Your Ticket Strategy: How to Get Yours Smoothly
It is an announcement on the spot; the clock is ticking. This is how to pass through the buying process like a professional.
Where to Buy (and Where to Avoid)
The only official ticket seller for this event is Ticketmaster. This is non-negotiable for a venue of this size. My strongest advice? Stick to Ticketmaster to avoid massively inflated prices and potential fraud from third-party resellers. I’ve seen too many people get burned on other sites.
H3: Understanding the Ticket Limit
There’s a strict limit of 15 tickets per person and per credit card. This is a good thing—it’s designed to prevent scalpers from buying up huge blocks of seats. Plan your group order. If you’re organizing for a church group or large family, you may need to coordinate with multiple people and credit cards.
A Note on Accessible Seating
Cable Dahmer Arena offers accessible seating, and Ticketmaster handles these sales directly. The process is straightforward:
- On the event page, select the ‘Filter’ button.
- Toggle the ‘Show accessible tickets’ switch.
- The available options will appear on the interactive seat map.
- You can also call Ticketmaster’s accessible seating line at (800) 877-7575. Remember, these tickets are reserved for fans with disabilities and their companions.
Navigating Cable Dahmer Arena: What You MUST Know
I’ve learned a few things from seeing everything from hockey games to worship nights here. Knowing the venue’s policies ahead of time is the difference between a stressful evening and a great one.
The Bag Policy: Travel Light
This is crucial. No backpacks are allowed. The arena’s policy is strict to ensure safety and speed up entry. A small clutch or a clear bag is your best bet. Check the arena’s official website for specific size dimensions before you go. Trust me, you don’t want to be the person walking back to their car as the music starts.
A Cashless Concession Experience
Leave the cash at home. All concessions inside Cable Dahmer Arena are cashless. They accept major credit/debit cards and mobile payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Plan accordingly to avoid missing out on that pre-show coffee or snack.
Security and Prohibited Items
Expect a security search at the doors. Along with the no-backpack rule, remember:
- No weapons of any kind.
- No outside food or drink.
Arriving early is key. Doors open at 6:00 PM for a 7:00 PM show. Hope to arrive there at around 6:00 PM to go through the security, locate your seats, get a drink, and relax without hurry.
Making a Night of It: Pre-Show and Parking Tips
Independence has plenty to offer. Making a plan for the hours before the show will elevate the entire experience.
Pre-Concert Bites and Coffee
The arena is located in a bustling area with plenty of options. For a quick and easy meal, there are countless chain restaurants nearby. However, if you prefer to go closer to home, you can choose to go to the downtown part of Independence to have a bite. Pro tip: Eat before you arrive. The line of concession may be long immediately before showtime.
Parking at Cable Dahmer Arena
The parking area is immense and dedicated to the arena. Parking charges are usually non-cash, and therefore, carry your card. Although rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft are an excellent alternative to parking altogether, expect surge pricing and waiting in long lines at the event when the event is ending.
What to Expect: The Worship Now Tour Experience
This isn’t just a series of performances; it’s a curated worship journey. Having been to similar events, the flow is often designed to build a sense of community.
You can expect a night where each artist brings their unique sound, potentially collaborating on each other’s songs. The atmosphere is less like a rock concert and more like a massive, unified church service. The goal is participatory—so be ready to sing your heart out.

FAQ Section
Q1: Are there any VIP or Meet-and-Greet packages available for this tour?
Tours such as the one discussed here usually feature VIP packages that are offered on the official website of the artist or on Ticketmaster during the first on-sale. These packages are exclusive and they are sold off in a very short time. The most likely is to look is in the Special Offers section on the Ticketmaster event page or watch social media feeds of Phil Wickham and the other performers to see direct announcements about VIP experiences.
Q2: Is this concert appropriate for my children?
Absolutely. The Air1 Worship Now Tour is a family-friendly event centered on faith and music. The content is appropriate for all ages. Many families attend together. For very young children, consider concert-grade ear protection due to the volume, and always ensure you have a ticket for each attendee, regardless of age.
Q3: What is the best way to get updates if the event details change?
The most reliable source for updates is the official venue website (Cable Dahmer Arena) and the Ticketmaster event page. These platforms will have the most current information regarding timing, safety protocols, or any other changes. Following Air1 Radio on social media is also a great idea.
Q4: I can’t go anymore. What should I do with my tickets?
If you purchased tickets through Ticketmaster and can no longer attend, the safest way to resell them is through Ticketmaster’s official Fan-to-Fan Exchange. This is the only method that guarantees the tickets are valid and transferred securely to the new buyer. Avoid unofficial third-party sites or social media sales, which carry a high risk of fraud.
Q5: What time should I actually arrive at the arena?
Doors open at 6:00 PM. I recommend aiming to arrive between 6:00 PM and 6:30 PM. This gives you a comfortable buffer to navigate traffic, find parking, get through security screening, locate your seats, and visit the concessions or restrooms without missing a moment of the 7:00 PM start.
Q6: Will there be merchandise available for all the artists?
Yes, there will almost certainly be a dedicated merchandise stand selling tour-specific items like T-shirts, sweatshirts, and CDs for the various artists. Lines can get long before the show and during intermissions. A good strategy is to go during an opening act you’re less familiar with or immediately after the final song if you want to avoid the biggest crowds.
