Frequently Asked Questions About HI-FI

Counterfeit Tickets, Brokers & Resellers

To ensure a smooth entry to our shows, please purchase tickets only from our authorized ticketing partner, Tixr. As we recently transitioned from See Tickets to Tixr, there are some current shows with tickets available on both platforms, and we will honor valid tickets from either. Please note the emphasis on valid tickets, as we will not accept counterfeit or unauthorized tickets.

Beware of Third-Party Sellers
We strongly caution against buying tickets from third-party sources like Craigslist, Facebook, StubHub, Vivid Seats, or individual sellers. It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify ticket validity, and we cannot guarantee entry with tickets purchased outside of authorized channels. If counterfeit tickets are presented at the gate, our only option is to deny entry—a difficult decision, but necessary to maintain the integrity of our events.

Social Media Scams
We also recommend avoiding social media posts or comments from individuals claiming to have “2 extra tickets and can’t go.” Many scams involve reselling the same ticket to multiple buyers. If you have any concerns about ticket legitimacy, please reach out to our Box Office for guidance.

What are the age restrictions at this venue?
HI-FI’s age policy varies by event, with most shows open to guests of all ages. Please check the show listing to confirm if your event is all ages, 18+, or 21+. Alcoholic beverages are available for guests 21 and over with a valid, state-issued ID.

Security Screening

Any prohibited or illegal items found will be confiscated, and guests attempting to enter with such items may be denied entry or, if found inside the venue, may be subject to ejection.
What is the camera/photo policy for this venue?

The photo policy is determined by the artist and may vary each night. Generally, HI-FI does not permit professional photography unless pre-approved by the band. For approved photographers, photos are allowed during the first three songs only, with no flash permitted. Please note that the artist, not the venue, controls the photo policy for each show.

To request pre-approval for media credentials, please contact marketing@hifiindy.com at least 48 hours prior to the event.

Yes. Re-entry is permitted for HI-FI shows. Guests may be subject to security screening upon readmission.

If you are unable to attend the new date, refunds will be offered at the original point of purchase for 30 days after the rescheduled date. If you purchased tickets with cash at the box office, please contact our Box Office for instructions on processing your refund.

For assistance in these cases, please reach out to our Box Office.

Fountain Square Parking

Construction & Parking Update

Due to road closures and construction from DPW’s storm drain work, we’ve had to make some significant updates in our world. 

We have temporarily removed all of our pre-paid parking options from our site.  Until we have a full visual understanding of the work, our main parking lot will not be available for public parking.  We anticipate making changes frequently and reinstating this parking area once some of the work has been completed.  

We realize this may cause challenges when arriving at our venue.  Please refer to our Construction Updates page for more information including where to park and which roads will be closed.  We highly recommend arriving a little early for the show as many of the streets around the venue will be closed to through traffic.

We appreciate your patience as we navigate the challenges together. 

We are in the process of updating new parking maps with additional spaces we have been able have approved for parking. This will take effect on Monday March 2, 2026.  We are unsure how long this work will continue. It is likely this will last for the duration of the Summer. 

For now, please refer to this map which outlines approved parking locations for concerts.  Please note a few of them (Southeast Neighborhood Services and Arthurs) allows parking after their business have closed. 

Please be mindful when parking at other area businesses. We appreciate their support and want to minimize any impact on their business: No overnight parking, no loitering and no disturbances. 

Parking

Street Parking: Free parking is available on all surrounding streets in Fountain Square. Be aware of construction for the next few months and impact to traffic and parking. Arrive early!
LAZ Pay Lot: This lot is temporarily closed to the public during construction.  We will update you when we are able to reopen this section. 
No Parking Areas: Do not park in either of the St. Patrick’s Church parking lots
Bicycle Racks: Available outside the HI-FI and HI-FI Annex box offices as well as along Virginia Ave

Transportation

Rideshare and Drop-Off

Please note that the ride share drop off and pickup location will be changing during our neighborhoods construction phase.  See the map for the exact location, which is located on Woodlawn across from Bovaconti coffee. Uber and Lyft should have this updated in their systems.  Do not take the detour and try and drop off on St. Patrick.  That section is closed. 

Traffic Advisory

We recommend avoiding travel down St. Patrick St. (in between the HI-FI Annex and St. Patricks Church) on busy show days, as it can become congested with traffic from both directions on this narrow street.

By planning ahead, you can ensure a smoother experience when attending events at our venue.

IndyGo Red Line Bus

The IndyGo Red Line stop is located on the Northwest corner of Virginia Ave. & Woodlawn.  Check the IndyGo arrival and departure times, check IndyGo’s Bus Schedule
