The Westcott Theater is a 700 capacity venue, located in Syracuse, NY, about 2 miles from Syracuse University.

In 2008, the theater was transformed from a movie cinema into the premiere live music venue in Upstate NY.  Now, in its third year, The Westcott Theater boasts an impressive lineup of national, regional and local acts. From bluegrass to hip-hop to metal, all genres of music are represented, making the Westcott a place for music lovers of all genres. This year, the Westcott has even expanded further than the music scene, hosting comedy troupes and movie viewings.

Answer
The Westcott is located at 524 Westcott St., Syracuse, NY. We are the same building that the Westcott Cinema used to occupy.
Question
When I get to The Westcott where can I park?
Answer
We have plenty of free parking around the venue for you. There is a lot directly behind the venue that you can park at, you can also park in the large lot behind Sabastino's and Domino's Pizza. There is also plenty of room on the street and side streets for you to park in as well, just be sure to read the signs around you to ensure that you're ok to park there. Please be respectful of our neighbors and don't leave trash in these lots. Just as a heads up, the lot in front of Dorian's is for their customers only and you will get towed if you park there.
Question
Where can I purchase tickets for upcoming concerts?

You can purchase tickets online at Thewestcotttheater.com. You can also get tickets for our shows at Soundgarden in Armory Square (Downtown Syracuse). If you want to avoid services fees all together, you can pick up tickets at The Westcott Theater box office during shows.
Question

Answer
We don't have set hours. We're normally there all day on show days and randomly on non-show days. Your best bet would be to give us a call.

Question
Does The Westcott have seating?
Answer
Not all the time. 95% of shows at the theater are standing room only. We do however offer limited seating on our comedy events and certain music events. If the show is partially seated it will say so on the website. Because of whatever circumstances if you cannot stand the entire show or you have a disability, let us know and we can make accommodations for you. Due to fire code, if the show is a half seated / half standing show we won't be able to pull out any extra chairs, so please purchase your seated tickets early.

Typically all shows at The Westcott Theater are all ages admitted. Occasionally, there are age restrictions. Please check the website to make sure.
