Get all of your questions about visiting the venue answered below.

• ADA Accessibility

  If you need accessible seating at any of our events, we highly encourage you to secure that in advance because space can fill up quickly!

  The best way to secure accessible seating is by purchasing an ADA seat online at www.TheMagnoliaSanDiego.Com or www.Ticketmaster.com. Look for the ADA icon on the ticket purchase screen. Up to one companion seat is allowed.

   

  If you’ve already purchased non-ADA tickets, you can inquire about ADA accommodations by:

  - Calling our venue: 619-494-5620

  - Emailing our venue: TheMagnolia@LiveNation.com

  Please contact us in advance to let us know what kind of accommodation you will need.  We don’t recommend waiting until the show day to contact us, but you can also speak with a staff member about ADA seating when you arrive and they will accommodate to the best of their ability if space is still available.

  ADA locations are subject to availability.
