What time should I arrive for the John Mulaney show?
The event is scheduled for the early evening (7:00–7:30 PM), and venues like Mahalia Jackson Theater typically open doors about an hour before showtime. Arriving 45–60 minutes early gives you time for security, finding your seat, and grabbing concessions so you are settled before the show starts.
How long does a John Mulaney show usually last?

How much do John Mulaney tickets cost in New Orleans?
Ticket guides for the Mahalia Jackson Theater date show lowest prices starting around $126–$142, with average New Orleans ticket prices near $230–$240. Prices increase for better locations, especially orchestra sections close to the stage.
How can I get cheap tickets for the New Orleans show?
To get cheaper tickets, look at upper balcony or rear sections, where prices sit closer to the starting range (around the low-to-mid $100s) instead of the average. Comparing multiple ticket sites, sorting by lowest price including fees, and being flexible about sitting farther back can help you stay near the minimum price rather than paying for premium orchestra seats.
Is it a good idea to wait for last-minute tickets?
Some listings show that only a portion of tickets remain and highlight strong demand, but resale markets sometimes lower prices closer to show day when sellers want to move remaining seats. Waiting can pay off if you are flexible about section and mainly care about price, but it is risky if you want specific seats or if the event moves toward a sellout.
What is the seating like at Mahalia Jackson Theater for a comedy show?
The Mahalia Jackson Theater is a traditional performing arts venue with orchestra and balcony seating, designed so most seats have a clear view of the stage. Orchestra center offers the closest view of John Mulaney, while balcony and upper sections are more budget-friendly yet still provide good sightlines and acoustics for stand-up.
What are tips to avoid overpaying and to save on parking or transport?
To avoid overpaying, always compare total ticket costs with fees on several marketplaces, and look for mid-range seats that balance view and price instead of immediately choosing the most expensive front rows. For getting to the theater, check nearby parking rates ahead of time, consider carpooling to share costs, or use rideshare or public transit so you do not have to pay for event parking right at the venue.
