Matthew West’s Jesus Is King Tour is not wrapping with the fall 2026 church-and-theater run. A full spring 2027 leg is now on the calendar, highlighted by a Sunday, April 25, 2027 date at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Presale for most spring shows starts Wednesday, September 30, 2026 at 10 a.m. local time, with general onsale following in early October.
This guide covers confirmed spring dates, how the presale works, where face-value tickets usually go on sale, and how to compare cheaper options on the secondary market without overpaying.

What’s on the Jesus Is King Tour in 2027
West is supporting his 14th studio album, Jesus Is King (released September 25, 2026). Promoters describe the night as new songs such as “Good” and “Jesus Is King” plus catalog favorites like “Don’t Stop Praying,” “The God Who Stays,” “Unashamed,” and “Truth Be Told.”
Most spring stops are 7:00 p.m. start times in churches, civic auditoriums, and mid-size theaters. The Ryman is the prestige date: doors listed around 6:00 p.m., show at 7:00 p.m., and organizers note it also lands on West’s birthday weekend.

Presale and onsale calendar (don’t miss Sept. 30)
For the spring 2027 block:
- Presale: Wednesday, September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. local time
- Ryman exclusive presale: also listed as Sept. 30 at 10 a.m. local; general onsale October 5, 2026 at 10 a.m. local
- Presale codes are typically posted the morning of sale on West’s social channels and the TPR event page — they are not always emailed in advance.
Birmingham’s Wright Center listing shows the same Sept. 30 10 a.m. window via TicketWeb, with VIP doors as early as 5:00 p.m., early entry 6:00 p.m., and GA doors 6:15 p.m. for the April 11 show.
Practical tip: Create accounts on Ticketmaster, TicketWeb, and TPR Live before 10 a.m. Church venues often have smaller inventories than arenas, so the first 15 minutes of presale matter more than waiting for “cheap deals” a week later.
How much are Matthew West 2027 tickets?
Face-value church and mid-size theater tickets on this tour have generally started in the $30–$60 range before fees on 2026 dates. The Ryman is already pricing higher on the resale boards.
Recent marketplace snapshots (these move daily):
- Typical West tickets across current dates: starting around $28–$40, average near $35–$80 depending on the room.
- Ryman Auditorium (Apr 25, 2027): listings from about $69–$84 and up; some aggregators show higher averages because of demand and historic-venue fees.
- Reading, PA (Apr 30, 2027): early resale listings already well above church-date floors.
Treat those numbers as a shopping range, not a quote. All-in pricing (ticket + facility + order fees) is what you actually pay. Church shows can look cheap until per-ticket fees stack on a four-person family order.
Where to buy tickets (official first, then compare)
Start official
- TPR Live — Jesus Is King Tour
- Ticketmaster — Matthew West
- Ryman event page
- MatthewWest.com/tour
- Birmingham example primary: TicketWeb — Wright Center
Compare after onsale if primary is sold or fees are high
- SeatGeek — Matthew West tickets
- Capital City Tickets — Matthew West tickets
- StubHub
- Ticketmaster resale / Face Value Exchange when enabled
Cheap-deal checklist
- Buy primary during the Sept. 30 presale if you need four seats together. Church layouts sell out in clusters.
- On resale, sort by all-in price, not advertised base price.
- Avoid screenshot/PDF “mobile tickets” sold in Facebook groups. Most of these rooms are mobile-entry or scanned at the door; a screenshot can fail at will-call.
- If a listing is far below every other seat in the same section, it is usually a bad listing, not a miracle deal.
- Kids over age 2 typically need their own ticket on TPR dates. Confirm on the event page.
City-by-city notes fans search most
Nashville — Ryman Auditorium (Apr 25)
Highest-demand 2027 date. Historic room, tight sightlines, downtown parking premium. Official page: ryman.com event listing. Presale Sept. 30; public sale Oct. 5.
Charlotte — First Baptist Charlotte (Apr 24)
Saturday church date the night before Nashville. Good option if Ryman prices jump.
Raleigh — Martin Marietta Center (May 8)
Tour closer on the current spring map. Downtown performing-arts room; compare parking vs. church lots used earlier on the run.
Birmingham — Wright Center at Samford (Apr 11)
TicketWeb primary. Door tiers (VIP / early entry / GA) are published; arriving after your ticket type’s door time can void that benefit.
Florida swing (Jacksonville, Longwood, Fort Myers)
Three dates in four days. If you can travel, compare all-in prices across the three rooms instead of locking the first city you see.
Knoxville Civic Auditorium (May 7) and St. Louis / Ballwin (May 6)
Standard civic/church mix. These rooms usually stay cheaper than the Ryman if you only need one night on the tour.
Venue FAQ (typical policies on this tour)
Are these reserved seats or general admission?
Mix. Theaters (Ryman, Berglund, Santander, Knoxville Civic, Martin Marietta) are reserved. Many church dates use reserved sections plus limited VIP/early-entry. Read the specific event page.
Will the show include the new album plus hits?
That’s how the tour is being billed: Jesus Is King material plus “Don’t Stop Praying,” “The God Who Stays,” “Unashamed,” “Truth Be Told,” and more. Setlists still vary night to night.
Can I transfer tickets?
Depends on the platform. Ticketmaster and TicketWeb mobile transfers are the clean path. Third-party “email a PDF” sales are the riskiest.
Refunds?
TPR/TicketWeb copy on at least one spring date states purchases are non-refundable. Insurance is optional and usually 5–10% extra — only worth it if your travel is non-refundable too.
Parking and bags
Church lots are easier than downtown Ryman or Raleigh. Assume clear-bag or small-bag rules at civic buildings; churches vary. Check the venue site the week of the show.
How to get the cheapest honest ticket
- Join the official tour list and TPR alerts so you get the Sept. 30 code.
- Be in the queue at 9:50 a.m. local on sale day.
- Buy the lowest full-view reserved seat on primary, not a “VIP” add-on unless you want early entry.
- If primary is gone, open SeatGeek, Capital City Tickets, and Ticketmaster resale in three tabs and match section + all-in total.
- Recheck 48 hours after onsale and again a month out. Church-date prices often dip once the first rush passes; Ryman prices usually do not.

Spring inventory is smaller than a typical arena tour. If Nashville or Charlotte is the night you want, treat the September 30 presale like the real onsale — waiting for a “later cheap drop” is how Ryman seats disappear.
