Temple University's arena on North Broad Street, home of Temple basketball, concerts and family shows, and a 2024 KultureCity Certified Sensory Inclusive Venue with sensory bags and quiet spaces.
Open for events. For most events, doors open one hour before the event time; check the event page for the exact time. Box Office (inside the Broad Street Entrance): Monday to Friday 10 am to 4 pm; Saturday and Sunday closed, but open on event days. Parking lots open two hours before the scheduled event time.
The arena's KultureCity page has a 13-part social story about the Liacouras Center you can read with your kid ahead of time. Sensory bags can be borrowed and hold noise-canceling headphones and fidget tools, and a friendly staff member can help find a seat or the closest restroom.
The 200 Level is reached only by stairs. For seats that don't need stairs, the arena asks you to email liacourascenter@spectraxp.com.
Wheelchair escorts are available by stopping at the Box Office (at the Broad Street Entrance) during the event.

Tickets are priced per event, plus taxes and facility fees that vary by event and aren't always in the advertised price; online purchases add service charges. All sales are final, with no refunds or exchanges. Upgrades may be possible, at the Box Office's or promoter's discretion, and fees may apply. If an event is canceled, credit cards are refunded automatically; if you paid cash, go to the Box Office for a refund. Order charges and delivery fees are non-refundable.
Unless a promoter says otherwise, children 2 and younger don't need a ticket as long as they sit on a lap; check the event page.
