PROTECT YOURSELF WITH SAFE TICKET BUYING PRACTICES FROM THE ADLER THEATRE

Third-Party Vendors Double or Even Triple Actual Ticket Prices

June 23, 2025

DAVENPORT, IA – In a continued effort to best inform the public, the VenuWorks-managed Adler Theatre wants to remind patrons that the ONLY authorized online ticketing platform is Ticketmaster.com or via the Ticketmaster app, or the Adler Theatre website, www.davenportlive.com, which will link you directly to Ticketmaster.

Not only do third-party vendors often double or triple the cost of what the actual ticket price should be, you risk receiving invalid tickets that the Adler Theatre is not able to honor, refunds not being returned for rescheduled or cancelled events, an inability to make changes to the purchase, and missing important show information that is distributed to ticket purchasers.

If one would prefer to avoid an online purchase entirely, tickets can be purchased in person at the Adler Theatre Box Office located at 136 E 3rd Street, Davenport, IA, 52801, which is open Monday – Friday from 10 AM until 5 PM.

“When acquiring tickets for events at the RiverCenter/Adler Theatre, be sure to make your purchases through the Davenportlive.com website. Any other online ticket distributor is through a third-party seller,” stated Lance Sadlek, Executive Director of the Adler Theatre. “Acquiring tickets from a third-party vendor is almost always more expensive and greatly limits your flexibility to do such things as exchange seats for an event.”

About Adler Theatre

The Adler Theatre, a jewel of classic architecture located within walking distance of the beautiful Mississippi River, has a wonderful history providing entertainment in the Quad-Cities. The Adler was born out of the 1926 RKO Orpheum theater, and still reflects its style with its gold leaf ceiling, crystal light fixtures and black ebony, walnut and marble detail. Much of that original movie theatre style remains and continues to recall the rich history of the Adler Theatre. Today, the Adler Theatre presents a diverse line-up of live, theatrical productions featuring celebrity headliners, first-rate Broadway shows, comedians, family-friendly performances, and more. Parking is available on-site and within close proximity.  Adler Theatre services include event coordination, catering, utilities, in-house audio-visual services, and decorating. Let the history of the Adler transport you, and make new memories to add to its brilliant tapestry with every show you attend. www.davenportlive.com/the-adler-theatre
