Intrust Bank Arena Events

Intrust Bank Arena at 500 E Waterman St in downtown Wichita, Kansas serves as the city's primary large-scale entertainment venue, with a capacity of approximately 15,000 for concerts and events. Since opening in 2010, the arena has hosted a broad spectrum of programming from internationally touring pop and rock headliners to professional hockey games, family entertainment productions, and regional sporting events. The arena operates on event nights only, with the full schedule available through the official website. Ticket prices range from $25 to $150 or more depending on the artist and seating tier, covering floor, lower bowl, and upper levels. The venue functions as a regional destination drawing audiences from across south-central Kansas and neighboring states for events that bypass smaller metro areas. Inside, multiple bars throughout the concourse serve domestic beer, craft selections, and basic spirits at arena-standard pricing—draft beers typically run $12–$18 per cup. Concession stands offer a range of hot and cold food options. The atmosphere shifts entirely with the programming: a country concert fills the arena with a different crowd and energy than an NHL-affiliated hockey game or a family touring production. The arena's downtown location places it within walking distance of Old Town hotels and the E Douglas Ave bar corridor, making pre- and post-show dining and bar visits straightforward for attendees staying centrally. Paid parking garages adjoin the arena structure on multiple sides. All seating is assigned; no general admission floor tickets are issued for the arena's main configuration. Tickets are purchased through the official sales channel or authorized secondary marketplaces.
