In short About the concert

Candlelight concerts bring live music to McNamara Alumni Center, in a room lit only by candles. This program puts Queen and ABBA face to face: a string quartet plays the rock anthems of one and the pop classics of the other, in a 60-minute concert in Minneapolis.

This concert experience is a tribute. It is not associated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the artist, their heirs or their official representatives.

Can I buy Candlelight Photo photos at the venue?
Photos can be purchased at the venue, provided we have not reached the sold-out threshold. Guests who purchase the photo opportunity on the website when they buy their concert tickets have priority over those who make on-site purchases. On-site purchases are limited to credit card transactions only; no cash will be accepted.

Your photo will be taken before the event, and the photo experience ends 10 minutes before the concert starts. Please make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes before the concert begins, so we have enough time to take your photo.
When do I get my results?
You can select your preferred photo before it is printed. Our staff will print it during the concert, and you can collect it at the exit. Please make sure to pick up your photo before leaving, as we cannot store it for later. If you forget to collect it and leave the venue, refunds or rescheduling will not be possible.

The venue staff will explain the photo experience once you are inside the venue, where it takes place. Please do not hesitate to approach any of our staff members if you have any questions.

The package includes 3 premium electric candles that recreate the warm, flickering glow of Candlelight.
What is the policy for Candles 3-Packs purchased online?
All Candles 3-Packs purchased online must be collected at the designated location at the venue at the time of your event.

All sales are final.

The theater is divided into different sections based on the quality of the view. Seats are assigned to you at the entrance with the help of our staff, on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the section you selected.
