Kasim's gig starts at 8.00pm with the doors opening at 7.30pm. Tickets are $15 in advance (from the venue website) or $20 on the door. However you are strongly advised to buy your tickets online as early as possible as people are seated in the order they purchase tickets and if you are in the standing area (which is behind and below the seated people) there is quite a chance that you may not be able to see Kasim very clearly.
