On this page

Zanies requires the purchaser's photo ID to claim seats and allows no refunds, exchanges or transfers. It names StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek and other resale sites as unauthorized, so a resold ticket may not get you in. Buy from zanies.com or Etix. There are two clubs: Zanies Chicago at 1548 N. Wells St. in Old Town and Zanies Rosemont at 5437 Park Pl.

Age, minimum and timing

Everyone must be 21 or older with photo ID. There is a two-item minimum per person; drinks don't have to be alcoholic. Shows typically run about an hour and a half. Late seating stops once the headliner takes the stage, with no refund.

Parking

Old Town: Zanies recommends booking parking in advance through SpotHero. Rosemont: self-park in the garage next to Parkway Bank Park and bring the ticket in for validation, which makes it free; valet is $15 on most Fridays and Saturdays.
