We sell tickets for most Casbah shows through our online ticketing system - www.casbahtickets.com. You can also charge by phone at 888-512-7469. Service charges are between $2.00 - $4.50 depending on ticket price. When you purchase tickets online or by phone we recommend that you select the will call option - your name will be on a list at the door and you don't have to worry about your tickets showing up in the mail, or losing them, or the dog eating them, or anything like that - simply show up, ask for your name on will call and you're all set. Just like that.

For shows outside the Casbah we try to offer tickets at www.casbahtickets.com whenever possible. Some venues, such as Spreckels, House of Blues, 4th&B have contracts with other ticketing companies and tickets for those shows are on sale at Ticketmaster. You can usually avoid service charge by purchasing direct from the venue. We always try and include a link to buy tickets for shows at these venues on our website.
