You have questions & we have answers.
Tickets & Reservations
To purchase online, visit punchlinesac.com, ticketmaster.com, or livenation.com. To purchase tickets in person, visit the Punch Line Sacramento box office.
Please contact our box office at punchlinesactoboxoffice@livenation.com for inquiries.
Yes! Please click here for more information.
Our venue is 18+ (unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian). A valid ID is required to attend any age restricted events and to consume alcohol. Accepted forms of identification include state-issued ID or Driver’s License, valid non-expired US Government or Military ID, or an official passport.
Punch Line Sacramento has a very strict underage drinking policy that follows state law, and if you do not have an acceptable ID that states your age at 21 or older, you will be considered the same as a minor and will not be able to purchase, consume or possess alcohol in the venue. Violators will be removed from the building without warnings and will not be eligible for a refund.
Our shows are General Admission seating and therefore first-come first-served.
However, we offer Preferred Seating for most shows for an additional fee, also first-come first-served within each section.
Available options are located on our Ticketmaster ticketing site
Seating is first come, first served. While we can’t guarantee that groups will be seated together, arriving at least 45 minutes before showtime and entering the showroom as a complete group gives you the best chance of sitting together.
Groups who purchase tickets in a single transaction are more likely to be seated together. Tickets purchased separately cannot be guaranteed adjacent seating.
Please note that we only seat complete parties at the same time. All guests in your group must enter the showroom together to be seated together. Seating requests and specific seat locations cannot be accommodated or guaranteed.
Sometimes our shows do sell out in advance, so we always recommend purchasing tickets early when possible. That said, there are still a few things you can try!
Occasionally, additional tickets are released the day before or even the day of the show, so we recommend checking back and refreshing the ticket link closer to showtime, just in case.
If you’re feeling lucky, you’re also welcome to come to the venue early and wait in our standby line. In some cases, tickets are released shortly before showtime, and standby guests may have the opportunity to purchase tickets at the door.
While availability can’t be guaranteed, we’ll always do our best to get you into the show!
Return to the place of purchase to see what the return policy is. If you purchased them by visiting our box office, our policy is that the tickets are NON-refundable NON-exchangeable.
Tickets for cancelled shows can be refunded at the point of purchase. If you purchased tickets online through punchlinesac.com, livenation.com or ticketmaster.com, your refund will automatically be processed in 3-5 business days.
