Here are some tips, from the Tacoma Dome:

Arrive early! We don't want you to miss a single minute of the show. There will be activities on the outdoor plaza, a pre-party in the ExHall and merchandise stands available before the show. Parking at the Tacoma Dome is limited ($25 cash only) so be sure to plan ahead and check our website's Directions tab and the links below for alternate options, including the Tacoma Link Light Rail which is running extended hours. 

The Dome pre-party in the ExHall and McKinley's Grill Restaurant open at 4:30pm. McKinley's Grill will be open for all ages but those 21 and over, McKinley's Grill will feature the "Red Carpet Lemonade" drink special.

Casey James will go on stage at approximately 7pm, followed by Ed Sheeran, and then Taylor Swift!

Help us celebrate 30 years! Share your favorite Tacoma Dome memories with us at our Dome30 table. We have a limited number of delicious Dome30 cake pops from Celebrity Cake Studio as a thank you for sharing your memory.

Signs: be kind to those around you - if you are sitting on the floor or in the pit, per the tour's request, no signs will be allowed as it may block the view of those seated around you. If you are sitting in the stands, signs must fit under your seat, sized less than 18"x24", and cannot have any pole/stake attached to the sign. 

Camera policy: non-professional cameras are fine (no detachable lens). No audio or video equipment will be allowed.
