Launched in April, the Artemis II mission was humanity’s first trip to the moon since 1972. The mission slingshotted four astronauts around the moon, breaking Apollo 13’s record for the farthest distance humans have ever traveled from Earth.

The Aug. 3 event will “celebrate the Rocky Mountain Region’s contributions to NASA’s Artemis II mission,” .

Doors will open at 8 a.m. for a STEM fair on the venue’s top plaza, and the Artemis II crew — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen — will take the stage from 9:30 to 11 a.m.

During their section of the program, the Artemis II crew will show highlights from their mission to space, including views of the moon and previously unseen footage, before opening up to questions from the audience about what it’s like to live and work in space.

“Arrive early to enjoy a STEM Fair on the Red Rocks Top Plaza before the program and meet some of the aerospace industry’s leading companies, community organizations, and educators,” Red Rocks officials wrote in the event announcement.

. Tickets are free, but AXS charges a $1 processing fee.

The Artemis II mission flew in a spacecraft designed and engineered at Lockheed Martin in Jefferson County. The launch vehicle that propelled the craft was designed and built by in Centennial, in partnership with Boeing. ULA also supplied the launch system for Artemis I.

Lockheed Martin has been involved in the Artemis program for roughly 15 years and was the prime contractor for the Artemis I spacecraft, which launched in 2022. The 25-day crewless mission was the first step in preparation for landing people on the moon again, .

NASA already has next Artemis flight in its sights following astronauts’ triumphant moon flyby

Friday-Sunday. One of Colorado’s biggest and most vibrant cultural gatherings returns this weekend with the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, celebrating its 35th year. The event, which typically draws about 150,000 total visitors and acts as a dividing line for summer in Denver, this year features 265 juried artists, live music, kids’ activities, food and drinks, and more.

The sea of white tents with paintings, sculptures, carvings, ceramics, custom glass, and other art will be set up in the Cherry Creek North neighborhood on 2nd Avenue from Clayton to Adams streets, and between 2nd and 3rd avenues from Detroit to Adams streets.

Admission is free and all-ages for the Friday, June 3-Sunday, June 5 event. (Note: it’s entirely cashless this year). See more details and side events from nonprofit producer CherryArts at .

Andrea Gibson tribute at Red Rocks

Sunday. Late, beloved Boulder poet Andrea Gibson, the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary “Come See Me in the Good Light,” will be celebrated with an agreeably stacked Red Rocks Amphitheatre lineup on Sunday, July 5. The multimedia show includes a screening of her final live performance in 2024 at the Paramount Theatre (dubbed “Love Letter from the Afterlife”) plus live sets from the Colorado Symphony, Megan Falley, Sara Bareilles and Chris Pureka, with guest conductor and composer Blake Neely.

Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show, presented in association with the Sundance Film Festival, are $75.20-$200 via  — and still available as of press time. Red Rocks is located at 18300 W Alameda Parkway in Morrison. Visit for more details.

Comedy crusher Nathan Lund

Friday. Among Denver’s best comedic exports, Nathan Lund is returning from places far-flung (in this case, Trinidad) to headline Comedy Works downtown for only the second time. A member of the acclaimed, DIY group The Fine Gentleman’s Club (which reunites for Denver’s High Plains Comedy Fest most years), Lund is a deceptively breezy stand-up and podcaster who can turn explosive on a dime, switching between knowingly self-aggrandizing and hilariously harried; see his excellent 2023 special “Soup’s On.”

Lund headlines Denver’s Comedy Works downtown, 1226 15th St., at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 3. Tickets, $27 including fees, were still available as of this writing. See for more.

Mixed Taste at MCA

Wednesday-Aug. 26. There’s simply nothing else like the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver’s Mixed Taste lecture series. Playful, bizarre, grim, curious, gross, confounding and delightful topics mingle unpredictably on the same bill, with predictably fun results. The series is running this year on Wednesdays, July 8 through Aug. 26 at MCA Denver’s Holiday Theater, but you’d do well to get tickets for future shows now, since sell-outs are not unusual.

So what’s on tap? July 8 unites “Synesthesia and the Denver Omelet,” while “Cuba and Andy Warhol” tag teams on July 15, plus much more. Tickets for the lectures, which typically run 7-9 p.m. at 2644 W. 32nd Ave. in Denver, are $6.55 for students and $22.28 for adults. Visit for more details. ]]> 7794036 2026-07-02T06:00:29+00:00 2026-07-01T14:54:30+00:00 /2026/06/24/denver-concert-tickets-resale-axs-ticketmaster/ Wed, 24 Jun 2026 12:00:10 +0000 /?p=7500036 Concert season is in full swing, with promoters continuing to announce big new shows every week at top metro-area venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Ball Arena, the Fillmore Auditorium and Mission Ballroom.

But with tickets for many big shows starting at $80-$100 and running up beyond $200 and higher for basic seats, it’s a budget calculation most fans didn’t need to make a few years ago.

Promoters blame record demand and point out that a concert is on par with other nights out in terms of cost. But concerns about hidden service fees, inflated prices and monopolistic behavior continue to dog the concert industry, as they have for decades.

That’s lately reinforced by the jury-trial verdict in April that found Live Nation, the owner of Ticketmaster, held an anticompetitive monopoly through every aspect of concerts, from booking to taking a cut of nacho and popcorn sales at venues. The jury found Ticketmaster had overcharged consumers in 22 states, including Colorado.

Despite the Live Nation settlement, ticket prices will likely in 2026, according to music analysts and trade publications. So what’s a fan to do?

Here are some things to consider next time you find yourself in an online queue.

Who sells official tickets for Denver’s top concert venues

Denver and the rest of the Front Range are busy music markets where fans can enjoy concerts at venues ranging from tiny clubs and halls to massive amphitheaters and stadiums. Because of that variety, it’s important to know which ticket company is the official vendor for each, since you’ll get the best price from the get-go.

In Denver, AXS — owned by Colorado billionaire Philip Anschutz and his AEG Presents company — is the biggest player. AXS is the official seller for city-owned venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and downtown’s Bellco Theatre. It also controls Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, Mission Ballroom, the Denver Coliseum, and historic theaters like the Ogden, the Gothic and the Bluebird.

Denver is also the rare market where music promoter Live Nation doesn’t dominate bookings, but its company, Ticketmaster, still has a sizeable foothold here. It sells tickets for huge concerts at sports venues such as Empower Field at Mile High and Coors Field, where some big names, Paul McCartney and Billy Joel, recently played. Ticketmaster is also the official vendor for Ball Arena, the Fillmore Auditorium, the Paramount Theatre, LoDo’s Summit Music Hall and Marquis Theater, Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox, and a handful of nightclubs.

But here’s one of the places where things get confusing. Ticketmaster occasionally sells tickets for shows at Red Rocks — see the Cement Gardens concert on Oct. 11 — and even resells tickets for Mission Ballroom, despite it being owned by AEG Presents. The venue is technically a rental for both AEG and Live Nation, since it’s owned by the city.

Official after-market ticketing

Ticketmaster is currently selling tickets to shows at Coors Field, including singer-songwriter Noah Kahan (Aug. 8-9), despite the fact that both shows are sold out. How can that be? Because Ticketmaster’s site also allows people to In this case, Kahan is using the company’s Face Value Exchange “to help fans get tickets at the original price,” according to Ticketmaster’s website. “Tickets will be non-transferable and can only be resold on Ticketmaster at face value.” That’s all well and good, but when the only resale tickets available start above $350, your eyes may start to water.

Basically, if you’re going to a show like Bruno Mars (who is also using the Face Value Exchange) at the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Falcon Stadium Sept. 26-27, your first stop should be the official ticket seller, in this case, Ticketmaster. But since it’s sold out, you’re also going to see that tickets start above $350 and range up to more than $1,200 per seat on Ticketmaster, given that they’re resale tickets. That’s comparable to what StubHub, for example, also has on sale for that show. If you want to guarantee your ticket is legit, you’re better off buying from Ticketmaster.

Ticketing fees, explained

Ticketing fees are standard for most shows, but here in Colorado, you’re at least guaranteed to see the full price while shopping around. That’s after Gov. Jared Polis in 2024 passed the Consumer Protection in Event Ticket Sales bill, which requires both primary sellers, such as AXS and resellers (on any site), to show you the full price of the ticket from the start. The law also protects buyers of resold tickets, expands the availability of refunds, and bans look-alike websites and deceptive social media posts.

Ticketmaster and AXS are comparable when it comes to ticketing fees, which can make up 25% of the purchase price, so you won’t see a significant difference there. That does, however, mean that a $60 general admission ticket to Suki Waterhouse’s July 28 concert at the Fillmore Auditorium was actually closer to $45 before for facility maintenance, revenue-sharing with venues and artists, and customer service.

Smaller, legitimate ticketing companies such as charge much lower fees, although their events are usually at much smaller venues. In Denver, that’s 3.7% of the purchase price, plus an extra $1.79 per ticket. Eventbrite also charges a fee of 2.9% of the total order for payment processing. That is still far lower than the 25% markup from Live Nation and AXS.

How to spot fake websites

Whether you’re looking for an original or resale ticket, don’t just buy from the first link that appears on a Google search. Sellers such as Event Tickets Center, for example, appear as sponsored ads above primary sellers such as AXS. Most resellers are counting on you not to notice the difference, even if sites such as Box Office Ticket Sales and Go Tickets offer 100% authenticity guarantees. (ETC also said it alerts consumers that it’s a re-seller every step of the way).

The best-known and most visible resale sites include StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, TickPick, CashorTrade and Gametime (that last one for sporting events). Some advertise fee-free purchases, such as TickPick, and will match lower offers if you can find them. But if there are other fees, resellers are required to show them up front.

Not all are created equal. In April, third-party resale site with the Federal Trade Commission, which said it was “deceptively advertising ticket prices on its website without clearly and conspicuously disclosing upfront how much consumers actually would pay, including all mandatory fees.” The company also refunded $3 million in fees to Colorado ticketholders in 2021, following a lawsuit brought by state attorneys general.

If you’re determined to buy a resale ticket, compare prices from both official sellers and third-party websites to get a sense of their true range. A standing-room-only ticket for Liz Phair and Sleater-Kinney at the Fillmore Auditorium on Sept. 14, for example, costs $64.75 on Ticketmaster, fees included. On resellers SeatGeek and StubHub, it’s more like $80 to $100 for the same ticket. In this case, you should buy from Ticketmaster, especially since the show’s not sold out. Because when it is, all the prices jump up across the board.

What if it’s sold out?

Tickets to popular shows tend to sell out instantly, often confusing and frustrating buyers who thought they were at the front of the virtual line. There’s little to be done about that outside resale tickets, but you’re likely to get better prices if you can wait until just before the show, when resellers, third-party websites, and scalpers are desperate to turn a profit. At that point, you may also get them for less than face value, since they’d rather sell them at a loss than not at all.

The same advice overall applies here: compare official resale sites vs. third-party sites for the best price, and beware sellers who are charging far more than the average. You can also try to connect directly with sellers through social media or forums such as Reddit, but there are restrictions on commercial activity on public sites. You’re also shedding the consumer protections that are available on most sites when you buy from someone directly, so consider the risk.

All ticketing services, even resellers, require accounts with email addresses, and the big ones (Ticketmaster, AXS) have apps you can download to manage your passes. That’s not a bad thing when you’re the first to get cancellation or rescheduling notices, with details on automatic refunds and other options. Promoters also often “release” tickets they’ve reserved as the event gets closer, so be sure to check from time to time if you got shut out initially.

In-person buying options

If you want to go old-school and pick up mobile or paper tickets in person (and therefore shave off some of the fees), the AXS ticket window is open for limited hours on Saturdays at the Denver Coliseum, Mission Ballroom and the Ogden Theatre, and some weekdays. Be sure to check the hours on their respective website.

Ticketmaster has more limited windows for pre-purchased tickets (i.e., not on the day of the show), with the main location at Empower Field at Mile High.

The venue received word on Monday afternoon around 4:30 p.m. that Stewart’s shows, slated for Monday and Tuesday, “are postponed,” said Brian Kitts, a spokesman for Denver Arts & Venues, the city agency that oversees the Morrison venue.

Every 2026 Red Rocks Amphitheatre show announced (so far)

The decision to postpone the shows was made after Stewart visited the Colorado Voice Clinic on Monday and was prescribed vocal rest, according to a statement from show promoter Live Nation.

"Evaluation revealed significant inflammation and strain of the vocal folds, making it impossible for him to safely perform without the risk of further injury and potential long-term damage to his voice," the statement said. "Rod is deeply disappointed and sincerely apologizes to his fans for this inconvenience. He looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as he is medically cleared."

The shows have been rescheduled for Sept. 2 and Sept. 3, 2027, and tickets already purchased will be valid for the new date, Live Nation said.

Red Rocks had been expected to celebrate the 85th anniversary of its June 15, 1941, grand opening and dedication on Monday, .

"We're always disappointed to lose a show. But, Red Rocks is forever, and the 85th anniversary season is more than 200 shows long with the party continuing through November," Kitts told The Denver Post.

Last Friday, the 81-year-old British pop icon and “Forever Young” singer had been expected to perform in Chula Vista, Calif., near San Diego, but the show was canceled about 40 minutes before it had been slated to start, .

Stewart's publicist cited "an acute upper respiratory infection that has resulted in laryngitis.”

Stewart that he was flying to Boston to see Scotland play in the World Cup, drawing criticism from fans.

With fourteener season approaching, I’ve got a suggestion if you’re looking for a great hike to prepare your quads, hamstrings, knees and ankles for the rugged trails found on our highest peaks. And you can’t beat the convenience of the location.

Overlooking Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Mount Morrison tops out at nearly 7,900 feet with 2,000 feet of elevation gained in less than 2 miles. That means it’s steep and remarkably similar to conditions you’ll face on fourteeners — minus the high altitude, of course.

You may have admired it from the upper concourse at Red Rocks, longing to hike it despite posted “No trepassing” signs. The peak isn’t off limits, though. The trailhead is located at Red Rocks Park’s Entrance 4, located about a half mile west of Morrison. The trail to the summit ascends the mountain’s south ridge.

It is not an easy hike. Leave the kids at home. Dogs are prohibited.

“It����ap not a family-friendly hike,” said Kristoph Kinzli, a professor at Colorado School of Mines whom I met recently on the trail. “That����ap actually why it����ap great as a fourteener training hike. It����ap rugged, it����ap a difficult hike, you get a lot of loose rock. It����ap for avid hikers and mountaineers for training.”

Kinzli, an avid fourteener hiker who teaches civil and environmental engineering at Mines, hits that trail seven or eight times a year for training.

“It����ap fairly comparable to some of the elevation gain you get (on fourteeners) when you’re getting over 1,000 feet per mile,” Kinzli said. “There’s nothing else like that, real close to Denver. I’ve met people who do it to train for really big mountains, and they’ll do it three times back-to-back in the same day. I’ve seen people with massive packs who are training for Denali or (peaks) in South America.”

That morning, Chatfield High School held its graduation ceremony in the amphitheater. Halfway up the ridge, we could hear Pomp and Circumstance. On the way down, we heard the names of graduates being read as they received their diplomas.

Mount Morrison has some history, too. A cog railway to the summit opened in 1909, followed by similar sightseeing inclines on Lookout Mountain (1912) and South Table Mountain (1913). All three were defunct by 1920, though, in part because the automobile road to the top of Lookout was completed in 1913. The lower terminal of the Mount Morrison Incline was located near what is now the amphitheatre’s lower north parking lot. The amphitheatre opened in 1941.

The hiking trail is very steep at the bottom, a little less so in the middle sections and steep again at the top, passing through rock bands near the summit. Mount Blue Sky is visible to the west. Views to the east take in Red Rocks Park, the Dakota Ridge hogback, Green Mountain and downtown Denver in the distance.

Although the parking lot is located at the south end of Red Rocks Park, most of the trail is on Jefferson County Open Space land and is part of Matthews/Winters Park. shows the path of the trail with topographical lines.

The steepness of the trail is only one of its challenges. Much of the trail is strewn with loose rocks. Other sections take the hiker over loose sand and gravel, which can cause lots of slipping and sliding. Many will find the descent as challenging as the ascent. Trekking poles are highly recommended.

Mount Morrison is definitely not a casual hike, but casual hikes aren’t the best training for fourteeners.

“It����ap the best training around,” Kinzli said. “You’re not going to find anything steeper close to Denver.”

The parent organization of the Sundance Film Festival this week shared details about the titles appearing at Film on the Rocks, Boulder Creek Fest, and other major events as part of its co-sponsorship with various local programmers.

The movies offer “early opportunities for Colorado audiences to connect with (Sundance’s) legacy of independent storytelling through film, music, and poetry,” Sundance officials said.

“When we decided to move the festival to Colorado we also made the decision to host all of our pre-festival events in partnership with local organizations,” said Eugene Hernandez, festival director and head of public programming at Sundance, in a Thursday email to The Denver Post. “Because we felt like it was not only the right way to show up in partnership and in collaboration with the Colorado community but also it would be an opportunity to get to know the community better, get to know the arts organizations who we met during the search process.”

Sundance officials have spent many days in Colorado over the last couple of years as they scoped out Boulder for the fest’s new home. Hernandez said these summer co-presentations are a natural extension of that research and exploration, and that events will arrive monthly until the festival debuts in January.

“We will continue to create opportunities to engage local audiences in Boulder and throughout Colorado, whether it’s a screening or a talk or a workshop or an opportunity to get to know the audience better,” Hernandez said. “So we’re looking for the right opportunities. It could be a screening, it could be something else.”

Hernandez has been coming to Colorado since his first screening at Telluride Film Festival (“Brokeback Mountain,” which he watched twice in one weekend) and counts SeriesFest and the Denver Film Festival among his favorite events.

He was gratified to be welcomed to Colorado by other festival organizers, he said, including Boulder International Film Festival founders Kathy and Robin Beeck.

“There is already a well-cultivated arts scene here so to be invited in with such warmth, and to contribute to the creative alchemy here — it is really exciting for us,” he said. “We want audiences in Boulder, Denver and across Colorado to join us in person in January and each month as we countdown to the festival.”

Summer screenings for the Sundance co-presentations include “Andrea Gibson: Love Letter from the Afterlife,” a 20th anniversary celebration of “Little Miss Sunshine” in partnership with Denver Film’s Film on the Rocks, “Napoleon Dynamite” at the Boulder Creek Festival, “The Best Summer” at Outside Days, and “BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions” in collaboration with Biennial of the Americas, MATTER and MCA Denver, according to the festival’s new agency of record for Colorado, Bloomerang PR. The agency was launched in January by PR and film-fest veteran Jenny Bloom.

The Sundance Film Festival is the independent movie world’s most important event in the U.S. It’s moving to Boulder from Park City, Utah, after a 42-year run there and is expected to bring tens of thousands of visitors and millions of dollars in tax revenue to town during an otherwise quiet season, state economic development officials have said.

“We are beyond bummed,” the indie rock band posted on . “We’ve been working on this show for nearly a year and wanted nothing more than for it to happen on May 6.”

The concert has been rescheduled for May 12.

“Today, after consulting with their meteorological team, the venue, which is owned by the City of Denver, determined that incoming weather conditions would make it unsafe to move forward,” the band’s post said. “Their responsibility is not only fan safety, but also the safety of the staff, crew, and everyone required to load in and operate the show.”

A winter storm is expected to dump 3 to 9 inches across the Denver metro on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Wednesday seeing a concentration of wet, heavy snow.

“Based on the severity and timing of the storm, they concluded it would not be possible to safely move gear and people into the venue,” the post said. “Often these calls are made the day before or even the day of a show, but their weather advisors were adamant that this storm is imminent & serious enough to make that impossible.”

Ticket holders can request a refund in the AXS app or call AXS directly at 888-929-7849.

“It may not be ideal, but we’d much rather get to play this incredible venue a few days later than cancel outright,” the post read.

The season begins Monday, June 8, with Reiner’s 1987 fantasy-comedy classic “The Princess Bride” and ends Monday, Aug. 10, with 1993’s “Jurassic Park,” according to Denver Film; see the full list below.

The movie series, programmed by the nonprofit that runs the Denver Film Festival, will again feature five films, with $25 tickets per screening (the same price as last year) and $50 for VIP reserved seating near the front of the amphitheater. Group sales are available by contacting boxoffice@denverfilm.org.

Tickets are on sale now for Denver Film members, and to the public starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 1, via .

The biggest locally relevant show is the 20th anniversary celebration of “Little Miss Sunshine,” the 2006 indie hit that won Oscars for Best Original Screenplay (by Michael Arndt) and Best Supporting Actor (Alan Arkin). The quirky family dramedy featured a now-iconic soundtrack by Denver’s gypsy-punk-folk-mariachi act DeVotchKa, and having that band play the 20th anniversary seems like a fitting tribute to the title that helped turn DeVotchKa into an international touring force. (It’s also a notable collaboration between Denver Film and the Sundance Film Festival, which makes its Boulder debut in January.)

Gates open at 6:30 p.m. with pre-show entertainment taking the stage at 7 p.m., followed by the film presentation at 8:30 p.m., according to Denver Film. As in recent years, all screenings will be emceed by local comedian and actor Janae Burris. Pre-show entertainment includes musical performances by School of Rock, The Reminders, Wheelchair Sports Camp, DeVotchKa and May Be Fern, as well as a special presentation by paleontologist and National Geographic Explorer Tyler Lyson, Denver Film said.

Featuring a pre-show presentation by Paleontologist and National Geographic Explorer Tyler Lyson.”

The bronze Works Progress Administration marker was installed near the intersection of West Alameda Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard to commemorate the 5,000 workers who extended Alameda Parkway to Red Rocks Amphitheatre during the Great Depression, according to Alameda Connects, a nonprofit organization focused on supporting the corridor.

The nonprofit’s executive director, Tom Quinn, noticed the plaque was missing from its red sandstone base and reported the apparent theft to Lakewood police on April 10. A theft investigation is underway, police spokesman John Romero said.

The bronze plaque is likely worth less than $50 as scrap metal, said Morgan Smith, a buyer at Rocky Mountain Recycling. It holds significantly more value as a historic artifact, Quinn said in a news release.

“This marker was intended as a permanent record of the New Deal legacy Franklin Roosevelt built and what social programs and public investment can achieve,” he said. “It is a somber reflection that trends indicate it was stripped for scrap by those for whom social safety nets were established to prevent this kind of desperate act.”

Brass is selling at slightly more than $3 a pound right now, Smith said, which is about the regular range, although perhaps slightly elevated because of its copper content, which is selling higher.

“So they’re doing thousands of dollars of damage to collect a few bucks,” Smith said of the potential thief.

He noted that if someone brought in the stolen historical marker or any other suspicious object to Rocky Mountain Recycling, the company would alert police, buy the item and collect the seller’s personal information.

“And usually, 99% of the time (the police) get here before the guy leaves,” he said.
