Kiva Auditorium

The Kiva Auditorium sits on the upper level of the Albuquerque Convention Center's West Complex in downtown Albuquerque — a proscenium stage fronted by half-round seating for 2,300, big enough for a touring headliner and intimate enough that the back row still feels close. George Lopez, Jerry Seinfeld, Eddie Vedder and Norah Jones have all played it, and the calendar runs the full range: standup and concerts alongside ballet, lectures and graduations. Ticketmaster is the exclusive ticketing agent for every ticketed show, and there are two box offices on site — a weekday window inside the convention center and a day-of-show window on the second floor in front of the auditorium that opens two hours before a Kiva event.
