The Orange Peel Venue Information

The Orange Peel Social Aid & Pleasure Club, established in 2002, is a cornerstone of Asheville’s vibrant music scene. Housed in a historic building that once served as a roller-skating rink in the 1950s and later an R&B and soul club, it has evolved into a multi-purpose venue hosting concerts, benefits, galas, and private events. The venue features a spacious dance floor, a high-quality sound system, and a stage visible from nearly every angle, making it ideal for both dancing and enjoying performances. Its lower-level private club, PULP, offers a retro atmosphere with a full bar, local art displays, and a live feed of main stage shows. The Orange Peel operates a smoke-free facility and enforces strict bag policies, allowing only small purses or clear bags (for its sister venue, Rabbit Rabbit) that are searched upon entry. Box office hours are Wednesday and Thursday from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and on show days from 4:00 PM until close. For inquiries, contact the venue at (828) 398-1837.

The Orange Peel Seating Chart

The Orange Peel Seating Options

The Orange Peel primarily offers a standing-room-only experience, with a large dance floor accommodating up to 1,100 attendees. However, limited seating options are available for certain shows, catering to diverse preferences.

General Admission

Most shows at The Orange Peel are general admission (GA), meaning seating and standing areas are not assigned and are occupied on a first-come, first-served basis. The main floor is primarily standing, with a springy wooden dance floor ideal for dancing. Approximately 50–70 stools are available around the perimeter of the room on a first-come, first-served basis. For some shows, a small reserved seating area is offered on the side of the room for an additional upcharge of $5–$15 per ticket, available through the box office. Certain events, such as “SIDE STORIES LIVE,” are fully seated, with all seats also first-come, first-served unless specified as reserved. Arriving early is recommended to secure a preferred spot, especially for shorter attendees or those wanting a closer view of the stage.

The Orange Peel Ticket Sources

Tickets for The Orange Peel can be purchased through multiple channels, including primary and resale platforms. To ensure validity, it’s best to buy from official sources like Etix.com or the venue’s box office, as third-party sites may sell invalid or overpriced tickets.

Etix.com (Primary Tickets)

Etix.com is the primary ticketing platform for The Orange Peel, offering a reliable and secure way to purchase tickets online. Tickets can be bought directly through The Orange Peel’s website (theorangepeel.net), which redirects to Etix. Buyers can choose will-call (pick up at the box office with ID) or print-at-home tickets, which can be downloaded and printed or scanned from a smartphone, avoiding lines at the box office. Etix charges a modest service fee to cover ticketing software, credit card processing, and operational costs, which is among the lowest compared to competitors like Ticketmaster. Always check the event’s sale page for details like age restrictions or seating configurations.

Box Office

The Orange Peel’s box office, located at 101 Biltmore Avenue, is open Wednesday and Thursday from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and on show days from 4:00 PM until close. Tickets can also be purchased at Harvest Records (415 Haywood Rd, West Asheville) or Aloft Hotel (51 Biltmore Ave, Downtown Asheville, open 24/7). A $1 service fee applies to box office purchases to cover operational costs. For will-call tickets, bring a valid ID; if picking up for someone else, provide the order number, a photocopy of the purchaser’s ID, or a signed note authorizing pickup. The box office also facilitates reserved seating requests for Peel Insiders club members, subject to availability.

Ticket Squeeze (Resale Tickets)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Parking Included in the Ticket?

No, parking is not included in the ticket price at The Orange Peel. The venue does not have its own parking lot, but there is plenty of parking available nearby, including on-street parking, paid parking decks, and public parking lots, which are free after 6:00 PM. Attendees are advised not to park in spaces marked as tow-away zones to avoid penalties. Rideshare services or public transportation, such as the bus stop at Biltmore Ave and Hilliard Ave, are recommended for convenience and safety, especially if consuming alcohol.

Where Are the Best Seats at The Orange Peel?

The “best” seats depend on your preferences. For general admission shows, arriving early to secure a spot on the main floor near the stage offers the closest view, ideal for immersive experiences, though shorter attendees (e.g., 5’3”) may need to navigate crowds. The Balcony VIP area provides the best elevated views, private amenities, and comfortable seating, but availability is limited and may require a VIP package. Reserved seating on the side of the room, available for an upcharge, offers a seated option but may have partially obstructed views due to security or venue layout. For seated shows, front-row seats near the stage are first-come, first-served and highly sought after. Check event listings for seating configurations, and arrive 30–60 minutes early to secure preferred spots.

Are There Any Age Restrictions?

Age restrictions at The Orange Peel vary by event. Most shows are 18+ unless explicitly listed as all-ages or 16+. For all-ages shows, children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, remain near the back of the venue, and wear appropriate ear protection. Babies under 2 are not permitted. For 18+ or 16+ shows, valid ID (e.g., driver’s license, passport, or military ID) is required, and no exceptions are made for younger attendees, even with parental supervision. Always check the event’s sale page on Etix.com or theorangepeel.net for specific age requirements before purchasing tickets.
