Neal S. Blaisdell Center

The Neal S. Blaisdell Center is Honolulu's city-owned performing arts and events complex, a full block of venues at 777 Ward Avenue between downtown and Waikiki. Under one roof it runs the 8,800-seat Blaisdell Arena, the 2,158-seat Concert Hall — longtime home of the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra and Hawaiʻi Opera Theatre — the 65,000-square-foot Exhibition Hall, and the Hawaiʻi Suites meeting rooms. Operated by the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Enterprise Services, it is the island's main room for arena- and theatre-scale touring acts: upcoming bills include Jo Koy, John Mulaney, Tom Segura, Nurse John and Tumua, alongside Death Cab for Cutie, A Perfect Circle, WWE, the touring Broadway run of The Book of Mormon, Ballet Hawaii's Nutcracker and the Hawaiʻi Symphony's season. Tickets sell through the on-site box offices and Ticketmaster's statewide network, and the Center provides barrier-free access to all of its public areas.
