A NOTE ABOUT SEATING:

The Ship is a seating-limited music venue with room for over 350 people standing. We almost always have room for walk-ins, so advanced tickets are not required- just pay when you arrive. We offer full service at both bars with plenty of room to stand and dance. Table and bar seating is available if not already reserved.

The only way to guarantee a seat for the show and full table service for dinner and drinks is to purchase advanced tickets. We offer a mix of comfortable booths and high-top tables for up to 5 and we have one large table that can seat up to 14. We will hold your seats until 15 minutes after showtime.

Please understand that dancing is always encouraged and that the view from your table may be obstructed by others having a good time enjoying the show.
