Reserving tickets: Most of Music Mondays' 300 seats are for those who just show up — but as a courtesy to our friends who work late, we set aside some advance reservations for general admission. All other seats are first come, first served and are available as early as 6:45pm, when the doors open. Please note that reservations are good for entrance only, not for specific seats. Reservations are void after 7:20pm.
