To access a Tin Pan South show, you must have your digital ticket(s), either purchased prior to the show or purchased on-site for any shows that are not sold out.

If you have tickets to attend both shows that night at the same venue, be aware that after the first show, you will have to exit the venue and line back up to re-enter for the second show. No one is allowed to remain in the venue between shows as each venue needs to clear and reset the space.
