Matt Mathews in Pikeville: Appalachian Wireless Arena, Nov 7, 2026

Should you pick the 4:00 PM or 8:00 PM show in Pikeville?

The 4:00 PM slot is one of the earliest on the whole tour, and it is a gift if you are driving in from across eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia or southwest Virginia on mountain roads. You get home in daylight-adjacent hours and still have the evening free. The 8:00 PM show is the classic Saturday night out. If the drive back is long and winding, we would lean early. November daylight is short, and the afternoon show also leaves time for dinner in town afterwards.

What do Pikeville tickets cost?

No official price range was published for this arena show on the pages we checked. The US resale floor was about $40–60 in September 2026, and arena dates often have a wide spread between the floor and the back rows. Our buttons go to TicketNetwork, a resale marketplace, where prices may be above face value; the official seller is the Appalachian Wireless Arena box office or its ticketing partner. Our best seats guide helps you choose where to sit.

Is the Pikeville show 18+?

This is a civic arena rather than a casino, so a hard 21+ rule is less likely. Non-casino venues on this tour usually go with a suggested 18+, which is advice rather than an ID check. Check the arena's listing for its own wording. The humour is adult, so plan accordingly. See age limit.

What is Matt Mathews' Not What I Ordered show about?

It is his first world tour, following Boujee On A Budget. The official copy describes brutally honest stories about relationships, family, fame, farm life, mental health and everyday chaos. The farm life material should land well in a rural crowd. Details in what to expect.

Does the Pikeville VIP include a meet and greet?

Not a one-on-one. The Not What I Ordered Q&A Experience gives you a premium ticket, a group photo with Matt, access to the Q&A, plus a poster, lanyard, koozie, sticker pack and wax melt. Price varies. More on VIP experience.
