Frequently Asked Questions
When is Dancing with the Stars in Pittsburgh, PA?
Dancing with the Stars – Live! 2026 Tour comes to the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh on Sunday, February 22, 2026, with the show starting at 7:00 pm. Doors typically open about an hour before showtime, so guests can arrive early to find seats and enjoy the arena atmosphere.
Where is the Petersen Events Center and what is the venue like?
The Petersen Events Center is located on the University of Pittsburgh campus at 3719 Terrace Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15261. It is a modern multi-purpose arena with about 12,500 seats for basketball and up to around 8,000–10,000 seats for most end-stage concerts, offering 360-degree bowl seating, premium club areas, and suites.
What time should I arrive before the 7:00 pm show?
Planning to arrive at least 60 minutes early, around 6:00 pm, gives you time for Oakland traffic, parking, walking from the garage or lot, security checks, and finding your seats. Arriving a bit earlier is especially helpful on Sunday evenings when multiple campus or hospital events can make nearby streets and garages busier.
How long does the Dancing with the Stars live show usually last?
The Pittsburgh event listing and tour FAQ describe the live show as running about two hours, usually including a short intermission. With a 7:00 pm start at the Petersen Events Center, you can expect to be leaving the arena around 9:00–9:15 pm, plus a little extra time to exit your section and reach the parking area.
How much do tickets usually cost for Dancing with the Stars at the Petersen Events Center?
Ticket platforms show several pricing tiers, with lower-bowl and upper-level seats starting in more budget-friendly ranges and floor or club-level seats priced higher. Exact prices vary depending on location, demand, and any VIP options, but expect a noticeable jump for closer floor sections, club seats, and special packages.
How can I get cheap tickets for the Pittsburgh show?
To keep ticket costs low, look for tickets in the upper bowl or higher rows of the lower bowl instead of floor or premium club areas, which carry the highest prices. Compare listings across several major ticket sites, sort by lowest price, avoid VIP or meet-and-greet packages, and buy early before the cheapest sections sell out.
Which seats are best to enjoy a dance show at the Petersen Events Center?
For a dance event, many fans like lower-bowl sideline sections that are slightly elevated above the floor, giving a clear view of the full stage and choreography. If you want a balance of price and view, consider mid-lower-bowl or front upper-bowl seats facing the stage, which are often cheaper than floor seats but still close enough for a strong overall view.
Is the Dancing with the Stars show in Pittsburgh family friendly?
The Pittsburgh tour stop is promoted as a family-friendly evening, with professional ballroom and Latin routines, live music, and TV-style production aimed at audiences of all ages. Families should consider the 7:00 pm start and two-hour length for younger children and may prefer aisle seats to make it easier to step out during the show if needed.
What are the parking options at the Petersen Events Center, and how can I save money?
Event parking uses several nearby campus garages and lots, including the BioScience Tower Garage (BST) right across from the arena, as well as O’Hara Garage, OC Lot, Towerview Lot, and Soldiers & Sailors Garage for larger events. Event parking is usually around $20 per vehicle but can vary by event, so to save money you can arrive early to choose cheaper lots, pre-book spaces through parking apps where available, carpool to split fees, or park slightly farther away in non-event garages and walk a bit more.
What is the best overall strategy to keep tickets and the night affordable?
The best approach is to target upper-bowl or rear-lower-bowl seats, watch multiple ticket sites for lower prices and lower-fee options, and purchase once you see a good combination of cost and view rather than waiting until the last minute. Combine that with reasonably priced parking (by arriving early and possibly pre-booking) and mobile tickets without extras so you enjoy the full show experience without overspending.
