Upcoming shows at The Masonic

The Masonic — know before you go

Is The Masonic wheelchair accessible (ADA access)?+

A fully accessible venue. The wheelchair entrance is to the right of the main doors; all restrooms, concessions, and merch stands are accessible, with elevators reaching the balcony, main floor, and restrooms. Accessible parking is in the Masonic Center Garage with elevator access to the lobby. Buy ADA tickets (wheelchair icon) online via Live Nation/Ticketmaster — reserved for fans with disabilities plus one companion. For GA events the accessible floor area is house-right, first-come. Request accommodations (e.g., ASL interpreter) via SFMasonic@LiveNation.com or 415.343.7582 at least two weeks ahead.

Does The Masonic have seating, or is it standing room?+

A configurable venue. Seated shows have tiered reserved levels — Orchestra (closest), Loge (mid), and Balcony (upper, budget-friendlier) — plus private side boxes. GA shows have a standing floor with tiered levels behind it, while the balcony is typically reserved seating via elevator. The floor gets you closest; boxes/balcony give guaranteed seating and elevated views. Buy early and use the interactive seat map.

Is The Masonic all ages?+

Generally all ages, but restrictions vary by event — check the event page. Children under 2 don't need a ticket but must sit on a caretaker's lap; everyone 2 and older needs a ticket.

What time do shows start and end at The Masonic?+

Doors typically open one hour before showtime (varies; no lining up before designated times). Based on recent setlist data, headliners often take the stage around 9:00–9:15pm with sets of ~80–90 minutes — typical, not guaranteed, so check your event page.

Can I avoid ticket fees at the The Masonic box office?+

Box office is inside the lobby (right of the bar), open 30 minutes before doors on show days plus Saturdays 10am–2pm. Will Call needs photo ID matching the purchaser. No phone orders. The venue doesn't publish a 'no fees in person' policy, so in-person fee savings aren't confirmed.

What are the bar, drink, and re-entry policies at The Masonic?+

Full-service bar in the lobby plus concession stands. No re-entry once you exit. Only factory-sealed, soft-sided water bottles are allowed (no hard bottles or Camelbaks); water fountains are on the main and balcony concourses. Standard coat check isn't offered to general attendees (it's included with the premium California Room upgrade).

Where can I park near The Masonic, and how do I get there?+

The Masonic has its own on-site Masonic Center Garage on California St, open 24/7 — space is limited, so buy parking in advance via Ticketmaster; accessible parking with elevator access to the lobby is available. Drop-off is the white zone on California St out front. Transit: the California St cable car stops at California & Taylor, steps away; the 1 California bus is nearby. Nearest BART is reached via Muni/cable car (e.g., Powell St), not adjacent.

Are there VIP or premium seating options at The Masonic?+

Per-show premium options include VIP box seats, club seats (in-seat service and club lounge access), private suites (~15–20 guests), and a California Room upgrade (private bar, coat check, downtown views). Sold via sfmasonic.com/upgrades when available.
