“That’s all pretty good for the first 50 years,” George Thorogood says with a laugh. “But we keep working harder, digging deeper, and playing stronger. Now it’s time to go back out there and do some serious rockin’.” For George Thorogood and The Destroyers, serious rockin’ will always be what they do best. And for 2025, The Baddest Show On Earth Tour will bring the guitar-slinging, amp-blasting, and roof-shaking rock party like never before.

Ticket Purchasing

Order only through the Luhrs Center box office or luhrscenter.com—we are not responsible for tickets purchased through unauthorized third parties.

A $6 per ticket service charge is applied to each ticket purchased online or by phone, and is non-refundable whether the show is canceled or postponed.

*A $35 service charge will be imposed on each returned check in addition to any charges that may be assessed by the financial institution. Luhrs Center also requires that the check writer pay the amount due with cash, certified check, or money order

Ticket Policies

CHILDREN

All children are required to hold tickets for performances and must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian in all areas of the Luhrs Center.

EXCHANGES AND REFUNDS

All ticket sales are final. No refunds or exchanges will be given under any circumstance unless an event is canceled or rescheduled. Internet fees and mailing fees are not refundable under any circumstances. You can purchase tickets in person at the Luhrs Center box office to avoid service charges. Luhrs Center does not rate performer content unless the performer informs Luhrs Center that the performance may not be suitable for all age groups. Luhrs Center strongly urges ticket buyers to be informed about the performances for which they are purchasing tickets. Performer content is not a reason for a ticket exchange or refund.

CANCELED OR RESCHEDULED EVENTS

If an event is canceled or rescheduled, the Luhrs Center box office will contact ticket purchasers via letter, e-mail, or phone as soon as the cancellation/postponement is announced with information about ticket refund/exchange options. If an event is canceled, ticket purchasers will be refunded the amount of the tickets; however, Luhrs Center does not refund the handling/mailing/service charges related to ticket purchases. Inclement weather is not cause for a refund or exchange unless the performance is canceled or postponed. Cancellation or postponement notices will be posted on luhrscenter.com.
