Tips & Advice

  • Buy your tickets online, by phone or at the PAC ticket office, since the ticket office is the only authorized outlet for events at the PAC.
  • Park free in the City Parking Complex across Cheves Street, which you can reach from either Irby Street or Dargan Street.
  • If you want a drink at your seat, buy it in an official PAC cup, because food isn't allowed inside the theatre.
  • Arrive on time, because latecomers wait to be seated until there is a natural break in the performance.
  • Contact the ticket office ahead of time if you need accessible seating, and ask an usher for an assisted listening device when you arrive.
