Unless lost items are handed into venue staff during a show, we don’t locate them until well after the show ends. You can check out our CrowdFind page to view all lost and found items and submit a claim to come pick up your item.

We do have accessible seating. Located on a raised viewing platform inside the venue, with an accessible ramp, seating on this platform is available on a first come, first served basis. We recommend that guests who require accessible seating arrive early to the venue and may convene near the Box Office. When it is time to open doors the venue will prioritize entry for our patrons that need a little extra time.

The venue is general admission/standing room only. However, we do have Premium Seating available in the mezzanine with purchase of a seating upgrade. You must already have purchased your GA tickets in order to be eligible to purchase a seat upgrade. This upgrade includes a reserved seat with premium sight lines, Fast Lane passes, and access to our private Jupiter Lounge. For inquiries on Premium Seating , please email us at ritzpremiumseating@livenation.com.

Fast Lane passes are an upgrade that you can purchase in addition to your general admission ticket.  (PLEASE NOTE: Fast Lane passes are not available for every show; If you are having trouble adding Fast Lane to your order, you may contact us by phone at (919) 424-1400 to check on availability for your show). Fast Lane passes allow you to skip the general admission line and head straight to the doors when the venue opens. These are available online and can be purchased in a bundle with your GA ticket or as an add-on to your GA ticket at a later time. We recommend arriving 20 to 30 minutes prior to scheduled doors to utilize your Fast Lane pass. Fast Lane passes are available until doors open. Please note that these are not concert tickets; you still need a general admission ticket to enter the venue.
