Parking is available at all venues where the TSO performs.
Tucson Convention Center parking lot C is the closest to The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall (entrance on Granada Ave.) and parking lot A (entrance on Church Ave.) is the next closest. TCC lots usually charge $10 per car and can fill up quickly, especially if there are events at other TCC venues at the same time. Other nearby parking include the La Placita parking garage (entrance on Jackson St.) or the State of Arizona parking garage (entrance on Alameda). Other parking lots are within walking distance of The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, and some are available free of charge.
It may be worth considering parking along the route of the Sunlink Streetcar (at the Mercado District, along Fourth Ave., or near the University) and riding to the Church Ave. stop.
Passenger drop-off is located on the northwest side of The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall (entrance from Granada using Calle Carlos Arruza).
Park Tucson, the City of Tucson’s Parking Manager, has valuable information about other events that may affect parking:
Parking is available at no cost for all performances taking place at the Catalina Foothills High School.
- Concert Courtesies: Please remember to turn off all cell phones and other electronic devices. If you need to be contacted during a performance, please inform the TSO House Manager.
- Concert Dress: Wear what makes you feel comfortable.
- Applause: In a multi-movement work, it is customary to wait until the end of the last movement to applaud, to not break the concentration of the performers or distract other concert-goers. When in doubt, follow the lead of the audience members around you.
- Emergencies: If you must be notified of an emergency during a concert, please notify the house manager. For concerts at Tucson Convention Center venues, leave your seat location (as it appears on your ticket) and the TCC telephone number, (520) 791-4101, at your home or office. An usher will contact you if you receive an emergency message.
- Late Arrival: Latecomers will be seated by the TSO ushers following the completion of the first work on the program or at another predetermined interval. No seating is allowed while the TSO is performing on stage.
- Prohibited Items: The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall and Leo Rich Theatre are controlled by the security and building policies of the Tucson Convention Center. TCC venues have a clear bag policy. The largest non-clear bag allowed is a 8″ × 5″ clutch. All other bags must be clear, no larger than 14″ × 16″. Bags with backpack straps are not permitted. Bags used to transport medical and childcare equipment are allowed exceptions to this rule. All bags are subject to search prior to entry. Outside food and beverages are not permitted.
Connectivity may be intermittent at our venues; we encourage you to view your tickets on your phone and add them to your phone’s wallet before heading to the venue.
Tickets previously added to your phone’s wallet are available even when your phone has lost a data connection.
If your battery dies just before you arrive for a performance, visit the box office for assistance.
Since space in assembly areas is limited, try to limit the belongings you bring with you to the most necessary items.
If you bring electronic devices that make noise, set them to silent or turn them off during the performance. (And if you turn the sounds back on during intermission, remember to change them back for the second half!)

Having problems adding to your wallet?

- iPhone users: note that web browsers other than Safari may not support the “Add to Apple Wallet” button. Consider trying the Safari browser if the ticket does not add to your wallet.
The tickets that save to your wallet may save using NFC (near field communication) technology, instead of a visible barcode. To scan a ticket without a visible barcode, just hold your phone near the usher’s ticket scanner:
A subscription is a discounted package of all the concerts in a series. Subscribers value the best seats and fabulous customer service at the deepest discount. Some flexible subscription packages are also available.
Classic series concerts at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall feature the full orchestra, prominent guest artists, and sometimes the TSO Chorus. Complimentary “Concert Comments” with the conductor and guest artist take place one hour before the performance and give insight into what you’re about to hear.
Dynamic entertainers from jazz, pop, and more play a variety of music with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra in the SuperPops series. You’ll come out of the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall singing, and you’ll want to see them all!
Our Masterworks series brings you vibrant performances in an intimate setting. Our Masterworks concerts are presented at Catalina Foothills High School. The venue features plenty of free parking and is conveniently located for our Foothills and Oro Valley patrons. Complimentary “Concert Comments” with the conductor and guest artist take place one hour before the performance and give insight into what you’re about to hear.
The TSO Up Close series at Tucson Symphony Center brings you closer to our musicians. Hear smaller and more unusual groups of instruments and experience something delightful, and perhaps unexpected or unusual.
If you have a reliable data connection, you can certainly view your tickets without needing to use a wallet app on your phone.
Wallet apps, such as Apple Wallet and Google Pay, can be used for tickets even if you do not use those apps for contactless payment services. Since they do not require an active data connection to display the tickets, we recommend using them. They will also provide notifications before event times which makes displaying the tickets easy to use.
Screenshots of tickets are not valid, since the displayed barcode changes periodically as part of the ticket encryption technology.

If I have more than one ticket for a concert, do I have to present all the tickets at the same time?
All active electronic tickets for a performance associated with your TSO account will be displayed and available to be scanned for entry. All patrons should enter at the same time using the tickets displayed via your TSO account or saved to your phone’s wallet. If members of your party are arriving separately, just transfer the tickets they will be using to them in advance.
If your screen brightness is too low, the barcode may have difficulty being scanned. Increase the brightness of your display to improve scanning. Copies of barcodes, screenshots or print outs will not be accepted.
If you add your tickets to your phone’s wallet, it may use near-field communication (NFC) technology instead of an on-screen barcode, eliminating the need to worry about your screen’s brightness—just hold your phone next to the usher’s scanner.
Sometimes the price you pay exceeds the face price of your ticket.
Tickets for concerts at Tucson Convention Center venues are subject to a $1–2 facility user fee, in compliance with City of Tucson Ordinances Nos. 8559 and 10688. This facility user fee is unavoidable.
Tickets purchased online or by phone are subject to service and order processing charges that vary based on the type and price of ticket purchased. Subscription packages generally have the lowest service charges and individual events have the largest service charges, but a portion of the service fees will scale based on price. These charges offset the costs of ticketing software, credit card processing, ticket handling, shipping, and support.
If you buy tickets offered from a reseller, the reseller will set the price and may retain some or all of the service charges. We recommend only buying authorized resale tickets available through Ticketmaster.com, since we cannot verify tickets purchased from other resellers.
In-person purchases at the box office will waive all service charges except the portion toward credit card processing. In-person purchases paid by cash or check will have all service charges discounted to zero.
Ticket prices are always subject to change due to demand. Tickets purchased at the venue just before a performance begins are usually higher priced than tickets purchased in advance.
If your tickets are being held at will call, they will be available at the box office window or desk beginning 90 minutes prior to your performance. Ask for the tickets being held under the name you requested. If you would like to pick up a larger quantity of tickets, visit the box office during office hours and request to pick up any tickets waiting for future performances.
If you are logged into your account and still do not see your tickets, please go to the box office or contact us at tso@tucsonsymphony.org or (520) 882-8585.

All children under the age of 18 are eligible to receive a 50% discount on ticket prices. Child tickets can be purchased online, over the phone, or in person. Some events and seating areas are not available for discounts.
The TSO offers wheelchair access to every event. Ushers will assist with directions and any accommodations. When purchasing your tickets online, apply the accessibility slider to view available accessible seating. When buying in person or over the phone, request wheelchair-accessible seating and adjacent seating for your companions. Companion seating may be removeable seats (upholstered similarly to the permanent seats) or may be in the permanent seats nearest the wheelchair spaces. Please note that wheelchairs are not provided at the venues.
For general admission venues without permanent seating, ask an usher to remove chairs from the area where you would like to sit to make space for wheelchair seating.
Some aisle seats with moveable armrests are designated as suitable for persons with limited mobility.
Anyone using a walker should speak with an usher to find a suitable place to stow the walker during the performance that will not create a safety hazard or block egress for other patrons. If you use a walker that can be used as a seat during a performance, consider purchasing a wheelchair-accessible seat location.
The entrance to the balcony on the third floor of The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall is between rows G and H. All balcony seats require stairs (2 steps down to row G, 6 steps up to row H, and 2 more steps per row in either direction). Handrails along all staircases were installed during the 2021 renovation. The wheelchair-accessible seats in the balcony are only accessible by elevator, and the approach into the balcony is a ramp somewhat more steep than would be permitted in contemporary building construction.
At Catalina Foothills High School, all the seats in the Tiered Orchestra and Loge sections require stairs (3 steps per row starting with row R; the Loge is 21 steps up and a short walk to the loges themselves). Handrails are available along all staircases.
Parking for vehicles with disabled parking permits is available at all venues on a first-come, first-served basis. For performances at The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, Parking Lot C (enter from Granada Avenue) has many disabled parking spaces both inside the garage and in the surface lot.
