Question 4

What extra tips can help me save money on tickets?

Accepted Answer

You can often save by buying early at face value through Prekindle or primary ticketing before prices rise on resale platforms.

The Criterion is a modern&#44; 30&#44;000-square-foot venue with a capacity of over 3&#44;000 guests&#44; configured for concerts and comedy with a mix of floor and raised areas depending on the event. For stand-up&#44; many fans prefer central areas for the best view&#44; while those who prioritize price often choose spots further from the stage that still offer a clear line of sight.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

The Criterion uses walk-through metal detectors and bag checks at entrances and allows medically required food and beverages in sealed containers&#44; reflecting attention to safety and accessibility needs. Guests who need accessible seating or accommodations should contact the venue in advance and arrive early so staff can help with suitable viewing areas and entry routes.

Question 7

What are the parking options near The Criterion?

Accepted Answer

The venue notes a pay-to-park lot directly west of the building and identifies the closest free parking at the Bass Pro Shop&#44; about two blocks south of The Criterion. Additional nearby garages and lots can be reserved via services like ParkWhiz and city parking partners for events at 500 E Sheridan Ave.

Question 8

How can I save money or avoid hassle with parking?

Accepted Answer

For free parking&#44; use the Bass Pro Shop lot two blocks south and walk to the venue&#44; or carpool so you can split the cost if you choose the paid lot directly west of The Criterion. Reserving a space in advance through parking apps can also save money versus drive-up rates and guarantees a spot so you are not circling Bricktown before the show.

Question 9

What are the bag, camera, and payment policies at The Criterion?

Accepted Answer

Starting April 16&#44; 2025&#44; The Criterion is cashless at the bar and box office&#44; so you need a debit or credit card to buy drinks or tickets. No backpacks of any kind are allowed&#44; bags must be smaller than 14 x 14 x 6 inches&#44; only cell phone cameras are permitted&#44; and some shows may ban all cameras at the artist’s request&#44; so travel light and be prepared for bag searches and metal detectors.

Question 10

Can I smoke or leave and re-enter during the show?

Accepted Answer

The Criterion does not permit smoking&#44; including e-cigarettes and vapes&#44; inside the venue. Re-entry is allowed only until a posted time for the event&#44; so if you step out&#44; make sure to return before that cutoff or you may not be able to get back in.
