1. Why can't I find an event on the website?

Below are a suggestions to help you with your search:

  • No performances are currently scheduled at Club Nokia or for the date or artist you may have selected.
  • Club Nokia will only list an event after all information is confirmed with artist management. Events are always listed in time to purchase tickets the day they are put on sale.
  • Check the proper spelling of the artist, band, or building. All words must be spelled correctly.
  • Check to see you entered the proper search type and the corresponding artist, city, zip, or building.
  • Make sure there is spacing between your words (e.g. John Hiatt, not johnhiatt)
  • Try a different search method. Search by city or zip instead of artist name or building name.
  • The event may not be officially promoted by Club Nokia, Goldenvoice or AEG Live. You may want to try finding the event on the band's official website or Ticketmaster.

12. I want to get as close to the stage as possible, how do I do that?

The closest area to the stage is the Pit Area. Our best suggestions are to:

  • Get to the venue as close to door time as possible, (or earlier).
  • Make sure to purchase floor GA Floor Tickets. (except when a show is sold as a Seated Floor, then seats are sold according to row, ex. A, B, C, D…)
  • Access to the pit (in front of the stage) is limited in number. For access to the pit, you must have the wristband designated by Club NOKIA Management. VIP/ Backstage/ All Access credentials do not give you access to the Pit Area.
  • Wristbands will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. Once all wristbands are distributed, no more will be allocated for that show.

13. The show is listed as "All Ages", but do you sell alcohol?

Club Nokia is an all ages venue. However, the facility does sell adult beverages.
The venue also has a VIP Lounge which is only for those patrons who have the proper ticket AND are 21+.

In accordance with California state law, Club Nokia can only accept an ID that:
  1. Is issued by a governmental agency (such as federal, state, county or city)
  2. Contains the name of the person
  3. Contains the date of birth of the person
  4. Contains a description of the person (these are called key indicators and include height, weight and eye color)
  5. Contains a photograph of the person
  6. Is currently valid (ie. not expired)

ALL of these criteria must be met to be considered a "bona fide" ID. And this ID is required for patrons to be permitted to purchase and/or consume alcohol at Club Nokia AND/OR access Club Nokia's VIP Lounge.
