Ticketing

Advance Tickets

You may buy tickets in advance to our shows in one of three ways:

Online

You may reserve and pay for advance tickets online via any credit card. Click on any available Buy Ticket link, and you'll be directed to our new outside ticket vendor, Simpletix, for processing.

Simpletix provides an online shopping cart, so you can purchase tickets for as many shows as you wisn in a single transaction. At Simpletix, you'll also find special passes for reserving entire tables for your party.

After choosing your tickets, simply enter your credit card information as requested. With the new SimpleTix process, it's no different than purchasing items at any online storefront.

Unless otherwise noted, advance tickets are available for all shows beginning at midnight exactly 58 days in advance of the show date. They remain onsale until 2:00pm on the day of the show.

We do not accept credit cards for purchases at the door.

Mail-in

Send a check made out to Uncle Calvin’s Coffeehouse, 9555 North Central Expressway, Dallas TX 75231. Please include a note telling us which concert the order is for, and include your email address OR mailing address with the order.

We must receive your order in our mailbox by the night of the show.

In Person

Come by Uncle Calvin’s on Friday night (when we are open) between 7:30 and 11:00 pm and purchase tickets for upcoming shows at the product table. We'll give you a hand-written receipt, followed later by a confirming email.

We do not accept credit cards for purchases at the show.

In addition to full price adult tickets (the advertised price), we also offer 25% discounts to seniors (age 65 and over) and young adults (ages 18-25), as well as a 50% discount to youth (ages 2-17) and students of any age (with a valid, current student id).

Tickets At the Door

Remaining tickets for each show (if not an advance sell-out) go on sale at the door the night of the show (usually when doors open at 7:30pm, but for larger shows, we'll start processing ticketholders 15-30 minutes earlier than that). The cost of door tickets is almost always a few dollars more than for advance tickets (to encourage you to buy them in advance).

If a show is nearing a sell-out, then there may be no door tickets available. Check the website before you leave, and we'll usually post something if they may not be available.

At the present time, we do not accept credit cards for ticket purchases at the door. Cash or check only.

Special Entry

Table Reservations

For each show, we have a limited number of tables available for reservation by groups, families, etc. By reserving a table, you can insure that your group sits together without worrying about getting there early, or purchasing tickets early.

To reserve a table, you must purchase tickets for all the seats at that table. Our tables seat either six or eight, so you must purchase either six or eight tickets. All tickets must be purchased in the name of one person in the party.

When you purchase tickets on the website, you'll use a special ticketing option which includes a table, as long as your purchase a multiple of six or eight tickets, and a maximum of 16. Only thirty tickets (and four tables) are available for reservation at each show.

Discounted tickets for seniors, young adults, youth, and students are NOT available for table reservation purchases.

You cannot ask for a refund on a table (or any of the seats at a table) without forfeiting your table reservation. The only exception is if you have a table for eight and you with to downsize to a table for six. In that case we will refund the cost of two tickets.

Only a limited number of tables are available each week, so buy them early. The website will enforce those limits, so you won't be able to exceed them. Also, once a show reaches 80% of a sellout, table reservatons are suspended.

Early Entry

For each show, those of you who purchase the first thirty tickets are also given first opportuninty to select the early entry" add-on passes with your tickets. This gives you early-entry privileges into the room to select and reserve your seats before other ticketholders. You must arrive before doors open at 7:30pm to take advantage of this opportunity.

If you are among the first thirty purchasers, you'll be getting an email from us informing you of this at some point before the show.

Refunds

Online purchases will be refunded online back to the same credit card or Paypal account. Tickets purchased by check or cash will be refunded by mailing a refund check for the same amount. Advance tickets purchased via credit card at a show will also be refunded by check; please include your mailing address in the refund request.

If you cannot attend a show due to illness or other emergency, we will still refund your money even if you can't let us know by 2pm on show day, but please notify us as soon as possible.
