This country star is bringing her first arena tour to Kansas City. What to know

Are you heading to her show or thinking about buying a last-minute ticket? Here’s what you need to know.
How much are tickets?
Tickets are available on AXS as of Friday on all levels — floor, lower and upper. Here’s how much one ticket costs before fees:
- $175.50 for the pit area, the closest to the stage
- $95.50, $105.50 and $155.50 for floor seating
- $60.50 to $115.50 for lower level seating
$35.50 to $45.50 for upper level sections
When do doors open?
The show is scheduled to start at 7 p.m., and doors open at 6 p.m.
If your cellphone provider is T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile or MINT, you can enter through the expedited T-Mobile gate on Grand Boulevard when all doors open.
The venue is cashless, so you can only buy concert merchandise with credit and debit cards or contactless payment methods, like Apple Pay.
Concertgoers with general admission tickets can start lining up at 11 a.m. outside of the T-Mobile Center’s Oak Street entrance, according to the venue website.
What can and can’t I bring to T-Mobile Center?
T-Mobile Center does not have a clear bag policy, but the venue encourages fans to pack lightly when attending. Your bag should not be larger than 12” by 6” by 12”. Don’t bring backpacks or chain wallets.
These other items are not allowed inside:
Artificial noisemakers
Beach balls and balloons
Cameras with detachable lenses
Coolers and containers
Laptop and tablet computers
Outside food and beverages
Pocket knives
Selfie sticks
Spurs
Umbrellas with spike-like points
Any type of weapon, fake weapon or object resembling a weapon
Where can I park in downtown Kansas City?
Downtown Kansas City has plenty of parking available near T-Mobile Center. The arena offers on-site parking in front of the venue on 13th Terrace and Oak Street, in the red lot at 12th and Oak streets and the yellow lot at 13th Street and Grand Boulevard, which is the KC Live! garage.
You will have to purchase passes to these lots in advance online. The Magenta lot costs $150, the KC Live! lot costs $20 and the yellow lot costs $25 before online fees. Event parking opens three hours before the concert.
Other than those, there are over 40,000 parking spaces in the downtown area. Many are paid lots, and street parking is available, though it may cost up to $40 during events like concerts.
You can also park farther away and take the free KC Streetcar to the stop 14th and Main streets, the closest to T-Mobile Center.
Where can I be dropped off and picked up for the concert?
Grand Boulevard and Oak Street in front of T-Mobile Center will be blocked off for the concert.
If you’re being dropped off by a family, friend, Uber or Lyft, they can take you as close to the 13th and Oak Street entrance as possible. They may also drop you off on streets that aren’t blocked off in the Power & Light District or farther away if walking isn’t an issue.
The same is true for picking up concertgoers after the show. Communicate with your driver so they can find you once the show’s over.
