Please see our Full Ticketing Policy.

Yes, there is re-entry once you have entered the venue for a show, however, you must have your ticket, band and ID available to show security and/or the box office team for re-entry.

Some performances in our ticketed music venue will be phone-free. If the performance you have purchased a ticket for is phone-free, you will be asked to lock your cell phone in a Yondr pouch before entry. Your phone will remain with you during the performance in the locked pouch.  Following the performance, our team will be ready to assist with unlocking your pouch.  Rest assured that you and all other guests will maintain possession of your devices at all times and can access them throughout the event in designated Phone Use Areas within the venue.

If you need to leave at any time during the performance to use your phone, there will be a station on the 2nd floor where your phone can be unlocked. To ensure you don’t miss a minute of the show, it is highly recommended that you make all of your last-minute phone calls and texts prior to your arrival at building entry.

We don’t want to sound like a Broke Record, but video cameras, tripods, recording devices, and cameras with telephoto or zoom lenses are not permitted inside Chief’s at any time. This policy is strictly enforced.  Failure to comply with this policy may result in ejection from the building.  Don’t make that part of a Record Year!

Chief’s has a no refund, no exchange policy on tickets for all shows and events. We recommend that you don’t play Russian Roulette and obtain tickets from unauthorized sources, as they may be stolen or counterfeit, and if so, are void, and that would be Hell on the Heart!

Refunds will be available at the place of purchase if a show is canceled. If you purchased your tickets in person at one of our box offices, you’ll need to return your tickets to that box office to get your refund. If you purchased your tickets online through TixR, your tickets would be refunded automatically if a show is canceled.
