These ticket master owned venues are such garbage. Going through metal detectors like you’re boarding a plane. It’s so ridiculous. The parking situation is a joke. 14 bucks to park! Gimme a break. Anything to squeeze a buck from the working man. Get bent. It’s gonna have to be one hell of a show for me to return.

Can the Ritz provide seats for disabled folks who have a hard time standing?

Dalimaris Ruiz | May 30, 2022
Pappy Bourgoin | May 30, 2022

There is also a platform for wheelchairs on the lower level to enjoy the show. I'm sure they could accommodate them in this area if the stairs are an issue.

Why is ticketmaster reporting that Black Label Society has postponed their show at the Ritz in Raleigh, NC on May 10,2022

Wayne Sweat | May 30, 2022
Ryan Thomas | May 30, 2022

Probably because the show is postponed. After a quick Google search I see that they canceled their show last night too, due to Zakk Wylde losing his voice.

Talk to the management about getting some seats or just order VIP you get a better view but you have to take the stairs.

How is parking

David Coffman | Sep 28, 2019
Control The Crazy | Sep 28, 2019

They had three separate parking areas when we went. They were kind of like many Lots. It was $7 for each one, two of them were cash only and one of them was cash or card. All three of them we're right near the Ritz as in two right beside it, and one directly across from it. So I say excellent parking.

Reagan Stephenson | Sep 28, 2018
Jason Addison | Sep 28, 2018

It often depends more on the act than the venue. You'd have to call for each individual one. However, I've usually found that if your parent is taking you, something can be worked out or it's usually okay.

If you buy tickets there are you still charged the service fee? Cause I was going to get them today but there’s a 10$ service fee for each person and I didn’t realize it would cost more the day of.

Lucia Perez | Sep 28, 2018
Thomas Palczuk | Sep 28, 2018

I always get my tickets online ahead of time, but if you're getting them the day of, then yeah, they hike up the fee. In my experience, tickets are cheapest when they're first announced and available to buy. The box office service fee is usually $2.25 per ticket for shows with a face value less than $20, and $5.50 per ticket for shows with a face value of $20.01 and above.
