Delivery of Tickets
When purchasing tickets in-person at the Box Office, you will be given physical tickets.
If you purchase by phone or online, you will be given several delivery options. When time allows, tickets may be delivered via U.S.P.S. If you prefer, or if the performance date is near, your tickets will be held in Will Call for pickup at the Box Office the day of the show. See below for more information on Will Call ticketing.
Will Call
The Will Call window is located at the Gay Street Box Office (front entrance of the Theatre). Will Call generally opens one hour prior to the performance unless otherwise stated. In order to pick up tickets at Will Call, you will need to present a valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport) along with the credit card used to purchase the tickets. The Box Office staff will not release tickets if the name on the ID or credit card does not match the name given at the time of purchase. Because lines at the Box Office and Will Call window can be long, it is a good idea to arrive at the Box Office at least 45 minutes prior to the performance.

We believe the arts provide an open door for difficult conversations by exploring topics and themes that affect the human condition and social norms. We hope these subjects encourage thought and conversation to allow us to recognize and acknowledge these issues through awareness, empathy, understanding, and compassion. Unlike movies, live entertainment such as comedy or Broadway productions do not have a standard content rating system. Sometimes the content of a live event could be considered inappropriate or otherwise unsuitable for children under 18. In fact, some content can be challenging or offensive to people of any age. Many resources exist online to provide more information about shows and events, and this information may help you make your own decision as to whether you would enjoy the performance. As personal tastes vary widely, we strongly advise that you conduct your own research before you purchase tickets to any Tennessee Theatre event. All ticket sales are final.
While most of our shows are appropriate for all ages, we do have some concerts that have strict age requirements (18 and older). Please contact the Tennessee Theatre Box Office to ask if there are any age restrictions or adult nature to the performance that you want to attend. Most children over the age of 4 can enjoy a two-hour performance while remaining happy and quietly seated. However, you know your child’s nature the best. All attendees, regardless of age, are required to hold a ticket. This applies to children who may sit on a adult's lap for the majority or entirety of a performance. For questions, please contact the Box Office.
Yes. Please call the Tennessee Theatre Box Office at 865.684.1200 ext. 2 during regular business hours for accessible or special needs seating. For more information about special needs seating, please click here.
All seats are available online. Our ticketing provider is designed to sell tickets beginning with the most desirable location within the seating section that you select. You may also select specific seats for all reserved seating events via the interactive seat map. All seating is subject to availability.
The Will Call window is located at the Gay Street Box Office (front entrance of the Theatre). Will Call generally opens one hour prior to the performance unless otherwise noted. In order to pick up tickets at Will Call, you will need to present a valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport) along with the credit card used to purchase the tickets. The Box Office Staff will not release tickets if the name on the ID or credit card does not match the name given at the time of purchase. If you are purchasing tickets for someone else to pick up, please make sure to add their name to the order at the time of the purchase to ensure that there is no confusion when they arrive to pick up the tickets.
We suggest that you try to get there at least one half-hour before the performance. Arriving early will give you time to get to your seat, get a beverage or snack, and enjoy the overall ambiance of the beautiful Theatre. Traffic and parking can be unpredictable, so plan to arrive early.
Our Box Office is generally open through intermission. If the Box Office has already closed for the evening, Will Call tickets will be left with the ushers at the main door.
