Plan Your Visit to Egyptian Theatre

How do I find the theatre?

The entrance is at 700 West Main Street, on the northwest corner of Main and Capitol. Make sure your directions point to Boise. Several venues in other cities use the Egyptian Theatre name. Use the venue contact page for box-office hours and any changes to the time the ticket window opens or closes on show days.

Where should I park near Main and Capitol?

Use Downtown Boise’s parking map for garages and metered spaces. Read posted rates and hours before leaving your vehicle. Opera Idaho describes a parking benefit for certain members attending its productions. That arrangement is specific to the presenter and should not be assumed for a concert or comedy show.

How should I choose seats?

Start with the chart and ticket types for your event. A touring show can have different seating instructions from a film screening or reading. If the purchase page offers a section or row without enough detail about access, contact the box office before buying. Keep the exact event name and date handy so staff can look up the correct setup.

Who can help with accessibility?

Ask the theatre box office about accessible seating, the route to your section and companion seating. For an Opera Idaho performance, the presenter also lists accessibility resources and ticket contacts. Confirm which organization handles the performance before calling, especially if you are asking about a service arranged by the presenter.

Are the rules the same for every performance?

Check your event’s instructions for doors, permitted items, ticket delivery and any age restrictions. The theatre hosts several different kinds of productions.
