Frequently Asked Questions

When and where is the Dance Gavin Dance concert in Oklahoma City?

The Dance Gavin Dance concert in Oklahoma City is scheduled for Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at The Criterion, located at 500 E Sheridan Ave in the Bricktown district of Oklahoma City, OK 73104. The show time is listed as 7:00 PM, making it an evening event that works well for a weeknight night out with plenty of time to grab food nearby beforehand. Because it is part of the band’s 2026 tour, you can expect a full production set with lights, visuals, and a high-energy crowd of dedicated fans.

What time do doors open and when will Dance Gavin Dance go on stage?

For this Oklahoma City show, doors at The Criterion are scheduled to open at 6:00 PM, with the concert officially starting at 7:00 PM. Doors typically open about one hour before showtime so fans can clear security, pick up will-call tickets, and find their spots before the first band begins. With multiple support acts on the bill, Dance Gavin Dance will hit the stage later in the evening, so plan to stay for several hours of music and arrive early if you want a prime viewing location.

Who is opening for Dance Gavin Dance at The Criterion?

This Oklahoma City date features a strong supporting lineup, with Wolf & Bear and Novelists officially listed as special guests on the show announcement. Some ticketing sites also highlight The Fall of Troy alongside Wolf & Bear and Novelists on this leg of the tour, giving fans a packed evening of post-hardcore and progressive rock before the headliner begins. Because openers can occasionally vary by city, it is a good idea to recheck the event details closer to May 12 to confirm the final supporting lineup and running order.

How can I get cheap tickets for the Oklahoma City concert?

To get the best price, start by looking at official primary sellers like Ticketmaster, AXS, and the venue’s linked ticket partners as soon as tickets go on sale, since early inventory often has the lowest face value. If those options are getting pricey, compare them with reputable resale platforms and sort by lowest price; some sites list tickets starting around the mid-$70s, and prices can dip as the date approaches, especially if resellers need to offload extra seats. You can stretch your budget further by choosing general-admission floor or standard seating instead of VIP packages, buying in one group order to share service fees, tracking prices over time, and taking advantage of fan club or credit card presales that may unlock access to cheaper sections.

What is The Criterion like as a venue?

The Criterion is a modern indoor concert venue in the heart of Bricktown, known for its strong sound system, clear sight lines, and flexible layout that can accommodate both seated and standing shows. It is designed to host mid- to large-sized concerts, with a main floor close to the stage and an upper level that offers balcony views of the performance. Fans often appreciate that it feels big enough for major tours but still intimate enough to see the band well from most areas of the room.

Is the concert seated, standing, or a mix of both?

The Criterion’s configuration for this Dance Gavin Dance show is promoted with a general admission setup, typically meaning a standing floor in front of the stage, with possible additional reserved or balcony areas depending on how the event is ticketed. General admission means your view largely depends on when you arrive and where you choose to stand—early birds can secure spots close to the stage and in the center of the action. If you prefer a less intense experience, arriving a bit early and selecting a spot farther back on the floor or along a side rail can give you a good mix of comfort and visibility.

What are the parking options near The Criterion?

You have several parking choices when attending events at The Criterion: there is a pay-to-park lot directly west of the building and additional paid lots and garages throughout the Bricktown area within a short walk of the venue. For those looking to save money, the closest free parking is at the Bass Pro Shop, located about two blocks south of The Criterion, though spaces there can fill quickly on busy event nights. Because Oklahoma City traffic can be heavier around the venue during popular shows, allowing extra time for parking and walking, carpooling with friends, or using rideshare services are all smart strategies.

When should I arrive, and how early is recommended?

Since doors open at 6:00 PM and the show starts at 7:00 PM, arriving around or shortly before doors is ideal if you want a good spot on the floor and a smooth experience through security. Getting there early gives you time to park, pick up will-call tickets (which are typically available starting about one hour before showtime), use the restrooms, and check out the merch table before the venue gets crowded. If you are comfortable with a more relaxed view and do not mind standing farther from the stage, you can arrive closer to showtime, but keep in mind that you might need to wait for appropriate breaks if you come in late.

Are there any age restrictions for the Oklahoma City show?

The Criterion hosts a mix of all-ages and age-restricted events, and general venue guidance notes that some shows are all ages while others may have minimum age requirements. For this Dance Gavin Dance concert, listings do not prominently flag a strict age limit, but you should always check the ticket page or confirmation details to see whether it is officially all-ages or has a specific minimum age or accompaniment rule. If you plan to attend with younger fans, bringing valid IDs, arriving early to avoid rushed entry, and choosing a spot away from the most active part of the crowd will help keep the experience safe and enjoyable.

What is the bag and camera policy at The Criterion?

General venue guidance indicates that small personal cameras are usually acceptable, while professional cameras, GoPros, iPads, and larger recording devices are not allowed unless specifically authorized. Bag policies can vary, but keeping your items to a small bag with essentials—phone, wallet, keys, and any necessary medication—will help you move quickly through security and avoid being turned away for oversized items. As policies can differ between events and are influenced by artist preferences, it is wise to double-check the day-of information and pack light so you can get inside quickly and focus on enjoying the show.

How can I avoid overpaying or getting scammed when buying tickets?

To stay safe and avoid overpaying, begin with official ticket outlets linked by The Criterion and the tour—such as Prekindle, Ticketmaster, AXS, or other official partners—and compare their face-value prices and fees before looking at resale options. If you do use resale marketplaces, stick to well-known platforms that offer clear buyer guarantees, and be cautious of deals from unknown sellers on social media or classifieds, especially if they demand cash, wire transfers, or payment apps with limited buyer protection. A smart strategy is to monitor prices over time, consider going for general-admission tickets rather than more expensive premium options, and be ready to buy when you see a reasonable price instead of waiting until the last minute when availability could tighten.
