Third Day Final Leg 2027: Every 30th Anniversary Tour Date

Third Day Final Leg 2027: Every 30th Anniversary Tour Date

Third Day is closing out its 30th Anniversary Tour in spring 2027, and the band is billing this final leg as the last chance to see original members Mac Powell, Mark Lee, David Carr and Tai Anderson on stage together. The run opens on Thursday, April 1, 2027 in Clarksville, Tennessee and ends on Sunday, May 9 in Beaumont, Texas: 24 shows, with Zach Williams as the special guest and Scout and the Saints opening every night. Here is every date, how the weeks are grouped and how to pick a seat.

Third Day 2027 dates at a glance

April 2027

May 2027

All 24 shows are listed with a 7:00 PM start except Springfield, Massachusetts on Saturday, April 17, which starts at 7:30 PM. Check the time on your listing before you plan dinner or travel.

Still in 2026: the November shows with TobyMac and Chris Tomlin

Before the final leg, Third Day shares a 12-night arena bill with TobyMac and Chris Tomlin from Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri on Thursday, November 5 to Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock on Sunday, November 22. The three acts rotate who closes each night. Every one of those dates, with seat maps and all-in prices, is on our Third Day tickets page.

How the final leg is grouped

The tour moves in Thursday-to-Sunday blocks, so each region gets three or four nights in a row:

  • Opening weekend, April 1–4: Clarksville, Corbin, Fort Wayne and Saginaw.
  • The Southeast, April 8–11: Savannah, Tampa, West Palm Beach and Tallahassee on Sunday, April 11.
  • The East, April 15–18: Charleston, West Virginia, Pittsburgh on Friday, April 16, Springfield, Massachusetts and Richmond.
  • Texas to the Rockies, April 22–25: Waco, Wichita, Colorado Springs on Saturday, April 24 and Rio Rancho near Albuquerque.
  • The Northwest, April 29–May 2: Missoula, Spokane, Kennewick and Nampa near Boise.
  • The last weekend, May 6–9: Cape Girardeau, Springfield, Missouri, Brandon near Jackson and Beaumont on Sunday, May 9.

If your closest date has few seats left or is priced high, the next night in the same block is usually a few hours’ drive away.

Is this the last time to see Third Day?

The band and its promoter describe these 24 dates as the final leg of the 30th Anniversary Tour and the last opportunity to see the four original members together. The first leg sold out more than half its dates, including a night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which is why this leg was added. No dates after Sunday, May 9, 2027 have been announced, so if you have been waiting for a show near you, this is the run to look at.

Picking a seat

Most stops on the final leg are mid-size arenas and college venues, where even the back of the lower bowl is fairly close to the stage. Side sections a few rows up look over the floor crowd, while floor seats are closest but flat. Two nights are outdoors: iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on Saturday, April 10 and Brandon Amphitheater in Mississippi on Saturday, May 8, so bring a layer and check the weather. Thursday shows, such as Clarksville and Waco, are often easier on the budget than Friday and Saturday nights.

MercyMe LIVE Spring 2027: Every Date, Lineup and Seat Tips

MercyMe LIVE Spring 2027: Every Date, Lineup and Seat Tips

MercyMe is heading back out in spring 2027 with MercyMe LIVE, joined by special guests Ben Fuller and Peter Burton. The tour opens on Thursday, March 11, 2027 in Roanoke, Virginia and closes on Sunday, May 2 in Evansville, Indiana: 31 shows, almost all of them Thursday-through-Sunday runs. Here is every date on sale, which nights are billed differently, and how to pick a show and a seat.

MercyMe LIVE Spring 2027 dates at a glance

March 2027

April and May 2027

The remaining fall 2026 dates with Jeremy Camp, Tim Timmons and Sam Wesley, which run through Target Center in Minneapolis on Sunday, November 15, are on our MercyMe tickets page with seat maps and all-in prices for every night.

Who is on the bill each night

Most spring dates are listed as MercyMe, Ben Fuller and Peter Burton. Three are different on our listings. Norfolk on Friday, April 2 and Grand Prairie on Thursday, April 15 are listed as MercyMe alone. Tallahassee on Friday, March 26 keeps the fall lineup of Jeremy Camp, Tim Timmons and Sam Wesley. If seeing one of the guests matters to you, check the event name on the listing before you buy.

The Tallahassee makeup date

The Donald L. Tucker Civic Center show was originally part of the fall 2026 tour and was moved to Friday, March 26, 2027, which is why it carries the fall lineup. It falls in the middle of a three-night Florida swing, after Pensacola on Wednesday, March 24 and Orlando on Thursday, March 25.

Four nights in Texas and Louisiana

The densest stretch of the tour is mid-April: Grand Prairie on Thursday, April 15, Amarillo on Friday, April 16, Cedar Park on Saturday, April 17 and Bossier City on Sunday, April 18, which starts earlier, at 6:30 PM. If your nearest date is pricey, a show a day earlier or later in the same region may be worth a look.

Bigger rooms on the route

Picking a seat

Many spring stops are civic centers and college arenas rather than giant NBA buildings, so the lower level sits fairly close to the stage almost everywhere. Side sections a few rows up give a clear view over the floor, and floor seats put you closest to the band but are flat, so shorter fans may prefer a raised seat. Upper-level seats facing the stage are usually the cheapest way in. Midweek dates, like Pensacola on a Wednesday, are often easier on the budget than Friday and Saturday nights.

TobyMac Hits Deep Tour 2027: Every Date, Lineup and Arena Tips

TobyMac Hits Deep Tour 2027: Every Date, Lineup and Arena Tips

TobyMac brings his annual Hits Deep Tour back to arenas in early 2027, with Jeremy Camp, Seph Schlueter and Katy Nichole on the bill. The run opens on Thursday, January 28, 2027 in Fayetteville, North Carolina and ends on Sunday, March 21 in Tulsa, Oklahoma: 31 shows in 30 cities. Here is every date on sale, how the lineup changes from city to city, and how to choose a night and a seat.

TobyMac Hits Deep Tour 2027 dates at a glance

January and February 2027

March 2027

Any remaining 2026 dates, including the co-headline arena shows with Chris Tomlin and Third Day, are on our TobyMac tickets page, with seat maps and all-in prices for every night.

Who plays which night

The tour announcement says the lineup varies by city, and our listings show it. Most dates are billed as TobyMac, Jeremy Camp, Seph Schlueter and Katy Nichole. A few are listed differently: Orlando on February 6 names TobyMac, Jeremy Camp and Seph Schlueter; Sioux Falls on March 16 is listed as TobyMac, Crowder and Jeremy Camp; and Jacksonville, Grand Rapids and Rockford are listed under TobyMac alone. If one supporting artist matters to you, check the event name on the listing before you buy.

Two nights in Fairfax

TobyMac was born in Fairfax, Virginia, and it is the only city with two Hits Deep shows: Friday, February 19 and Saturday, February 20, 2027 at EagleBank Arena. Each night is its own ticket, so if one is pricey, compare the other. Norfolk follows on Sunday, February 21.

The big arenas on the route

Picking a seat

In most arenas, lower-bowl seats along the sides close to the stage give the best balance of view and sound. Floor seats put you closest, but the floor is flat, so shorter fans may prefer a raised seat. Upper-level seats facing the stage are usually the cheapest way in and still take in the whole show. Weekend dates usually cost more than weeknights, so a Thursday in a nearby city can save money.

Sienna Spiro 2027 Tour: Every Date, Radio City and Red Rocks

Sienna Spiro 2027 Tour: Every Date, Radio City and Red Rocks

Sienna Spiro has extended her My House Tour into 2027, with 20 North American dates on our board for August and September 2027, with two nights at Radio City Music Hall, a headline show at the Grand Ole Opry House and a night at Red Rocks. Before that comes a UK and Europe run in February and March 2027. This guide lists every 2027 date on sale, which rooms are the big ones, and how to pick seats.

Sienna Spiro 2027 dates at a glance

UK and Europe, February and March 2027

My House Tour (Extended), North America, August and September 2027

Her fall 2026 North American run wraps up in Los Angeles on November 12, and any remaining fall dates are on our Sienna Spiro tickets page, along with seat maps and all-in prices for every show. Toronto, Portland and Mexico City were also announced for 2027 but are not on our board yet.

Radio City Music Hall, August 17 and 18

New York gets two nights, Tuesday, August 17 and Wednesday, August 18, 2027, and each is a separate ticket. Radio City has a wide orchestra floor and three mezzanines that rise behind it. The front of the first mezzanine is a favorite for a singer like Spiro, because the view is clear and the sound is full, and it often costs less than the front orchestra.

Red Rocks, Monday, August 30

Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Monday, August 30, 2027 starts at 7 PM, with doors at 6 PM. A few things to know before you buy:

  • Check the seating type. Red Rocks rows are long benches built into the hillside. Some shows are general admission across the whole venue and others have reserved rows, so read the listing for this date.
  • Plan for the climb. The walk up from the lots and the stairs to the top rows are steep, so leave extra time.
  • Bring layers. Late-August evenings in the foothills cool off fast after sunset, and shows go on in light rain.

The other big rooms

What to expect from the show

Spiro is a London singer-songwriter, born in 2005, who built her following with singing videos on TikTok before releasing her first single in 2024. “Die on This Hill,” released in October 2025, reached No. 9 in the UK and broke into the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Her debut album, Visitor, came out on July 3, 2026 on Capitol Records. Her shows are built around that voice and slow-building soul ballads, so most of these rooms are seated theaters rather than standing clubs.

Turnpike Troubadours at Red Rocks 2027: Dates, Openers and the Rodeo Shows

Turnpike Troubadours at Red Rocks 2027: Dates, Openers and the Rodeo Shows

Turnpike Troubadours just put two more Red Rocks nights on sale, for Thursday, May 13 and Friday, May 14, 2027. Between now and then the Oklahoma band has only a handful of U.S. dates, and half of them are not regular concerts: two are rodeo tickets and one is a small club show in Las Vegas. This guide lists every date on sale, who is opening, and what each kind of ticket gets you.

Turnpike Troubadours 2026–27 dates at a glance

Each show is a separate ticket. The full list, with seat maps and all-in prices, is on our Turnpike Troubadours tickets page.

Red Rocks, May 13 and 14, 2027

The band announced the two nights on October 19, 2026, and general on-sale opened on Friday, October 23. Both shows start at 7 PM, doors open at 5:30 PM, and Amble and Wade Forster open both nights. Red Rocks matters to this band: they picked it for their comeback show in May 2022 after a three-year break, and played two more nights there in May 2025.

  • Pick your night. Thursday, May 13 and Friday, May 14 are separate tickets.
  • Know the seating. Red Rocks rows are long benches built into the hillside. Some shows are general admission across the whole venue and others have reserved rows, so check the listing for your night.
  • Plan for the weather. Mid-May evenings in the foothills can be cold, and shows go on in rain. Bring layers.
  • Allow time for the climb. The walk up from the lots and the stairs to the top rows are steep, so give yourself extra time before the opener.

Rodeo nights: Phoenix and San Antonio

Two dates on this run are rodeo tickets with a concert after the rodeo, not Turnpike headline shows.

If you only care about the band, a seat on the side of the arena works for both the rodeo and the stage. Rodeo nights usually cost less than the Red Rocks shows for a full evening.

A club night in Las Vegas

On Friday, December 11 at 9 PM, the band plays Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas on the LINQ Promenade, with Red Shahan opening. It is a much smaller room than anywhere else on this run, which makes it the closest look at the band you can buy before Red Rocks.

What to expect from the show

Turnpike Troubadours are a six-piece: Evan Felker on vocals and guitar, Kyle Nix on fiddle, Ryan Engleman on electric guitar, RC Edwards on bass, Gabe Pearson on drums and Hank Early on steel and accordion. Their newest album is The Price of Admission from April 2025, and in June 2026 they released a version of Robert Earl Keen’s “Feelin’ Good Again” with Sierra Hull. Crowds sing the older songs, like “Diamonds & Gasoline,” “Long Hot Summer Day” and “Every Girl,” as loudly as the band plays them.

Matt Rife Stay Golden Tour 2026–27: Dates, Phone-Free Rules and the Fort Worth Taping

Matt Rife Stay Golden Tour 2026–27: Dates, Phone-Free Rules and the Fort Worth Taping

Matt Rife is in the middle of his Stay Golden World Tour, and the U.S. arena leg runs through Sunday, January 10, 2027. Before you buy, it helps to know three things the ticket page will not tell you at a glance: many stops lock your phone away for the whole show, many venues treat it as an adults-only night, and one Fort Worth date is being filmed for his next special. This guide covers the remaining dates and what each of those rules means on the night.

Matt Rife Stay Golden tour dates at a glance

Each show is a separate ticket. The full list, with seat maps and all-in prices, is on our Matt Rife tickets page.

Phone-free means no phone at all

A lot of comedy tours now run phone-free, and this one does at several stops. At Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, for example, the venue says phones, smartwatches, smart accessories and cameras are all sealed in Yondr pouches when you arrive. You keep the pouch, but it stays locked until you leave or step into a designated phone-use area, and anyone seen using a phone during the show is walked out.

  • Load your tickets before you get in line. Have your mobile tickets ready, because your phone gets locked right after you scan in.
  • Bring a card. You cannot tap to pay with a locked phone or watch, so carry a physical credit or debit card for drinks and merch.
  • Plan your ride home ahead of time. Agree on a meeting spot with your group, since you cannot text each other during the show.
  • Arrive early. Pouching adds a step at the door, so give yourself extra time to get through security.

The point of the rule is the crowd work. Rife builds part of every show out of conversations with people in the seats, and phone-free rooms keep those moments from ending up online the next morning.

Age limits: check before you buy for a teenager

Rife’s material is for adults, and many venues on this tour list the show as 18+ or mature audiences only. Dickies Arena lists its two December shows as 18+. Age rules are set venue by venue, so if anyone in your group is under 18, check the venue’s own event page for your date before buying. A resale ticket does not change a venue’s age policy.

The Fort Worth show is being taped

Dickies Arena says the Saturday, December 19 show was moved from December 12 because it is being taped for Rife’s next comedy special. If you want to be in the room for a taping, that is the night. A few things change on a filming night:

  • The show starts at 8 PM sharp, and late arrivals will not be let into the showroom during filming.
  • Producers may ask ticket holders to move seats on the night.
  • Cameras will be pointed at the crowd, and crowd work is a big part of his specials.

If you would rather watch without cameras, the Friday, December 18 show at the same arena is a regular show.

Which seats work best for arena comedy

Most stops on this leg are arenas, which is a big room for stand-up. Seeing his face and hearing the room matter more than being on the floor, so lower-bowl seats on the sides close to the stage are often better than the back of a flat floor. In the upper level, center sections give a straight view of the video screens. Crowd work tends to focus on people he can see from the stage, so the front sections and the floor are closest to it if you want to be part of the show.

Pricing and buying with BuyTickets.com

Weekend nights, holiday-week shows and the Fort Worth taping usually cost more, and weeknight arena dates are often the better value. BuyTickets.com is an independent resale marketplace, not the tour or the venues. We show the all-in price before you pay, and every order is covered by our 100% ticket guarantee. The delivery method and timing are shown on each listing. Call 855-855-6777 if you want to talk to a person.

Best Seats at Sphere Las Vegas: Concerts vs Oz

Best Seats at Sphere Las Vegas: Concerts vs Oz

At Sphere in Las Vegas, height often beats being closest to the stage. The LED screen wraps up and over the audience, so center mid-level seats usually show more of the show than a front-row floor ticket. For concerts, aim for the center 200s. For immersive films such as The Wizard of Oz, the center 300s are the usual pick. BuyTickets.com is an independent resale marketplace (4TIX LLC) since 1999 — you see the all-in price before you pay, and every order has our 100% ticket guarantee.

Best seats for Sphere concerts

Residencies and concerts at Sphere — including Metallica, the Eagles, John Mayer, Backstreet Boys, and Carin León — put a stage at one end of the room while the screen wraps the rest. Center 200-level sections, especially 205, 206, and 207 in roughly rows 10–20, are the usual sweet spot: close enough to see the performers and high enough to take in the full wraparound image. Side 200s still work if center inventory is thin; just open the seat map for your date.

Best seats for The Wizard of Oz and other immersive films

Film experiences such as The Wizard of Oz immersive film are about the screen, not a band on stage. Center 300-level sections (305–307, with 306 dead center) give the most complete picture. The front of the 400s is often the value pick when you care more about the image than sitting lower. Check the same notes on our Wizard of Oz tickets hub when that page lists your showtime.

100-level seats and the overhang

Question 100-level rows about 24 and back. The 200-level overhang can cut off the top of the screen — fans call it the cave effect. Closer 100s can still be fine for a concert if you mainly want to watch the stage, but they are a weaker choice when the wraparound image is the point of the night. A short walkthrough of that overhang issue is on YouTube.

GA floor: closest to the artist, looking up

General admission floor puts you nearest the performers, but those tickets are standing only and you look up for most of the visuals. That tradeoff is worth it for some fans and a miss for others who came for the Sphere image. More concert seating tips from fan video: Sphere concert seating tips.

Haptic seats and limited-view notes

Some Sphere sections include haptic (vibrating) seats that sync with the show; not every seat has them, and availability depends on the event and the map. Layouts and limited-view callouts also change by production, so treat section numbers as a starting point, not a guarantee for every night.

How to use the seat map on BuyTickets.com

Open the listing for your exact date on Sphere Las Vegas tickets, then use the seat map before you buy. Compare section and row, read any limited-view note on the listing, and confirm the all-in price. Resale inventory moves quickly; the map for tonight is not the same as the map for next month.

FAQ

What are the best seats at Sphere for a concert?

Center 200-level sections — especially 205, 206, and 207 in mid rows — usually balance the stage and the full wraparound screen.

Where should I sit for The Wizard of Oz at Sphere?

Center 300s (305–307, especially 306) are the usual pick for the full picture; front 400s are often strong value.

Should I avoid the 100 level?

Not always, but rows about 24 and back can sit under the 200-level overhang and lose the top of the screen. Prefer closer 100s or move up to the 200s when the screen matters.

Is GA floor worth it at Sphere?

It is closest to the artist and standing-only. You will look up for most of the visuals, so choose it for proximity, not for the wraparound image.

Does every seat have haptic effects?

No. Haptic seats are limited to certain sections and shows. Check the seat map and listing notes for your date.

Wheel of Fortune LIVE! 2026 Tour: Dates, Registration and How to Get Picked

Wheel of Fortune LIVE! 2026 Tour: Dates, Registration and How to Get Picked

Wheel of Fortune LIVE! is the touring stage version of the TV game show, and it is the only way most fans will ever get to spin the wheel themselves. The fall 2026 run plays theaters and casino showrooms from Bloomington, Illinois to Albuquerque, ending on Saturday, November 14. This guide covers the upcoming dates, how registration works, and what really decides who gets called up on stage.

Wheel of Fortune LIVE! 2026 dates at a glance

Each show is a separate ticket. The full list, with seat maps and all-in prices, is on our Wheel of Fortune LIVE! tickets page.

What happens at the show

The tour brings a replica of the wheel and a puzzle board to a local stage. A host calls fans up at random to spin, solve puzzles and play for prizes. The tour lists prizes of up to $10,000 in cash and trips to places like Paris and Hawaii, and people in the seats can be picked for audience games as well. It is a live stage show only and is not filmed for television.

Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest are not part of the tour. The tour uses its own hosts, and Mark L. Walberg and Clay Aiken have both hosted stops this year.

How to get picked to play

This is the part most people get wrong: a ticket alone does not put you in the running. You have to register.

  • Pre-register if your venue offers it. Some venues email ticket buyers a link to register online before the show. If you register that way, you do not need to register again at the door.
  • Or register at the venue. On-site registration usually opens about two hours before show time, near the box office, and closes ten minutes before the show starts.
  • Be 18 or older. Only adults can register as contestants. Kids are welcome to watch, and the show is pitched as a family night out.
  • Register once. Each person can register one time per show. Names are drawn at random from everyone who registers.
  • Stay close when names are called. The tour also draws alternates, so a player who is not there when called can lose the spot.

Your seat does not change your odds. Players are drawn from the registration list, not from certain rows, so there is no need to pay more for the front just to improve your chances of playing.

Picking a date and seats

Most stops are in theaters or casino event centers, so even the back rows are close to the stage. Front and center seats give the clearest view of the wheel and the puzzle board. Weeknight shows are often the better value, and the two-show stops in New Buffalo, Colorado Springs and Albuquerque give you a second chance if one night sells out. On BuyTickets.com, the all-in price, including fees, shows before you pay.

Want to be on the TV version?

The tour says fans can also audition at its shows for a chance to be a contestant on the TV show at a future taping. That audition is separate from being picked to play on stage that night, and it is open to current US residents only.

Billy Crystal 860 on Broadway: Show Times, Holiday Schedule and Closing Date

Billy Crystal 860 on Broadway: Show Times, Holiday Schedule and Closing Date

Billy Crystal is back on Broadway with 860, a new solo show he wrote and performs at the Imperial Theatre. It is a limited run that ends on Sunday, January 3, 2027, so the number of performances left is small. This guide covers the weekly show times, the Thanksgiving and Christmas schedule and the closing week, so you can pick a date before you look at seats.

What 860 is about

The title refers to the street number of Crystal’s longtime home in Pacific Palisades, which burned in the January 2025 fire. In the show he looks back on family, friendship, love, luck and loss, and on how laughter can carry you through the hardest times. Scott Ellis directs. It runs about 100 minutes with no intermission and is recommended for ages 12 and up.

This is Crystal’s second solo show on Broadway. His first, 700 Sundays, won a Tony Award in 2005 and came back to Broadway in 2013.

860 show times by day of the week

  • Tuesday: 7:00 PM
  • Wednesday: 2:00 PM matinee
  • Thursday: 7:00 PM
  • Friday: 8:00 PM
  • Saturday: 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM
  • Sunday: 3:00 PM matinee
  • Monday: dark for most of the run

That makes seven performances in a normal week. Two December Wednesdays add an evening show to the matinee: Wednesday, December 9, at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM, and Wednesday, December 16, at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Thanksgiving week

There is no performance on Thanksgiving Day. The week has Tuesday, November 24 at 7:00 PM and a Wednesday matinee on November 25 at 2:00 PM, then picks up again with Friday, November 27 at 8:00 PM. Saturday, November 28 has shows at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and Sunday, November 29 has 3:00 PM.

Christmas week and the closing week

The schedule shifts for the holidays. Both Mondays, December 21 and 28, have performances, and Christmas Eve has a single 1:00 PM matinee. There are no shows on Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. The final performance is the Sunday matinee on January 3, 2027.

Which performance to choose

If your dates are flexible, a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in November is usually the better value, for example Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 PM or the Wednesday, November 18 matinee. Saturday nights, Christmas week and the closing weekend usually cost the most, because many visitors plan a holiday trip around a Broadway show.

The Imperial Theatre has an orchestra level and a mezzanine split into front and rear sections. For a one-person show, being close helps: the center orchestra and the first rows of the front mezzanine give the clearest view of Crystal’s face. The rear mezzanine is farther back but is usually the lowest-priced part of the house.

Getting to the Imperial Theatre

The Imperial is at 249 West 45th Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. The Times Square–42nd Street and 49th Street subway stations are a few minutes’ walk away. The lobby is small, so plan to arrive about 30 minutes before curtain.

BuyTickets.com is an independent resale marketplace, not the Imperial Theatre or Telecharge. Prices can be above or below face value, and the all-in price is shown before you pay.

Radio City Christmas Spectacular 2026 Show Times: Holidays, Morning Shows and Late Shows

Radio City Christmas Spectacular 2026 Show Times: Holidays, Morning Shows and Late Shows

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes runs at Radio City Music Hall from Wednesday, November 4, 2026 through Monday, January 4, 2027. The schedule changes a lot over those two months, from two shows on a quiet November weekday to five a day in December. This guide lists the holiday show times and explains when the early and late shows run, so you can pick a performance before you look at seats.

Christmas Spectacular 2026 dates at a glance

Morning shows and 10:00 PM shows

On the busiest dates the first show starts at 10:00 AM and the last at 10:00 PM, with performances every three hours in between. That five-show day starts on Saturday, November 21 and runs on Black Friday weekend, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in December, the Mondays of December 7, 14, 21 and 28, Christmas Day and Wednesday, December 30.

The 10:00 AM show suits families with young children, and the 10:00 PM show is usually easier to fit around dinner or a day of sightseeing. Most other days in late November and December have four shows, at 11:00 AM, 2:00, 5:00 and 8:00 PM.

Quieter dates in November

The first two and a half weeks are the lightest part of the run. Most weekdays from November 4 to November 20 have a 3:00 PM and a 7:00 PM show. Thursday, November 12 has a single 3:00 PM show, and there are no performances on Monday, November 9 or Monday, November 16. Weekends in that stretch have three or four shows, starting as early as 11:00 AM.

If your dates are flexible, a weekday show in early or mid-November usually costs less than the same seats in December. Good examples are Thursday, November 5 at 3:00 PM, Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 PM and Thursday, November 19 at 3:00 PM.

Christmas week and New Year’s

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are listed above. New Year’s Eve has only two shows, both during the day.

Choosing seats and planning the day

The show runs about 90 minutes with no intermission. Radio City has a large orchestra level and three mezzanines. The front and center orchestra puts you closest to the Rockettes, and the first mezzanine has the best full view of numbers like the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. The upper mezzanines are farther away but are usually the lowest-priced seats.

Plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the show, especially in December, when the lines to get in are long. The Rockefeller Center tree and the Fifth Avenue store windows are a short walk away.
