Tips & Advice
- Watch for tickets in October, since every seat is reserved for a specific tea time and sales are non-refundable.
- Bring a camera and something for autographs to the Land of Snow, where you can meet the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Snow Queen, Clara and the Nutcracker Prince.
- Buy every seat at your table or go with friends, because that's the only way to avoid sharing a table with another party.
- If plans change, email the ballet by the evening before to transfer your reservation to another party, since refunds and exchanges aren't allowed.
- Babies up to age 2 come free on a lap, but buy them a ticket if they need their own seat and plate.
