We have both orchestra and balcony seating.
*Note balcony seating requires a walk up the stairs; there is no elevator* Orchestra seating is on the main floor with no steps required. Request for balcony or orchestra seating available on a first come, first served basis.
Tickets will be assigned based off of group size, and "more desirable" tickets will be assigned on a first come, first served basis;
But as always at The Kirby Center : There isn't a bad seat in the house!


 Leave the Driving (and Parking!) to Us

Avoid the downtown parking crunch and ride in comfort with GCU! We are using the wonderful MARTZ bus company again for a stress-free no parking worry night!  Restrooms available on board along with TV screens ; so of course we will be playing Seinfeld episodes on the bus!

We’re offering round-trip bus transportation from three convenient pickup points:

  • Scranton, PA – Planet Fitness Parking Lot 

  • Wilkes-Barre, PA – Wyoming Valley Mall

  • Wilkes-Barre, PA – Holiday Inn East Mountain 600 Wildflower Dr, Wilkes-Barre, PA    (perfect if you’d like to park and relax with a happy-hour drink before departure!)

    With two Jerry Seinfeld shows happening that night (7:00 PM & 9:30 PM), parking near the venue will be limited — but with GCU, you can leave the stress behind and just enjoy the fun.

Departure to the Show:

  • 8:30 PM – Depart from KPOT 

    Short bus ride to the theater The Kirby Center is only 2.8 miles and 11 minutes away!

Arrive at The Kirby Center: (dropped off in style at the door! no need for parking or walking a long distance in the cold)

  •  8:40 - 8:45 PM – Arrive for the 9:30 PM Jerry Seinfeld show

 Important Note:
The Kirby Center box office has not released a doors-opening time, as there is an earlier 7:00 PM show. (Guests from the 1st show will need time to exit the theater and the Kirby staff will need time to sweep through the theater to clean up before doors open).This is why we are opting to leave from dinner a bit later due to the bus not being able to sit on the street in front of the Kirby Center. Please bring your patience — we’ll be on a warm, toasty bus with restrooms, so it’s better to be warm than too early and standing out in the cold if the theater doors aren't open! The good news is we will be dropped off right at the door with no parking worries!
