Ty Myers at Moody Center, Austin, Nov 20
Ty Myers plays Moody Center on Friday, November 20, 2026, with Brent Cobb and Benny G opening. The venue lists the start at 7:30 PM Central. This is the closest thing to a hometown show on the tour. Two things matter more here than anywhere else on the run. Your phone is your ticket, and a printout will not get you in. And the parking advice you will find online is partly out of date.

The one rule that will catch people out
Most arena advice is interchangeable. This one is not.
Moody Center will not accept a printed ticket or a screenshot. The venue says so directly. Your phone is the ticket, scanned from the Moody Center app or the Ticketmaster app, or tapped from an Apple or Google wallet.
That is worth pausing on. Printing a ticket at home is the safe habit at plenty of venues. Here it is the thing that stops you at the gate.
A screenshot fails for a technical reason. The barcode on a modern mobile ticket refreshes on a timer. A saved image freezes an expired code, so the scanner rejects it.
Add your ticket to your phone wallet before you travel. It then loads without a signal, which matters in a crowd of thousands.
Ty Myers in Austin: the short version
Ty Myers plays Moody Center on Friday, November 20, 2026. The venue lists the start at 7:30 PM Central. Brent Cobb and Benny G open.
The address is 2001 Robert Dedman Dr, Austin, TX 78712, on the University of Texas campus.
The venue states there are no age restrictions for this event.
The Ty Myers Moody Center date is the second to last night of The Legal Tour. Fort Worth closes the run the following evening.
Why this date is different
Ty Myers grew up here, or near enough that the difference needs a sentence.
His official biography says he was born just outside of Austin and raised on a cattle ranch his family has worked for more than six generations. In interviews he has named the town as Dripping Springs, out in the Hill Country southwest of the city.
So Austin is the home metro rather than the home town in the literal sense. The distinction is small but it is true, and it is the sort of thing local fans notice.
What it means in practice is simple. This is the closest he plays to where he grew up, in the largest room in the area, near the end of the tour.
Getting the venue right
Austin has three venues with Moody in the name. They are different buildings in different parts of the city.
- Moody Center. The arena at 2001 Robert Dedman Drive, holding 15,000 plus. This is the one you want.
- Moody Amphitheater. An outdoor venue in Waterloo Park, holding roughly 5,000.
- ACL Live at the Moody Theater. A 2,750 capacity downtown room on Willie Nelson Boulevard.
Set your navigation to Robert Dedman Drive, not to the word Moody. Confirm the address on your ticket before you set off.
Start time, and why 8:00 PM is circulating
The venue’s own event page lists 7:30 PM Central, with a note that times can change. Ticketmaster matches it.
AXS and Do512 both list 8:00 PM. That is the outlier.
The venue publishes the schedule for its own room, so its figure is the primary record. Moody Center also sells through Ticketmaster and directs fans to the Ticketmaster or Moody Center apps. A seller the venue does not use is not a good source for its timings.
No doors time has been published for this date. Arena doors usually open an hour to ninety minutes ahead, which would put it near 6:00 to 6:30 PM. Treat that as an estimate, and check the venue listing again closer to the show.
Bags, and a rule that is looser than most
Moody Center allows one clear bag up to 14 by 14 by 6 inches, or one non-clear clutch up to 5 by 9 by 1.5 inches. One or the other, not both.
The clear bag limit here is roomier than at several stops on this tour, where 12 by 6 by 12 inches is the common cap. A bag that failed elsewhere may well pass here.
The clutch allowance is the strict half. It is wallet sized. Anything bigger needs to be clear.
Cashless, and what that means with a phone-only ticket
Moody Center is a cashless facility. Apple Pay, Google Pay and major credit cards work. Cash does not.
Stack that against the mobile ticket rule and a pattern appears. Your phone gets you in, and then it pays for everything.
Charge it fully before you leave. A power bank is a reasonable thing to carry. If you are bringing other people, transfer their tickets to their own phones in advance rather than running the whole group from one battery.
Parking: the real cost and the real delay
Parking here is expensive and slow to escape. Both halves are documented.
UT Parking and Transportation runs the campus garages and publishes the event rates:
| Garage | Price | Walk to venue |
|---|---|---|
| Manor Garage | $40 to $65 | 2 to 3 minutes |
| Trinity Garage | $30 to $40 | 7 to 8 minutes |
Moody Center also names Parking Garage B, State Garage G and State Garage R as alternatives.
Two operational details matter more than the price.
Manor Garage is pre-pay only. It no longer takes drive-up payment on event days. Turning up without a booking is not a plan.
Be careful here, because the two official sources disagree. The UT parking table lists both garages as purchasable “online through Moody Center or on site.” Moody Center’s own parking page says Manor Garage is pre-pay only and no longer available for drive up payment on event days.
Follow Moody Center. Its page is the stricter of the two, and the UT page opens by stating that Moody Center events are not managed by UT Parking and Transportation, then points readers to the venue. A source that hands off authority is not the one to trust on the detail. Book ahead and the disagreement cannot cost you anything.
The exit level is not the entry level. Moody Center tells fans to walk out through the southwest corner of Level 1, then to drive out via Level 4, because Level 1 will be closed. Read that before the night rather than at 10:30 PM.
What locals actually say about parking
The most upvoted piece of advice in a large Austin thread on this exact question was two words: walk further.
The reasoning holds up. Parking closest costs the most and empties the slowest. One resident reported that Trinity Garage can take more than an hour to get out of after a show. That is one first-hand account, not a measurement, but it matches the pattern fans describe at arenas everywhere.
Another local’s complaint was that people pay $40 or more for the privilege of sitting in a jam they could have walked around.
If you can add ten minutes on foot, you usually cut both the price and the wait.
Two pieces of parking advice that are now wrong
Search for cheap parking near this venue and you will find both of these. Both are out of date.
Dobie Garage is gone. UT Parking and Transportation states that Dobie Center Garage is permanently closed. It shut in May 2024 for a new business school building, and demolition started that June. Recommendations naming it as a cheap walkable option are simply stale.
The Bullock Museum garage is not free at night. The museum lists $15 for full-day parking, and $25 for after-hours event parking on select days from September 1, 2026. Its garage is generally staffed only until 8 PM. It may still beat an arena garage on price. It is not the free tip it used to be.
Roads, closures and why to leave early
Moody Center’s own guidance is unusually direct. Large crowds, ongoing construction and heavy traffic mean you should leave early and give yourself plenty of time.
Two specifics sit behind that warning:
- Southbound I-35 upper deck exit 235A to Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard is permanently closed because of the I-35 expansion. Use the lower deck exit. Navigation apps may not have caught up.
- The MLK Bridge is under reconstruction. The venue asks fans to make a best effort to avoid it.
For a 7:30 PM start, being in the area by around 6:15 PM leaves room for parking, the walk and the security line.
Rideshare, transit and bikes
Rideshare drop-off and pick-up is on the northeast side, on Clyde Littlefield Road and Red River Street.
Arriving that way is easy. Leaving is the harder half. One local described walking away from the venue to a nearby pub after a show, then going through three canceled rideshares before getting home. After a full arena empties, cancellations and surge pricing are normal.
Buses: CapMetro routes 7, 10, 20, 670 and 671 serve this part of campus, with Plaza Saltillo the nearest light rail station. Routes 670 and 671 do not run on Saturdays. This show is on a Friday, so they do run for it.
Bikes: free public bike parking is available at the School of Social Work and the Recreational Sports Center.
Where to sit
Moody Center holds 15,000 plus for concerts, per the venue’s own fast facts. It opened in April 2022 and cost $375 million. One caveat on the headline number: a scaled concert setup seats fewer, so the room may be smaller than its maximum on the night.
Most of the bowl reviews well. Two weak spots come up again and again in local discussion:
- The sides of the stage. Several attendees describe craning their necks all night. Some report weaker sound there too.
- The upper section furthest back. One fan explained that you sit behind the lighting rig, which can obscure the stage and the screens at once.
Fans in the 200 level facing the stage consistently report good views and good sound. The pattern is clear enough to act on. Facing the stage matters more than being close to it.
Sound: an honest split
Opinion on the sound genuinely divides, and it divides by location rather than by taste.
One regular who has been to five or six shows here, across all levels, said it sounded great every time and that he is always surprised to hear complaints. Others describe distortion from the balcony parallel with the stage, and from the upper deck.
The building was designed with extensive acoustic paneling and gets credit for it locally.
The fair conclusion is that both groups are describing something real. Where you sit changes the answer. If sound quality is your priority, buy facing the stage and avoid the far corners.
The floor: close, but with trade-offs
Paying up for the floor is not automatically the better night here.
One attendee who did regretted it. The specific complaints were structural rather than about the view: a long walk to bathrooms and bars using a limited number of makeshift staircases, and a slow single-file exit at the end that can run past twenty minutes.
Another fan disputed part of that, noting there are bathrooms on the floor level and canned drinks sold there.
A third praised the venue for capping floor tickets, saying the standing area felt close to the stage without being crushed.
Take from that what fits your priorities. Close and constrained, or further back and easier to move around.
Cameras, phones and the livestream ban
Livestreaming is prohibited. The venue names Facebook Live, Instagram Live, TikTok Live and Twitch specifically.
Also banned: selfie sticks, tripods and monopods, professional cameras with detachable lenses, video and audio recording gear, and external lighting including flash attachments and ring lights.
Personal photos on a phone or a small non-professional camera are generally fine. The conditions are no flash, no added lighting, no detachable lens, and no blocking anyone’s view.
Other prohibited items worth knowing
The list runs longer than most venues on this tour, and includes a few surprises:
- Umbrellas
- Strollers and wagons
- Laptops and tablets
- Bottles or cans of any kind, empty or full
- Banners, flags and signs
- Noisemakers of any kind
- Weapons, including knives of any size
- Outside food and drink, except medical snacks
- All tobacco, vaping and THC products
The umbrella ban is the practical one. A wet November evening plus a walk in from Trinity Garage is a realistic combination, so bring a coat with a hood rather than an umbrella you will have to abandon.
Accessibility
Manor Garage holds the closest accessible parking, and the venue notes space there is limited. Book early.
The accessible drop-off and pick-up point is on Robert Dedman Drive, on the northwest side of the venue. The published route runs south on San Jacinto Boulevard from East Dean Keeton Street, then east on Deloss Dodds Way. At the checkpoint, tell security the passenger is mobility impaired.
For a pre-arranged pickup afterward, the venue and UT both point to Clyde Littlefield Road and Red River Street.
A short checklist for the night
- Ticket on your phone, in a wallet app. Not printed. Not a screenshot.
- Phone charged, because it is also your payment method.
- Card or phone wallet. The venue is cashless.
- Parking pre-booked, especially for Manor Garage.
- Clear bag inside 14 by 14 by 6 inches, or a clutch inside 5 by 9 by 1.5.
- No umbrella. Wear a hood instead.
- Leave early. The venue asks you to, and the closed I-35 exit is the reason.
