I bought VIP for the upcoming Set It Off show and I was wondering if I could use my school ID as my ID? I don't have a license or a permit yet.

Emily Roberts | Oct 10, 2019
Krystle Suszter | Oct 10, 2019

They won't let you use your school ID for alcohol, but that *should* be sufficient to do will call for your tickets (assuming it's a picture ID)

So for Ashley McBryde on the 27th if my husband can’t stand through her whole show due to having a weak right side from a 🧠 brain tumor will he be able to sit anywhere if he gets tired....

Tracey Blair | Oct 10, 2018

This show moved to Marathon Music Works. They should be able to accommodate you.

Are there seats? I’m on a cane from knee surgery but would love to see her there. And is there any meet & greet price or anything? Only general admission too? Thanks.

Brenda Morrow | Oct 10, 2018
Joseph Rini | Oct 10, 2018

Just general admission. There usually seats depending on crowd size, but if you need assistance the staff will get you a seat!

do you have to be 21 to get in? My best friend is 19 and an avid Dio fan and we would be travelling 400 miles to see the band.

Nah, you don't have to be 21.

I have e-tickets to the Black Pistol Fire show tonight and I want to be able to get a physical ticket (I collect them). Is there a way to get one from the box office once I have entered the show? Thanks Tim

Tim Beale | Aug 10, 2022
Eric Brewer | Aug 10, 2022

Yes. You might be able to obtain that by asking at the box office prior to the show. It's definitely worth a shot. The staff is friendly and courteous. You might actually call before the show to inquire as well.

How do you tell if an event is for all ages? If it is for all ages, then can I (18) take my 17 sister to and all age show or does a parent have to come with us? I have already tried calling the place a few time, but the phone was never answer.

Crazy Psychosis | Aug 10, 2022
Adriana Echeverri | Aug 10, 2022

If it is all ages than yes you and your sister would be able to attend without parents. They do serve alcohol but it is an event and concert space and not like a traditional bar.

Can you go in and out of Venue? Can you bring own chairs?

Chad Bierschbach | Jun 11, 2022
Melissa Landrum | Jun 11, 2022

You can go in and out. I doubt they will let you bring chairs inside. That could become a safety hazard. The parking lot is right there if you wanted to set up chairs by your car and tailgate pre-show that would probably be fine. It's paid parking through Metropolis, I believe. Call the box office if you need to sit for an accessibility reason. You might be able to work something out with them.

Can a minor go to a show that is 18+ if they are accompanied by a parent?

Stephanie Campbell | Jun 11, 2022
Corey | Jun 11, 2022

I'm inclined to say 18+ means 18+, accompanied by a parent or not, but that's probably a question that will have to answered by someone associated with the venue.

What time do concerts end, that start at 8pm?

Almae | Oct 9, 2021

Where is the closest hotel

Douglas Gray | Oct 9, 2020
Holly Owen | Oct 9, 2020

Honestly, as a local, if you stay within 5 miles-ish you should be alright. Our police are a little more focused on keeping trouble where visitors and tourists don't have to worry so much. My rule of thumb is to never stay some where with a color or number, but I also have to retract that statement because I came to Atlanta for a show and the Motel 6 downtown is pretty good for the price. Just do your research. Uber isn't too expensive in Nashville either, unless you're visiting on a weekend or if a HUGE event going on. Music scene is great though. Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!

Cheyenne Barrett | Oct 9, 2020
Voltaire Vinci | Oct 9, 2020

No. They turn you back unless it's a correct Federal license.

If I'm 18 and the show is 21+, could I just bring an adult?

Charla C Brown | Oct 9, 2020
Emmaleigh Hoard | Oct 9, 2020

I think you should be able to get in with an adult as long as you don't try to buy alcohol. Make sure you bring ID with you

There are a few places within sight that are free, but they fill up quickly, the bank across the street is one of them, just don't block the ATM access.

David, I would love to help you, but I'm not really sure how I received this request. I have been to Basement East twice in 5 years... both to see Hayes Carll. It's a great venue, but I suggest you contact them directly. Regardless, I hope you have a great evening!
