Kansas City tickets

Kansas City is a small metropolis with a big heart. It lies along the Missouri River and it has a friendly, laid-back vibe. Perhaps it's most famous for its beer and its special style of barbecue, but it's also home to numerous museums and cultural treasures. And, if you're interested in buying some Kansas City theater tickets, you have quite a few top-notch locales from which to choose.

Kansas City venues

Attending a musical or a concert at the outdoor Starlight Theatre, which has a capacity of nearly 8,000 people, has been a quintessential Kansas City experience since 1951. If you go to that theater, keep an eye out for its Walk of Stars, which features the names of famous performers who've appeared there over the years.

If you love athletics, a pilgrimage to the Truman Sports Complex is a must. It includes Kauffman Stadium, the home of the Royals, and Arrowhead Stadium, headquarters for the Chiefs. Both facilities host bands and singers throughout the year, something to keep in mind when you're looking for Kansas City concert tickets at StubHub.

For its part, the Sprint Center is a massive downtown arena that presents college basketball games, wrestling matches, famous musicians, Disney ice shows and other productions.

First-time Kansas City visitors may be overwhelmed by all of its attractions, among them Memorial Park, the National World War I Museum, the science-oriented Museum at Prairiefire -- which is housed in an unforgettably dramatic building -- and the charming Legoland Discovery Center. Nevertheless, when you're there, it's a great idea to treat yourself to at least one world-class show.
