State Theatre New Jersey Tickets: Events, Seating, and Booking

The official events calendar is the place to check performances and their details. State Theatre New Jersey is between George Street and New Street in downtown New Brunswick.

Start by choosing a performance, then review its event page for details such as sensory notices and any performance-specific information. The theatre’s seat charts apply to most events, but checking the listing for your chosen show helps you plan around its particular arrangements.

You can buy State Theatre New Jersey tickets through STNJ.org, by calling 732-246-7469, or in person at Guest Services, 15 Livingston Avenue.

Guest Services answers calls and emails Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., and welcomes in-person visitors Tuesday through Friday, noon–4:30 p.m. On weekends, it is open at least three hours before State Theatre-presented performances; hours may differ for rental events and holidays. Check the official site before you go.

Approved sellers sometimes include Goldstar, Groupon, TDF, and TodayTix. The theatre cautions against buying from non-accredited ticket sources. NJ TRANSIT customers and employees can receive a 20% discount on select shows by showing proof of ridership or employment when they arrive at the venue.

Read the ticket terms before completing your order: tickets are nonrefundable unless a show is postponed or cancelled, or optional ticket protection was purchased with the original order.

For postponed or cancelled shows, ticket holders have 30 days from the original notification to donate tickets, exchange them for a State Theatre gift certificate, or receive a refund of ticket value and associated fees. The venue does not offer ticket exchanges, apart from a stated exception for certain President’s Council members.

Seat maps for the Orchestra and Balcony levels can help you compare locations before booking. The main auditorium has wheelchair locations and companion seats in the front, middle, and rear Orchestra, as well as the front Balcony; these seats are first ordered, first served.

Orchestra seating is accessible for patrons with limited mobility. An elevator serves the Balcony, Studio, VIP Lounge, and second-floor restrooms, though most Balcony seats require climbing steps. A courtesy wheelchair is available on request at the Concierge Desk, and staff can assist from the front door to your seat. The theatre lists wheelchair-accessible restrooms on all levels.

For assistive listening, you can borrow a headset at Coat Check with a driver’s license or credit card as a deposit, or use the WaveCAST app with your own phone and headphones.

Audio description and ASL interpretation are available by request for certain performances, with at least three weeks’ and two weeks’ notice respectively. Large-print and Braille programs can be requested at least two weeks ahead for events with printed programs.

Some performances are designated sensory-friendly. Their event pages list sensory notices, and the venue offers a quiet area, earplugs, sensory bags, weighted blankets, and headphones. Service animals are welcome; the theatre requests 48 hours’ advance notice by email if possible.

The lobby typically opens one hour before a performance, and performances typically start at the time printed on your ticket. Every person attending needs a ticket or lap voucher; lap vouchers are available for children 11 months and younger at select performances.

Outside food and drink are not allowed, though the theatre has a bar and concessions. If you need an accommodation, make arrangements in advance when the venue’s policy specifies advance notice.
