6:00 PM or 9:00 PM: picking your Kansas City show
The second Kansas City show was added after the first, so demand here is real. Here is how the two compare on a Saturday at a casino:
What works
- 6:00 PM: early finish, room for dinner or a night out afterwards
- 9:00 PM: classic late Saturday slot, no rush after work or errands
- Two shows means more seats to compare on price
Worth knowing
- 6:00 PM: tight if you are driving in from out of town
- 9:00 PM: late finish, and the casino will be busy on arrival
- Both shows are the same tour material, so do not buy both expecting a different set
What are Kansas City tickets going for?
We have no verified face value for Ameristar. Our September 2026 tour-wide snapshot showed resale get-in prices of about US$40–60; Saturday shows tend to be at or above the tour average. Check both show rows, since the cheaper of the two can change daily. TicketNetwork is a resale marketplace, so prices there can sit above face value. The official primary seller for this date is Ticketmaster or the venue box office. See ticket prices.
Is the Ameristar show 21 and over?
Expect it to be. Star Pavilion is inside a casino, and US casino venues usually admit 21+ only, unlike theatre stops where the guidance is suggested 18+. Confirm on the venue’s event page and bring government photo ID. Our age limit guide lists the difference by venue type.
What is Not What I Ordered about?
The official copy describes brutally honest stand-up about relationships, family, fame, farm life, mental health and everyday chaos. It is his first world tour, following the Boujee On A Budget run that sold more than 250,000 tickets. No run time or opener is published. See what to expect.
Does the VIP package work with both shows?
VIP is sold per performance, so pick your show time first. The Not What I Ordered Q&A Experience includes a premium ticket, a group photo with Matt, a Q&A session and a merch bundle (poster, lanyard, koozie, stickers, wax melt). Price is not published. Details: VIP experience.
Getting to Ameristar
Ameristar Kansas City sits on the Missouri River on the city’s northeast side, and most people drive and use the casino’s parking. On a two-show Saturday the lots are busy, so for the 9:00 PM show give yourself time for the early crowd leaving. Check the venue for current parking details.
Other nearby dates
