Echoes of Exandria Comes to Fort Worth
Critical Role brings its 2026 live tour, Echoes of Exandria, to Ariat Arena (formerly Dickies Arena) on Thursday, December 3, 2026. Every stop on the tour features the founding cast and a story of its own set in Exandria, and the Fort Worth show has a twist: Travis Willingham takes the Game Master's chair for the first time on the tour. For a night like this, the last thing you want to think about is parking. Book a chauffeur and the drive there and back is handled.

VIP or General Admission, Plan Around Your Start Time
If you have VIP tickets, your night starts in the afternoon, with doors at 4:00 PM and the VIP show at 4:45 PM. General admission fans have a 7:00 PM start. That's a long evening either way, and a weeknight one, which makes it a good fit for hourly service: your chauffeur drops you off, stays with your group, and is ready whenever you walk out, so nobody has to watch the clock.
Critical Role notes that show times may change, so check the official tour page or the arena's event listing the week of the show, and send us the times on your ticket.
A Thursday in the Cultural District
Ariat Arena is in Fort Worth's Cultural District, next to Will Rogers Memorial Center. On a Thursday in December, the evening commute and holiday events keep I-30 and I-35W busy, especially for a VIP arrival in the late afternoon. Leave more time than the map suggests.
