We do not validate parking or offer valet.

Valet parking is available at Hotel Teatro for $15, as an early birthday present to celebrate Dazzle moving in 2023. Pull up to The Hotel Teatro’s front entrance (across Arapahoe from Dazzle on 14th), their Valet will park your car and give you a receipt. Have the receipt stamped at a Dazzle show (subject to availability). You pay at the Hotel front desk after the show. Tipping is appreciated.

Technically, all of the parking spots in front of Dazzle are loading and unloading only after 5 PM, but there is no guarantee that no one parks there. Starting July 17, 2024 construction will begin on the space next door to us. The city will be strictly enforcing the loading zone, and bagged meters directly in front of Dazzle, towing anyone parking there.

VenuePilot is our ticketing platform for concert attendance. Ticket links are provided on each respective event page on our website. We request that you purchase your ticket(s) for an event online via our website. We do not process sales over the phone.

Most shows are assigned seats, with seats chosen when buying tickets.

Yes, there is a minimum two-item food & beverage purchase at all performances (one item for people under 19). Your ticket purchase supports the artists; your food & beverage purchase supports the venue.

In most cases we allow all ages until 11:00PM. After 11:00PM we are 21 and up only, in accordance with Colorado Liquor Law.

First, please note that kids are not free for the following shows:

-Kids’ Saturday Matinee

-Sunday Brunch

-Charlie Brown Christmas with the Annie Booth Trio & Friends

To add a kid onto your reservation, email Host@DazzleDenver.com with the reservation number. If the seat next to you is available, we will reserve it for you. You will receive a confirmation email.

We prefer that you purchase tickets online, in advance. If seats are still available for show, they can be purchased at the door.

When you purchase tickets for a concert via our website, you DO NOT need to make additional reservations.

The majority of Dazzle’s shows feature top local talent. The list of touring shows is here and is updated regularly.

Dazzle utilizes a tiered seating model for most shows. Prices vary based on your proximity to the stage. Please note that we have outfitted the space with several zones of sound reinforcement, so the sound should be great from anywhere you sit.

ALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL. No refunds on tickets. This is a standard policy shared by all music venues, and there’s one easy explanation – your money goes to pay the artists, and is out of our hands once the event has occurred.

With that said, we are a small, independent venue and have been known to allow exchanges. If you need to exchange tickets, you will have to buy tickets for the show you want to switch to, and then request a refund for your already purchased tickets. Example: you have tickets for the 7PM show and wish to attend the 9PM show instead, (or go a different day), you will have to buy tickets for the 9PM show and then request a refund for your 7PM tickets. Send refund requests to host@dazzledenver.com

For sold-out shows, there is generally a wait list for available space in the main listening room. The wait list is only generated IN-HOUSE one hour prior to the show – and patrons must be physically at the venue to be on the waitlist. If there are openings, we will begin seating waitlist patrons 15 minutes after a show begins. 

The bar area and Piano Lounge are first come, first served, including standing availability. The music can be heard from here. Please note that talking MAY NOT be allowed in this area during a LISTENING performance. This varies greatly by show and is up to management’s discretion, unless otherwise noted in the show’s description.

We are a jazz club and occasionally improvise some sold-out shows, by converting the bar area and piano lounge into ticketed seats.

On several of our performances, we offer a discounted ticket for students and teachers with a valid school ID. If you do not see a discounted ticket listed on the ticket page, then it is not currently available. In the event of low ticket sales, we do run ticket promotions for students/teachers within the week leading up to the performance.

Gift cards are not compatible with our online ticketing sales system. To use your gift card for tickets, email deborah@dazzledenver.com, we will reserve your seats and your ticket price will be added to the final bill at the end of the show. You can pay the final bill with your gift card. You can also use your gift card to pay for food and drinks while at the venue.

The rocks on the table symbolize community being the foundation of Dazzle. When a new building is built, there is always a cornerstone placed first. The rest of the building is built upon that cornerstone. As we opened Dazzle at the Arts Complex, we asked our community to bring in rocks to symbolize that they – the community – is the cornerstone of Dazzle.

Due to the size of our listening room and the audience’s closer proximity to the stage, Dazzle encourages attendees who may be concerned about their hearing to bring earplugs to shows. Dazzle’s audio engineers work to ensure that the level of each performance is comfortable, but the volume from the stage in combination with our sound reinforcement might exceed attendees’ comfort levels. Dazzle has earplugs upon request and our staff will work to accommodate guests that would like to move from their original seats, if the volume is uncomfortable for them.
