Bowery Boston FAQs
Where is Royale located?

How can I get tickets to a Royale show?
You can purchase tickets online by clicking the “tickets” icon on any show page on our site or over the phone by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000. Tickets are also sold in person at the no fee box office located within Royale on Fridays, noon – 6pm or any night there is a concert. If tickets do not sell out in advance, they will be sold at the door on the night of the show beginning when doors open. Cash only.
How can I get tickets to Bowery Boston shows that are not at Royale?
For other venues like the Wang Theatre, Orpheum Theatre and Colonial Theatre, each individual venue maintains its own ticketing and box office hours. Tickets are not necessarily sold through Ticketmaster or at the Royale box office. Please check our website to see where tickets are available or feel free to email info@boweryboston.com if you have further questions about ticket availability.
If a show is cancelled, where do I get a refund?
If a show is cancelled, refunds are available at point of purchase. You will be refunded automatically if you purchased a ticket through Ticketmaster. Please note openers are always subject to change.
What are my payment options in the venue?
The box office is CASH ONLY. The bars located within the venue take cash and credit cards. There are many banks and ATMs nearby.
How old do I have to be to get into Royale?
Age minimums vary from show to show. You must present a government issued I.D. if you are 21+ and plan on drinking alcohol. Security is present at every show to verify your age.

Photo policy varies for different artists and is usually not determined until day of show. You can bring a non-professional camera to most shows and inquire about the photo policy at the door or call 617-338-7699 x211 on the day of show.
Do you have a Coat Check?
Yes, it’s located upstairs. Check it out.
Can I smoke at Royale?
No. No. No. Did we say no? Because we meant NO. Per Massachusetts state law, there is a strict no-smoking policy inside Royale. If you need to go out for a smoke break make sure you get a stamp from one of the employees in the lobby before exiting the building.

No re-entry.

Can I book my band at Royale?
The vast majority of the acts that play here select their own support acts and bring them on tour with them. We rarely have the opportunity to add other bands to the bill. But feel free to email info@boweryboston.com with information about your band (links to music, press clips, where else they’ve played in Boston, etc) because you never know!
