Nate Bargatze is scheduled to perform in Knoxville&#44; Tennessee on Sunday&#44; January 25&#44; 2026 at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center. The show time is listed as 7:30 PM local time&#44; so try to be in your seat a little before then so you do not miss the start.

Question 2

Where is the Nate Bargatze show in Knoxville taking place?

Accepted Answer

The show takes place at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center&#44; located at 1600 Phillip Fulmer Way in Knoxville on the University of Tennessee campus. It is a large indoor arena normally used for major concerts and UT basketball games&#44; with multiple seating levels and big video screens that help you see the stage from almost anywhere.

Question 3

What time should I arrive and when do doors usually open?

Accepted Answer

For a 7:30 PM show&#44; arriving 60–90 minutes early is a good plan so you have enough time to park&#44; walk to the arena&#44; pass through security&#44; and grab concessions if you want them. Big arena events often open doors 60–90 minutes before showtime&#44; and arriving in that window usually helps you avoid the longest lines.

Question 4

How does parking work at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center?

Accepted Answer

Parking is available in various lots and garages around the arena&#44; but spaces can fill quickly for major events&#44; which sometimes leads to traffic delays and longer walks. To make things easier&#44; consider arriving early&#44; following event parking signs carefully&#44; or using rideshare services if you want to avoid the hassle of finding a spot and paying for parking.

Question 5

What is the bag policy at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center?

Accepted Answer

The arena has a clear bag policy that allows one clear plastic bag per person up to 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches&#44; or a one-gallon clear resealable bag&#44; plus a small clutch purse up to about 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. All bags are subject to search at the gates&#44; and other types of larger or opaque bags are not allowed&#44; so bringing only a small clear bag or clutch with essentials will help you avoid being turned away and walking back to your car.

Question 6

Are outside food, drinks, and re-entry allowed?

Accepted Answer

Event information for this arena notes that no outside food or drink is permitted inside&#44; so you should finish beverages and snacks before entering. Re-entry is typically not allowed&#44; which means that if you leave the building during the event you may need a new ticket to get back in&#44; so plan to stay inside once you are through security.

Question 7

What security measures should I expect when entering the arena?

Accepted Answer

Guests can expect standard arena security&#44; which usually includes bag checks in line with the clear bag policy and screening at the entrances. To make entry smoother&#44; remove unnecessary items from your pockets&#44; keep your clear bag organized&#44; and have your ticket ready on your phone or printed so staff can scan it quickly.

Question 8

How much do Nate Bargatze tickets in Knoxville usually cost?

Accepted Answer

Ticket listings for this Knoxville show mention lowest advertised prices starting from about the mid-$50 range for the cheapest available seats. Some theater and resale sites show prices “from” roughly the low to mid-$70 range and averages higher&#44; with floor or premium lower-level seats costing more and upper-level seats usually being the most budget-friendly.

Question 9

How can I find cheaper Nate Bargatze tickets for Knoxville?

Accepted Answer

To get cheaper tickets&#44; compare prices on several major ticket platforms and always sort from lowest price so you can see the most affordable seats first. Focus on higher or corner sections&#44; skip VIP or add-on packages you do not need&#44; look at all-in prices that show fees upfront&#44; and keep checking resale listings as the date gets closer&#44; because some sellers drop prices to fill their seats.

Question 10

Is it better to buy tickets early or wait closer to the show for deals?

Accepted Answer

If you want specific sections or need a block of seats together for a group&#44; buying earlier is safer because the best locations can sell out or rise in price as the show fills up. If you are flexible about where you sit and mainly care about paying less&#44; watching resale prices over time and being ready to buy in the last couple of weeks can sometimes lead to better deals&#44; especially if there are still many seats available.
