At Rockefeller and John Dee, doors usually open at 7:00 PM on weekdays and Sundays, and at 8:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Sentrum Scene typically opens its doors at 7:00 PM every day. However, this may vary from event to event. Always check the exact opening times by clicking on each individual event and your online ticket for updated and accurate information.

Unless otherwise specified, the standard procedure is for the supporting act to begin approximately 1 hour after the doors open and the main artist approximately 1 hour after support starts. If there is no supporting act, the main artist usually performs about 1.5 hours after the doors open. Please note that these times may vary. It's recommended to arrive well in advance of the event start time to avoid queues.

Most concerts last between 90 to 120 minutes. When multiple bands perform on the same night, concerts tend to be longer. On weekdays and Sundays, we aim to schedule shows to accommodate the audience's access to public transportation.

All our venues can remain open until 3:30 AM (beverage service ends at 3:00 AM), but some events may end earlier based on when concerts or similar events conclude, as well as per the requirements or preferences of artists and organizers.

Tickets

Companion Passes unfortunately do not grant free entry to events at Rockefeller, John Dee, or Sentrum Scene. All attendees, including companions, can purchase standard tickets via Ticketmaster. For some events at Sentrum Scene, there is a dedicated ticket category for wheelchair spaces and companions. If applicable, this will be stated in the event information on Ticketmaster.

If you use a wheelchair, are unable to stand during the event due to health reasons, or require other accommodations and have a disability certificate or medical documentation, please contact us via email as early as possible, and no later than 1 business day before the show. This allows us to plan accordingly and provide the best possible accommodations. For weekend events, please ensure you contact us by Friday at 4:00 PM at the latest.

To secure the best possible accommodation, we recommend that attendees using wheelchairs or with health-related challenges arrive early, preferably when doors open. Please note: There is a limited number of wheelchair spaces at all three venues.

At Rockefeller, patrons using wheelchairs will receive assistance from our staff at the main entrance and be guided up the slope to the concert venue. Elevator usage can also be arranged in advance via email or phone. 

Due to fire safety regulations, wheelchairs are not allowed on any of the balconies at Rockefeller. A limited number of manual wheelchairs are permitted on an elevated platform on the left side of the concert hall during each event. Staff will assist access using a mobile ramp to this platform. For safety reasons, electric/motorized wheelchairs are placed in front of the stage, either on the right or left side.

Rockefeller provides two universally designed restrooms: one in the Loungebar (the side room to the right of the stage) and another located under the staircase in the main hall. Please contact our staff for assistance.

The closest accessible parking bay is in Badstugata between Torggata and Mariboes gate (around the corner from Rockefeller's main entrance). Accessible parking card is required.  

At Sentrum Scene, patrons with wheelchairs enter through the regular main entrance. Directly contact the door staff upon arrival. There are no stairs or obstacles leading to the wheelchair-accessible area. The accessibility of Sentrum Scene and its surrounding areas has been developed in collaboration with the Norwegian Association of the Blind, Norwegian Association of the Disabled, the Central Senior Citizens' Council, and the Joint Organization for the Disabled.

A separate balcony on the gallery level reserved for a total of four wheelchairs offers excellent visibility of the stage and good acoustics. Priority is given to wheelchairs over companions in these spaces, however, we strive to accommodate preferences and needs. We cannot guarantee that companions and patrons in wheelchairs will sit together, but we make every effort to satisfy and adjust. Those who have contacted us in advance will be given priority. Please note that wheelchairs are not allowed in the main hall due to fire safety regulations.

Unfortunately, the accessible restrooms at Sentrum Scene can only be reached via stairs or an elevator. Please contact the staff at the main entrance, who will guide you to a universally designed restroom through a back passage and elevator. For safety reasons, unsupervised transport of wheelchairs in the main staircase in the audience area is not permitted.

John Dee has a universally designed entrance via Mariboes gate 1. Please contact the door staff for assistance upon arrival. The regular entrance for the audience is usually through 'Kjøkkenet,' entrance Mariboes gate 5A.

Wheelchairs are typically placed next to the soundboard at John Dee. The soundboard, located in the middle of the venue and at a higher level than the area in front of the stage, offers excellent visibility of the performance.

There is access to a universally designed restroom at John Dee in 'Kjøkkenet.' Please contact the staff for assistance.

Norske Kulturarrangører (Norwegian Cultural Organizers) has created the 'Concert Etiquette Rules,' with the aim of providing the audience with the best possible experience through ten simple pieces of advice.

Any behavior that endangers oneself or others, including violations of Norwegian law, throwing objects, or other irresponsible actions, will result in being denied access to the premises.

Take care of your hearing! There is sometimes high noise levels in our venues. Earplugs are available at the bars.

Familiarize yourself with our escape routes. See information in the building. 

1. Pack smart and dress for the conditions


It is not allowed to bring sharp and heavy objects (umbrellas, bottles, cans, etc.) to concerts. Most concert organizers prohibit the use of professional recording and camera equipment. Dress practically and according to the weather conditions. Wear comfortable shoes. Ensure your mobile phone is fully charged.

Use public transportation, walk, or bike to the concert if possible. The concert area is most pleasant when everyone helps keep it clean and contributes to waste sorting.

Get an overview of the location of toilets, food service, first aid, and emergency exits. This way, you'll know where to go if the need arises.

Use earplugs and take breaks from loud music.

Do not contribute to crowding in lines or in front of the stage. Move to the side or diagonally backward if you want to exit the crowd. Be aware of areas with high concentrations of people, such as food service areas, toilets, and entrances/exits. Respect those who want to enjoy the concert and listen to the music – limit loud chatter.

Eat well and drink plenty of water. If you're not feeling well, it's never too late to step out.

Do not play rough and avoid getting involved in situations that could become dangerous. Alert security if you notice anything uncomfortable or if you're concerned.

Excessive alcohol consumption diminishes your and others' concert experience. Know when to stop.

Let friends know if you're leaving the concert and inform them of your destination. Consider arranging a designated meeting point in case you get separated.

Follow instructions from the organizers and security personnel.
