Venue Logistics and Rules
The venue is located at 741 South Kilby Court in Salt Lake City, UT, situated at the end of a small street of the same name that begins at 700 South and approximately 350 West. Specifically, the venue occupies the south end on the east side of the street.
Facilities and Attendance
Kilby Court operates as a dry, all-ages venue, meaning no alcohol is served and no outside beverages are permitted. While the venue is an indoor facility, it features an outdoor patio and can open its side walls depending on the season or climate. The venue is a standing-room facility with limited seating options available, though designated seating can be arranged for guests with physical disabilities or special circumstances via management.
Ticketing and Payments
As a cashless venue, Kilby Court accepts card or mobile payments for ticket purchases at the door. All tickets are sold online-only prior to the show date, as the venue does not maintain a physical box office. While no refunds are provided unless an event is cancelled, tickets may be transferred to another person if the original purchaser contacts door staff with their confirmation email.
Security and Conduct Policies
The venue maintains strict safety and conduct rules, including a prohibition on weapons, drugs, illicit substances, and smoking inside the building. Additionally, moshing, crowd-surfing, and stage diving are not permitted. Security staff reserves the right to search bags, perform pat-down checks, and revoke entry for behaviors such as intoxication, belligerence, or engaging in hate speech.
