What time should I arrive for the John Mulaney show?
The show is set for 7:00 PM, and arriving 45–60 minutes early is a smart plan so you have time for parking, ticket scanning, security, restrooms, and finding your seat. Getting there early also lets you settle in and check out merch or concessions before the performance begins.
Where is Palace Theatre located in Columbus?
Palace Theatre Columbus is located at 34 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215, in the downtown area. It is a historic theater venue that regularly hosts touring comedy and live events, and is easy to reach from major downtown streets.
How much do John Mulaney tickets cost at Palace Theatre Columbus?
Primary pricing shows ranges by section, with rear balcony seats roughly in the low-to-high $70s, mezzanine in the high $90s to low $120s, and main floor seats from about $120 up to around the mid-$400s for the best front main floor locations. Resale marketplaces list lowest prices around $89–$100 and averages near $200–$255, with top prices for premium seats going into the $500+ range.
How can I get cheaper John Mulaney tickets for the Columbus show?
To get cheaper tickets, focus on rear balcony or upper balcony sections, where prices start around the high $70s to $90s, and compare those with lower mezzanine seats that are still under the main floor price level. Check several sites, sort by lowest price including fees, and use tools like “Deal Score” or “Best value” labels to find seats that offer a good mix of cost and view instead of only looking at the very front rows.
Is it a good idea to wait for last-minute tickets in Columbus?
Some platforms mark the Columbus show as high demand, but also show many resale listings, which can lead to price drops if sellers lower prices closer to January 17. Waiting can help you snag a deal, especially in balcony sections, but it is a risk if you want specific locations or if the event nears sellout, so this strategy is best for flexible buyers who mainly care about getting in at a lower price.
What are tips to avoid overpaying for Palace Theatre tickets?
To avoid overpaying, always compare final prices (ticket plus fees) across multiple marketplaces and do not buy the first ticket you see in your preferred section without checking similar rows on other sites. Aim for mid-range areas like rear main floor or front mezzanine, where you often get a strong view at a lower cost than the absolute front rows, and avoid paying a huge premium for small differences in row or section.
What is the seating like at Palace Theatre Columbus for a comedy show?
Palace Theatre has multiple levels including main floor, mezzanine, and rear balcony, with the design giving clear sightlines from most seats. Front main floor and front mezzanine provide the closest and clearest view of John Mulaney, while rear balcony offers the most budget-friendly option that still allows you to see and hear the show comfortably.
Is the Columbus date part of the “Mister Whatever” tour, and are there VIP packages?
The January 17, 2026 Columbus show is listed as part of John Mulaney’s “Mister Whatever” tour on both tour and local event pages. The official tour mentions VIP packages that include a premium reserved ticket and tour merchandise, though availability is limited and will be priced higher than standard seats.
How should I plan for parking and transportation to Palace Theatre?
Palace Theatre’s downtown location means you should plan extra time for evening traffic and to find a nearby garage or lot, especially on a Saturday night. To save money, consider using city garages a short walk away instead of the closest premium lots, carpooling to split parking costs, or taking rideshare or public transit so you do not have to pay for event parking at all.
