21+ to drink). A valid ID is required at the door. Children under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No children under 13 are allowed in the venue.

Question 9

Is there a dress code?

Accepted Answer

No dress code (as long as you're wearing clothes, lol). Come as you are!

Question 10

Is there a drink minimum?

Accepted Answer

There is a 2-item minimum per guest. Each guest must purchase at least 2 items from our food/beverage menu during their visit. This is a widely recognized policy across the industry; guests who refuse may be asked to leave without a refund. Items purchased from Gino’s before the show do not count.

Do you charge gratuity?

Accepted Answer

An 18% auto-gratuity is added to all food and beverage purchases.

Question 12

Do you accept cash or credit?

Accepted Answer

Tickets can be purchased via credit/debit online or with cash at our box office. For table service, a credit/debit card is required to start your tab. If you do not have a credit card, we do accept cash, but will need to hold a valid ID on file until you close out.

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges will be issued. We have a strict no-call/no-show policy. Tickets will not be refunded for guests who fail to show up, regardless of circumstances. If you're running late or have an emergency, please give us a call and we will do our best to work with you.
