The Details
Everything you need
for the night.
Between Grand & Broome
What it is. THE KAGE is a combat and nightlife experience. Sanctioned bouts happen in an octagon cage at the center of Capitale's main ballroom, with DJ programming, live performance, and premium hospitality around them. After the main event, the room turns into a late-night set.
The room. Capitale is the landmarked Bowery Savings Bank (Stanford White, 1893–1895), a Beaux-Arts banking hall with 65-foot vaulted ceilings and a restored stained-glass skylight. Guests arrive through the marble foyer, the cage sits under the skylight, and the Gallery Room hosts after hours. See the venue.

Tickets
Where do I buy tickets?
Only through our official checkout at thekagepresents.com/tickets, linked from every "Get Tickets" button on this site. We can't verify or honor tickets bought from unauthorized resellers, social media sellers, or anyone else.
Will I get a physical ticket?
No. Tickets are digital. They're sent to the email you use at checkout. Have your ticket QR code ready on your phone at the door, along with your photo ID.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final. Refunds are issued only if the event is cancelled and not rescheduled. See the Ticket Terms for details.
Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?
Yes. Email info@thekagepresents.com with your order number and the new holder's name. The person using the ticket has to be 21+ with valid photo ID. Tickets transferred or resold any other way may be cancelled.
I didn't get my confirmation email.
Check your spam and promotions folders first, then reopen the confirmation link from checkout. If you still can't find it, email info@thekagepresents.com with your order number.
Will tickets be sold at the door?
Only if the event hasn't sold out, and at a higher price. We strongly recommend buying in advance.
What's the difference between GA and VIP?
VIP gets a separate entrance, priority check-in, and premium viewing areas closer to the cage. GA is standing room with full access to the ballroom, the fight card, and after hours. Exact inclusions are listed at checkout.
Entry & Arrival
Is this 21+?
Yes. Every guest must be 21 or older with a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID: a driver's license, state ID, passport, or passport card. Photos of IDs, expired IDs, and damaged IDs are not accepted. No exceptions, including for VIP.
What time should I arrive?
Doors open at 8:00 PM and combat begins around 8:30 PM. Arrive at 8:00 PM so you're in the room before the first bout. Security and ID checks take time at peak arrival.
Is re-entry allowed?
No. Once you leave the venue, your ticket is void.
What's the bag policy?
Small bags and clutches only, no larger than 6" × 9". Every bag is searched at entry. Backpacks and large bags are not allowed. See Event Policies for the full list of prohibited items.
Is there a coat check?
Yes. Coat check is available in the foyer for a fee. November in New York is cold, so plan ahead.
How do I get there? Is there parking?
Capitale is at 130 Bowery, between Grand and Broome. Take the 6, B, or D to Grand St, or the J or Z to Bowery. Both stations are about a 2-minute walk. There's no venue parking. Public transit, rideshare, or a nearby paid garage is best. Directions and map.

Buying or using a ticket means you accept these terms, our Event Policies, and the terms of our ticketing provider.
1. The Ticket
A ticket is a revocable license to attend the Event. It is not a property right. Each ticket admits one person, once. We or the venue may revoke the license and remove the holder, without a refund, for any breach of these terms or the Event Policies.
2. Purchase
Tickets are sold only through our official checkout at thekagepresents.com/tickets, operated by our ticketing provider, Trybe. Prices, service fees, and taxes are shown at checkout before you pay. We may limit how many tickets each customer can buy and may cancel orders that exceed those limits or appear fraudulent or automated.

All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges are available for change of plans, weather, travel issues, lineup changes, or refused entry or removal under the Event Policies.
4. Cancellation & Rescheduling
If the Event is cancelled and not rescheduled, you'll receive a refund of the ticket's face value through the original payment method. Whether service fees are refunded depends on the ticketing provider's policy. If the Event is postponed or rescheduled, your ticket stays valid for the new date. If you can't attend the new date, you may request a refund within the window we announce. We aren't responsible for travel, lodging, or any other costs you incur.
5. Lineup & Program Changes
The fight card, bout order, performers, DJs, set times, and program are subject to change, including because of athletic-commission decisions, injuries, weight misses, medical clearance, travel, or production needs. A change, substitution, cancelled bout, or early stoppage is not grounds for a refund.
6. Transfers & Resale
Tickets may be transferred only through the ticketing provider's official transfer feature, where available. Resale at a price above face value, or through unauthorized channels, is prohibited to the extent permitted by New York law, and we may cancel those tickets. We can't guarantee the validity of any ticket bought from an unauthorized source.
7. Duplicates & Fraud
Each ticket's barcode is valid for one entry. The first person to present a valid barcode is admitted. Duplicated, altered, or counterfeit tickets are void, and suspected fraud may be reported to the authorities.
8. Assumption of Risk & Liability
You attend voluntarily and accept all risks that come with a live combat-sports and nightlife event, including risks from crowds, loud music, lighting and special effects, and proximity to the cage. To the fullest extent the law allows, THE KAGE PRESENTS, the venue, the fighters, the officials, and our partners are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage to you or your property, except where caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under law that can't be waived.
9. Chargebacks
Filing a payment dispute or chargeback for a valid, delivered ticket may result in the ticket being cancelled and in refusal of entry to future THE KAGE events.
10. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.
