With two weeks of shows in larger theatres, like The Paramount Theatre, Bass Concert Hall, and The Thompson Theatre (at the Thompson Austin hotel on San Jacinto), and a 4-day comedy club binge from April 16-19, you have the ability to build your own fest experience.

• Headliners: Want to see a headliner at the Paramount or Stateside Theatres? You’ll receive an email the day your badge holder presale starts with instructions and links to purchase tickets to all of the shows you want to see. Unsubscribed from our mailing list? Give us a call at (512) 474-1221 to get back on the list so you don’t miss a show!
• Club Shows: To see shows during the 4-day comedy club binge, all you have to do is show up with your badge! No tickets or reservations necessary* to catch the hottest acts in intimate club settings.

If you’re heading to any headliner shows in Week 1 of the fest, all you’ll need is your ticket to the show.

For Week 2’s comedy club binge, a central badge pickup location downtown will open on Wednesday, April 16th. That way you can swing by to grab your badge before the first club show you see. Location and hours will be added and communicated to badge holders

Yes, but they will not be guaranteed entry. All badge holders will receive priority access to all club shows. Single ticket holders will be seated 10 minutes prior to the start of the show in remaining available seats. If no seats are available, ticket purchasers will be refunded. Club tickets will go on sale in April before the fest.

There is no age restriction on the festival as a whole and minors can purchase badges or single tickets to the Paramount shows. However, some of our Moontower venues are 18+ and, due to their liquor licensing/permit, are not able to let in underage patrons regardless of the event.

If you’re attending the first show of the night at the Paramount, Bass or Thompson, doors will open one hour before showtime. We recommend getting there early and enjoying a drink. After that, typically doors will open 30 minutes prior to showtime. Other venues will open doors 30 minutes before showtime for all shows. These are rules of thumb only and actual times may vary by venue depending on size.

All sales are final. There are no refunds on badges for any reason.

Volunteer registration for Moontower opens in December 2024! You can join the interest list to receive the application once it goes live.

Email info@austintheatre.org for inquiries regarding upgrading your badge. As long as the other levels are not sold out, we should be able to accommodate.

Thank for your interest in Moontower! Unfortunately, we do not take unsolicited requests for submissions.
