HI-FI Indy: Know Before You Go
GENERAL SHOW INFORMATION
We’re thrilled to welcome you to HI-FI for an unforgettable show! HI-FI is an indoor live music venue located in the heart of Fountain Square, inside the historic Murphy Arts Center. Our main entrance and box office are situated directly under the HI-FI marquee on Virginia Ave.
Venue & Age Restrictions
HI-FI’s age policy varies by event, with most shows open to ages 18 and up. Please check the show listing to confirm if your event is all ages, 18+, or 21+.
Seating & VIP Options
This show is general admission, standing room only. For a more comfortable experience, a limited number of VIP upgrades with reserved seating are available. Visit our VIP Upgrade page or reach out to us at boxoffice@hifiindy.com for details.
Box Office & ID Requirements
The box office opens one hour before the published door time. Alcoholic beverages are available for guests 21 and over with a valid, government-issued ID.
VENUE LOCATION
For those heading to HI-FI, here’s everything you need to know to make your arrival smooth and easy:
Venue Entrance
HI-FI’s main entrance and box office are located at 1043 Virginia Ave., Suite 4, in the Murphy Arts Building, right beneath the HI-FI marquee. This address works best for GPS directions to the venue. HI-FI shares this entrance with our restaurant, Easy Rider.
Parking Options
Street parking is free in Fountain Square, so if you arrive early, you’re likely to find a spot close by. Closer to showtime or on busy weekends, parking fills up quickly, but additional free street parking is available along Virginia Avenue, stretching from the I-65 overpass to the venue. The Indianapolis Cultural Trail, which is well-lit and offers a quick walk to the venue, also runs right by.
Pay Lot Option
If street parking is full, the LAZ pay lot behind the Murphy Arts Building, in the former PNC parking lot, is an option. This lot typically charges $5-$10, but note that we don’t manage this lot.
Important Note on St. Patrick Street
We recommend avoiding travel down St. Patrick Street (between HI-FI Annex and St. Patrick’s Church) by car, as it can become congested and narrowed to a single lane during busy nights.
For more details on parking and the best spots to leave your vehicle, check out our parking page.
VIP SEATING UPGRADES
For most shows, we offer VIP seating upgrades, providing comfortable seating in a private area with easy access to the bar. The VIP section includes six tables on our elevated platform at the back of the venue. For select shows, our Owner’s Box is also available, offering a more exclusive experience for up to 8 guests. Please note that VIP access is only available to guests 21 and over, due to its close proximity to our service bar.
With limited availability, these options tend to sell out quickly. You can purchase VIP upgrades for this and future shows directly from our VIP Upgrade page to enhance your HI-FI experience!
ACCESSIBILITY
For any ADA requests, please reach out to us at boxoffice@hifiindy.com or inquire at the box office. We appreciate advance notice so we can ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests.

COUNTERFEIT TICKETS, BROKERS & RESELLERS
To ensure a smooth entry to our shows, please purchase tickets only from our authorized ticketing partner, Tixr. As we recently transitioned from See Tickets to Tixr, there are some current shows with tickets available on both platforms, and we will honor valid tickets from either. Please note the emphasis on valid tickets, as we will not accept counterfeit or unauthorized tickets.
Beware of Third-Party Sellers
We strongly caution against buying tickets from third-party sources like Craigslist, Facebook, StubHub, Vivid Seats, or individual sellers. It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify ticket validity, and we cannot guarantee entry with tickets purchased outside of authorized channels. If counterfeit tickets are presented at the gate, our only option is to deny entry—a difficult decision, but necessary to maintain the integrity of our events.
Social Media Scams
We also recommend avoiding social media posts or comments from individuals claiming to have “2 extra tickets and can’t go.” Many scams involve reselling the same ticket to multiple buyers. If you have any concerns about ticket legitimacy, please reach out to our Box Office for guidance.
CONTACT US
If you still have questions after reading through this information, please feel free to reach out to us at boxoffice@hifiindy.com. Email is the best way to get in touch, as our team monitors this inbox frequently during shows to assist you as quickly as possible.
While we may be available by phone during daytime business hours, it can be difficult to have a conversation while the show is taking place, so email is preferred during event times.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Can I bring a bag into the show?
Yes! You are allowed to bring a small purse or fanny pack, but it may be subject to security inspection.
What is the camera/photo policy for this venue?
The photo policy is determined by the artist and may vary each night. Generally, HI-FI does not permit professional photography unless pre-approved by the band. For approved photographers, photos are allowed during the first three songs only, with no flash permitted. Please note that the artist, not the venue, controls the photo policy for each show.
To request pre-approval for media credentials, please contact marketing@hifiindy.com at least 48 hours prior to the event.
Can I purchase ear plugs at the venue?
Yes! You can purchase ear plugs for $3 from the box office or the bar.
Can I leave and re-enter the venue?
Yes. Re-entry is permitted for HI-FI shows. Guests may be subject to security screening upon readmission.
I lost something at the show. Who do I contact?
For inquiries about lost items—including credit cards, clothing, phones, wallets, and more—please contact boxoffice@hifiindy.com. Found items can be picked up in our office (Suite 2) Monday–Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Guests may be required to provide identification or another form of verification to claim their items.
What is your refund policy?
If a show is postponed, ticket holders will be notified via email, and no action is required if you wish to keep your tickets. HI-FI will work to reschedule the show and will provide updates as soon as they are available. If you are unable to attend the new date, refunds will be offered at the original point of purchase for 30 days after the rescheduled date. If you purchased tickets with cash at the box office, please contact our Box Office for instructions on processing your refund.
In the event of a cancelled show, tickets purchased online will be automatically refunded. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to appear in your bank account. No action is required unless you 1.) paid cash at our box office, 2.) have a new or different card than the one originally used, or 3.) do not see the refund after 5 business days. For assistance in these cases, please reach out to our Box Office.
