Yes, as long as it has not sold out. Guests who buy it online with their concert tickets have priority over those buying on site. On-site purchases are by credit card only; cash is not accepted.

Three premium electric candles that recreate the warm, flickering glow of real candles.
What is the policy for Candles 3-Packs bought online?
They must be collected at the designated spot at the venue on the day of the event. They are tied to that event date and location, so all Candle add-ons bought online and picked up on site are non-refundable and non-returnable. All sales are final.

The concerts take place in historic venues where temperature control can be difficult. Temperatures may vary with the season, so please dress accordingly.
