How to Buy Tickets for Fallout Theater Shows in Austin

Fallout Theater sells tickets directly through its website: find a show in the "Upcoming Comedy Shows" list, click Get Tickets on that show's listing, and complete checkout. Prices vary by show — listings on the site range from about $7.51 to $25.09 — so the exact cost depends on which night and which format you pick. This works for anyone planning a night out at the theater at 616 Lavaca, Austin, TX 78701; if you're buying for a specific date, check the list first, because shows are added and rotated regularly.

Step-by-step: buying a ticket

1. Go to the shows section. The homepage surfaces "Upcoming Comedy Shows" with individual listings underneath.
2. Pick a specific show, not just a date. Each listing has its own title, short description, price, and date. Multiple shows can run on the same night at different prices.
3. Click "Get Tickets" on that listing. The button appears with the price (for example, "$19.32 Get Tickets").
4. Complete the purchase on the ticket page. The site's own listing pages are the entry point; checkout happens after you click through.
5. Check the show description before paying. Notes like "BYOB" appear in the listing text and affect what you can bring.

Expected result: you hold a ticket for a named show at a named date and time, at the price shown on that listing.

What tickets actually cost

Prices are set per show, not per venue, so there's no single house ticket price. From the current listings:

Two practical takeaways: open mics and experimental shows sit at the low end, while themed and variety shows sit at the high end; and a "BYOB" tag means you can bring your own drinks, which changes your total evening cost.

Choosing the right show for you

Use the format, not just the price, to decide:

• Stand-up only — Bomb Shelter (open mic, newest material, cheapest) or S'moregasbord (a stand-up/improv blend).
• Improv — PATRICIA (described as improv for every member of your friend group), Secret Stash (all-star cast), Cvnty Vampires (vampire-themed long-form), or Midnight Church (late-night, audience-participation style).
• Game show / interactive — DID I WIN?, where audience members can win real prizes.
• Seasonal or themed — Welcome to Terror Terrace, a Halloween variety show.
• Cathartic / casual — Fuck This Week, a BYOB show built around turning a bad week into comedy.

If you're going with a group that has mixed tastes, a variety or game-show format is the safer pick than a single-discipline improv set.

Before you buy: what to verify

• Date and start time. Listings show the day (e.g., "Fri Oct 9," "Sat Oct 10," "Mon Oct 12") — confirm it matches your plans, since several shows share dates.
• BYOB status. Only some listings carry it. Don't assume it applies venue-wide.
• Price at the listing, not from memory. Prices differ between shows on the same night ($21.63 vs. $25.09 on one Friday, for instance).
• Refunds and questions. The site routes refund requests and general questions through its contact page rather than the ticket listing, so raise issues there.

If you want more than a ticket

Fallout Theater also runs comedy classes through what it calls Austin's School of Comedy, and corporate improv workshops for team building. Those are separate from show tickets and are arranged through the site's classes and workshops sections — useful if your goal is participating rather than watching.
