Union Station is Alison Krauss’s long-standing band, and Jerry Douglas, a celebrated dobro player, is highlighted as a featured performer, adding his distinctive slide and lap-style sound to the group. Tour listings also note special guest Theo Lawrence on select dates, contributing additional Americana and roots energy to the evening.

How can I get cheap tickets for the Alison Krauss Charleston concert?

To find cheaper tickets, start with the official Coliseum box office and primary ticket sellers, because face-value tickets there are usually less expensive than many resale offers once extra markups and fees are added. The Charleston Coliseum box office at 301 Clendenin Street sells tickets in person on specific days and hours, which can help you avoid some online convenience fees. Watch for presale opportunities mentioned in tour and promoter announcements, then, as the show approaches, compare several reputable resale platforms and sort by lowest price; upper-level or side-section seats often offer the best value. Flexibility about your exact section and willingness to consider single seats or odd-number seat blocks can also unlock discounted listings that others skip over.

What are typical ticket price ranges for this show?

Ticket maps for Alison Krauss in Charleston show a range from lower-priced upper or rear sections to higher-cost lower-level and premium areas closer to the stage. Some resale listings indicate that entry-level tickets may start in a relatively moderate price band, while front-and-center seats and VIP-style locations can be significantly more expensive once fees are included. Budget-minded fans usually get the best value in upper-level or side sections, where prices are friendlier but sound and sightlines remain solid in this arena-style setting.

Where is Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center and how do I get there?

The Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center is located at 200 Civic Center Drive, Charleston, WV 25301, just off Interstate routes and near the Kanawha River in downtown Charleston. Drivers typically use nearby highways and follow signs into the downtown area, then turn toward Civic Center Drive and surrounding streets leading to the venue’s parking lots and garages. Because this is a busy central area, allowing extra time for traffic and for walking from your parking spot to the arena entrance is a smart idea on concert night.

What are the parking options and costs for this concert?

Parking for events at Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center is offered in lots and garages around the complex, with general event parking commonly priced around a modest per-car fee similar to other regional arenas. Accessible parking spaces are available in designated areas for vehicles displaying the appropriate permits, and these spots operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking is usually paid directly on-site by cash or card on event days, so arriving early improves your chances of getting a convenient spot and reduces pre-show stress.

What is the bag policy and what items are allowed inside?

The Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center enforces a clear bag policy for events, requiring most bags to be transparent and within specific size limits. Approved items typically include one clear bag up to about 12 x 12 x 6 inches and a small clutch or wristlet, while all bags are subject to search at entry. To move through security quickly, bring only essential items in a compliant clear bag or very small clutch and be prepared to place your bag and metal objects on the inspection table.

What items are prohibited at Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center?

Prohibited items at the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center include large or non-compliant bags, coolers, outside food and beverages, bottles, cans, weapons, illegal substances, fireworks, and some recording devices. Guests and their bags are subject to metal detector screening and search, and items that do not meet policy requirements must be returned to vehicles or discarded. Reviewing the venue’s prohibited-item list before you leave home helps prevent delays at the doors and ensures you can enter the arena smoothly.

How long will the Alison Krauss concert last?

The event listing for Alison Krauss & Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas in Charleston notes a window from 7:30 PM to around 11:00 PM, suggesting an evening of up to about three and a half hours including support, breaks, and main set. Performances on the Arcadia 2026 Tour generally feature a full headlining set with Alison Krauss & Union Station, plus time for Jerry Douglas’s featured moments and possible encores. Planning for the show to run roughly two hours of music within that broader time block will help you keep after-show travel plans flexible.

Is the venue accessible for guests with disabilities?

The Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center provides ADA-accessible seating, entrances, and parking for guests with disabilities, similar to other modern arena complexes. Accessible parking spaces are located close to venue entrances, and guests with mobility needs are encouraged to arrive early so they have time to park, navigate security, and reach their seats comfortably. For specific questions about accessible seating locations or services, contacting the venue box office ahead of time ensures that appropriate arrangements can be made.

How can I avoid high fees and overpaying on ticket sites?

To avoid overpaying, compare prices from the official box office and primary ticket outlets with several legitimate resale platforms, and always focus on the final checkout total including all fees, not just the starting ticket price. Avoid vague listings or extreme markups by seeking tickets that clearly show section and row details, so you know exactly what you are getting for your money. Choosing mobile ticket delivery where available, being flexible on which section you sit in, and monitoring prices again in the days before the concert can help you catch late price drops as sellers adjust to actual demand.
