Guide to Austin Convention Center: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

Set in the heart of downtown Austin at 500 East Cesar Chavez St., the Austin Convention Center is a versatile hub for can't-miss live events. The modern complex welcomes everything from marquee festivals and trade shows to esports tournaments, live podcast tapings, concerts, and comedy showcases that bring touring stand-ups and rising comics to town. Its central location puts you steps from Lady Bird Lake, Rainey Street, and plenty of pre-show dining and nightlife.

Inside, flexible halls and ballrooms convert quickly for general admission floors, tiered reserved seating, and intimate theater-style setups. Expect pro-grade sound and lighting, spacious concourses, clear signage, and accessible entries and restrooms. Concessions feature local flavors, and nearby garages and rideshare zones make arrival simple. Capital Metro bus and rail stops are close, so getting to and from events is a breeze.

Whether you are catching a keynote, a gaming championship, or a night of stand-up during festival season, plan to arrive early for security screening and to explore on-site exhibits and merch. For an easy, secure way to get Austin Convention Center tickets, choose Vivid Seats for a great selection, verified options, and a 100% Buyer Guarantee that backs every order.
