Ilitch, Gores create new '313 Presents' for Detroit-area events

Olympia, Palace Sports merge to form 313 Presents

DETROIT – Chris Ilitch and Tom Gores have combined Olympia Entertainment and Palace Sports and Entertainment to create 313 Presents. 

The new entity will manage concerts and other entertainment events at six venues throughout Metro Detroit including: 

  • Little Caesars Arena
  • DTE Energy Music Theatre
  • Fox Theatre
  • Meadow Brook Amphitheatre
  • Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill
  • Comerica Park

Right now, Ilitch, owner of the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers, and Gores, owner of the Detroit Pistons, are searching for a new executive to lead 313 Presents, which will be headquartered at Little Caesars Arena. For now, current Olympia Entertainment President and CEO Tom Wilson is serving at interim president for 313 Presents. 

Watch an interview with Wilson here:

The Red Wings and Piston both are now playing their home games at Little Caesars Arena. 

On Monday, 313Presents.com was launched, making tickets, venue information and schedule updates across all six venues accessible in one location.

On the new site users can:

  • Purchase tickets to events scheduled at all 313 Presents venues
  • Sign up to receive access to the latest information on presales, members-only experiences, contests, special offers and more
  • Review venues’ seating maps, directions, policies, parking and dining options
  • Download concerts and events to your desktop or mobile calendar

Tickets for all events at 313 Presents venues are available for purchase at the Xfinity Box Office located at the Chevrolet Northeast Entry of Little Caesars Arena at 2645 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201. In addition, tickets can also be purchased at the Fox Theatre box office located immediately next to the venue’s main entrance at 2211 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201. There is no service charge for tickets purchased at the venue box offices. All amphitheatre box offices are closed for the season and will reopen in May 2018. Tickets are also available at Ticketmaster.com or can be charged by phone by calling 800-745-3000.
