Entry 02 · The hall
Size, box office, the balcony
The resort gives a capacity of 500 to 2,500 depending on the setup; its capacity chart puts the Entertainment Centre at 18,000 square feet with 2,079 seats theatre-style (Entertainment page, capacity chart). You enter through the main entrance. The Ticketmaster box office is at the Casino Players Club desk, open daily 10 am to midnight, debit or credit only, final sale. The VIP balcony sits above the showroom entrance with its own bar, restrooms and numbered lounge chairs, and it's reached by two flights of stairs with no elevator (Venue FAQ).
Entry 03 · Rules
What to expect at the door
- All shows are 18+ unless the listing says otherwise; minors aren't admitted.
- Every bag is searched; large items aren't allowed in.
- One entry and exit; re-entry from the casino with a hand stamp and a ticket scan.
- No professional cameras, selfie sticks or video recorders.
- No food is sold at most shows, so eat first. The resort's restaurants are a corridor away.
- Accessible seating: request it through Ticketmaster or at the box office, or call 780-930-2562 ahead of the show.
Entry 04 · Getting home
The designated-driver wristband
Ask any food and beverage staff member for a green designated-driver wristband and you get free fountain pop or water all night. Staff are trained under Alberta's ProServe program and The Venue is Best Bar None accredited. The better plan, if you're drinking, is the elevator: book a room upstairs. The second-best is a taxi from the casino's front entrance.
Entry 05 · Watch parties
When the show is on a screen
For big games and fights, The Venue sets up round tables for watch parties: boxing, UFC, NFL, CFL, NHL playoffs. The Grey Cup party on 15 November is the current example. Food is sold at events like these when the listing says so; at most concerts it isn't.
