Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive
Doors normally open one hour before the performance unless the event says otherwise. Allow time for the garage walk and admission. Regular box-office hours are separate from doors. Check children’s ticket terms for your performance, particularly if a young child will occupy a seat.
Transit & the journey home
Use 201 Market Street, Virginia Beach. The owner lists accessible main, Bank Street and Commerce Street entrances, with two elevators on the north/Bank Street side behind the box office. Accessible drop-off is on Commerce Street. Confirm the exact seating/companion allocation at 757-385-2787; some resident-company allocations require a box-office check. A hearing loop and limited ID-loan headsets are available in the main hall.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking
Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Free Town Center options with mixed time limits
- What to do
- The owner lists nearby free Town Center parking, including the Armada Hoffler garage entered from Town Center Drive or Central Park Avenue, Independence/Columbus garage, Cosmopolitan garage and adjacent lot. The adjacent lot includes two-hour and long-term spaces. Follow actual signs and restrictions for the entire performance; a blue map area is not blanket unrestricted parking.
- Best option
- Choose a permitted garage or long-term space from the current owner directions, then plan the walk to 201 Market Street. Arrange Commerce Street accessible drop-off when needed and check permit requirements for designated accessible spaces.
- Avoid
- Do not leave a car in a two-hour space for a longer show or assume every Town Center space has the same terms. Avoid routing only to a map’s 2018 parking marker without checking current entrance controls and signs.

MixedViewing and venue layout
Compare the owner’s numbered orchestra, mezzanine and balcony charts with its actual row-labelled photographic seat viewer. The separate venue tour shows room/entrance orientation. Confirm pit use and the precise accessible allocation rather than treating elevator access as a promise about every row.
Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere
Payment
Since June 1, 2026, Sandler BOX OFFICE and CONCESSIONS accept debit/credit, Apple Pay and Google Pay ONLY. Independent event vendors may accept cash at their discretion.
Water & drinks
Sandler’s specific FAQ allows ONE unopened, factory-sealed PLASTIC water bottle up to 20 ounces and bans Yeti/Stanley-style cups. Its general prohibited-items list also bans water bottles/mugs. Confirm the sealed-bottle exception for your show at 757-385-2787; do not assume empty/reusable bottles are allowed.
The experience
- Best for: Sandler visitors comparing numbered orchestra/mezzanine/balcony charts with real row-labelled sightline photos and arranging the right accessible allocation.
- Watch out for: Backpacks, outside food/alcohol and ordinary re-entry are prohibited. The current water-bottle FAQ specifically allows one factory-sealed unopened plastic bottle up to 20 oz; reusable Yeti/Stanley-style cups are not permitted. Since June 1, 2026 the box office and concessions accept cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay; independent event vendors may differ. Check your exact show’s camera and entry instructions.
Why It Works
- ✓Numbered level charts and verified row-labelled photos support specific seating comparisons.
- ✓The owner describes Bank/Commerce access, elevators and hearing-loop support.
- ✓Current guidance distinguishes free Town Center parking from two-hour restrictions.
Know Before You Book
- ×Pit use, available seats and the view from positions outside the selected photo locations can differ.
- ×Cashless box-office/concession payment, no re-entry and the specific water-bottle exception require preparation.
- ×A free parking option can still have a time limit, and the general map has an older reference date.
