While we offered a general admission section in the past, beginning with the 2025 event, we have eliminated general admission seating. The entire auditorium is now reserved seating. You can reserve single night seats anywhere in the auditorium with the exception of the Artist Circle. This is a new option beginning with the 2025 event. In the past, if you wanted single night seating, general admission was your only option. Now you can have a reserved single night seat.

Yes. However, the Artist Circle is only available as an all event pass (all four nights and all three matinees), but the remainder of the auditorium is now available for individual night reserved seating.

All sales are final. There are no refunds. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may occur between the time passes are purchased and the actual date of the event. You are welcome to sell or give your passes to anyone. Please understand that we do not receive the entire amount that you paid for seating. When an order is placed, there are several processing and handling fees that are non-refundable to us, regardless of the circumstance. We do try to work with you under extreme conditions prior to 2 months out, but please realize that within 60 days of the concert, we must be firm with our no refunds policy, as we likely can't resell that seat and we have made talent decisions based upon pre-sales for the event. Those funds have been committed toward paying certain talent bills. We want to be fair, but we simply must put a hard deadline to protect ourselves.

Each matinee requires a separate registration from the evening events. Further, all matinees feature reserved seating.

Registration for the MQS begins a year in advance. While attending the MQS, you can register for the following year at our registration area in the lobby. If you are a current seat holder, you can also request to be on a waiting list for seating upgrades. If better seats become available, you will be contacted about upgrading to those seats.

There are sections in the Cannon Center where seats have been removed and the vacant slots are available for those confined to a wheelchair. If you are confined to a wheelchair, it is best to place your order by calling 901-568-2389 and specify with the agent that you are wheelchair confined. They can let you know if any of those slots are available. The entire facility is handicapped accessible.

Scooters and mobility assisted devices may be used in the Cannon Center, and can be easily maneuvered. There are special areas where devices can be parked while you are in your seat.

The exhibit area is open to everyone who has a registration for the evening events for that particular day. The exhibit hall opens daily at 4:30pm. (Please note that the exhibit hall is also open during any matinee performance.)

There is a concession area serving a good selection of food and snacks. It is open during the matinees and evening concerts.
