🔥 Gene Simmons on the Bill
KISS icon Gene Simmons brings his own legend to the night — an all-star lineup you won't see assembled often.

Between the Twisted Sister anthems and Sebastian Bach's catalog, expect a loud, full-throated singalong from the first song.

Know Before You Go
It's ~90 Miles North
Choctaw Casino & Resort is about 90 miles north of Dallas via US-75 North, just across the Oklahoma border in Durant. Budget about 1 hour 30 minutes from most of DFW, more from Fort Worth. Leaving early avoids the pre-show US-75 crunch.
Free Parking, Slow Exit
Choctaw has extensive free on-site parking, a garage, and valet. The catch is the exit — when the show ends, the whole lot funnels back to US-75 at once. QTS stages nearby so you leave while the lot is still stacking up.
It's a Casino (21+ Floor)
Grand Theater concerts are generally all ages, but Choctaw's gaming floor is 21-and-over. Minors must be accompanied by an adult and can't be on the casino floor. Confirm age rules at durantgrandtheater.com.
Tickets
Buy only through official channels — Ticketmaster and durantgrandtheater.com. Resale prices vary and fraudulent listings are common. QTS does not sell event tickets; we get you to the door.
An Intimate Indoor Theater
The Grand Theater is a climate-controlled, roughly 3,000-seat indoor theater — every seat is close to the stage, and weather is never a factor. It's one of the best rooms to see a show in the region.
Skip the Late-Night Drive
A 10:30–11 PM finish means a long, dark 90-mile drive home on US-75 for self-drivers. With QTS, your chauffeur handles it while you relax — the single best reason to book for a Choctaw show.
Why Book QTS for Twisted Sister at Choctaw
Choctaw is a straight shot up US-75, but it's still a roughly 180-mile round trip — and after a show, the last thing you want is to drive it home at midnight. Add the post-show exit crawl as hundreds of cars funnel back onto US-75 at once, and the drive becomes the worst part of the night. Rideshare this far out is unreliable and expensive.
