Does my child need a ticket?
Although the promoter of some shows may have a different policy, generally children under 2 years of age do not need a ticket. They are required to sit on the lap of the adult and to not interfere with someone else's seat. Please keep in mind that some shows may not be appropriate for young children, and that children must be supervised closely by a responsible adult.

The Coliseum Boxoffice is usually only open the day of the show. If there are tickets still available, you can usually purchase them at the Boxoffice. Some shows like the Ringling Bros. Circus, Disney on Ice, and National Western Stock Show & Rodeo do sell tickets in advance from the Denver Coliseum Boxoffice. Please call 720-865-2475 for those hours.
