A valid ID is required for entry. ### What time do doors open? Doors will open 30 minutes before all shows. If you are attending a late show, you may arrive up to one hour before showtime and enjoy our patio bar before seating begins. ### What is your late policy? We kindly ask you to arrive on time to the show, as we strive to minimize disruptions. We allow a 10 minute grace period.

However, we have amazing food and drinks, some come hungry and thirsty, and ready to have a good time! ### Where do I purchase tickets?

We recommend purchasing ahead of time online, as there will be an additional $5 fee at the door (if the show is not sold out). Please note that tickets are non-transferable. Tickets purchased from reseller sites will not be accepted. ### Do you take reservations? Typically, no. If you have a large party, we will do our best to seat you together, however, all members of your party must be present at check in. Keep in mind seating is assigned on a first come, first served basis. ‍ Exceptions: - If you have a party of 16 or more guests, you may email help@creekandcave.com to request a reserved section. - If you or someone in your party needs a more accessible seat, please email us and we will reserve an aisle seat for you. ### Do you sell gift cards?
