Digital Tickets
As of January 1, 2025, all tickets to events at the Tennessee Theatre are digital and can be accessed through a mobile device. This is to improve security, reduce the risk of ticket fraud, and offer added convenience, such as resell, ticket transferring, and online exchanges. Printed tickets will no longer be issued or available at the Box Office. Step-by-step instructions, recommendations, and frequently asked questions are shared below.

NIGHT OF SHOW TIPS
Before arriving at the Theatre to attend the event, here are some tips to help expedite entry:
- Access your ticket(s) through your Account Manager at least 48 hours prior to the event.
- [OPTIONAL] Add ticket(s) to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
- Make sure your mobile phone is fully charged.
- If you need to access WiFi while waiting in line, connect to the WILLCALL network. No password is needed, and you can securely join that network to access your tickets.
- Have the ticket(s) displayed and ready to be scanned before entering the Theatre.
- It is recommended that patrons send each guest their own individual ticket IF the party is arriving separately.
- If there are multiple tickets on an account for the group, swipe left on the barcode after scanning to access the additional tickets.
- Reference the seat location on your ticket(s). If you do not know where your seat(s) are, ask one of our ushers, located at each entry way into the auditorium.
- Turn the screen brightness to its highest level for easier scanning.
Ticket Protection
- Below are some helpful hints to protect you and your tickets:
- Prevent ticket fraud by always covering the barcodes when sharing pictures of tickets on social media.
- The Tennessee Theatre highly recommends that customers purchase tickets directly through one of the following sources:
- Online: Visit ticketmaster.com to access online ticketing for all shows that are currently on sale through Ticketmaster. Additionally, each show listing on this website includes direct ticketing links.
- Tennessee Theatre Box Office: (865) 684-1200 x2. You may also visit us in person Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 3 PM. Our daytime ticket office is located at 224 Clinch Ave., on the side of the Theatre. On all performance days, the Gay Street Box Office will open one hour prior to the performance’s scheduled start time and will remain open through intermission unless otherwise stated.
- Tickets for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, Knoxville Opera, and select other events held at the Tennessee Theatre can be purchased with each individual organization via their phone number or website. Please note this information on the event page within our Calendar of Events.
- Purchasing tickets anywhere outside of these sources does not guarantee the customer that the tickets they have purchased are legitimate.
- Please be aware that tickets purchased from other resale marketplaces (including TicketsOnSale, StubHub, Vivid Seats, Craigslist, eBay and other ticket brokers) are not guaranteed as valid for entry into the venue.
NOTE: Patrons purchasing tickets from unauthorized sources assume the risk that tickets purchased are counterfeit or the barcodes have been invalidated. Any patron attempting to enter an event with counterfeit or invalid barcodes will be denied entry.
