Ticket & Venue Information

Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre Series Headliner shows are held in the Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre (60 Gibbs St). These are ticketed shows; a Club Pass doesn't work here. Tickets, which range from $55 to $125 (plus service charges), are available through Ticketmaster (ticketmaster.com, 800-745-3000) or at the Auditorium Theater Box Office (885 E Main St, 222-5000).

Club Pass Series A Club Pass is your ticket to the Club Series: you can go to as many concerts as you'd like at 10 smaller clubs and venues (listed below). Club Passes for the 2010 XRIF have already sold out. If you don't have one, you can still buy tickets ($20-$25) to the Club Pass concerts at the door, if space is available. Be advised that Club Pass shows tend to sell out; even if you have a Pass, you should get there early.
