Tips & Advice

  • Use complimentary valet parking, included with every ticket, to simplify arrival at the Adrienne Arsht Center.
  • Consider the Magic Package when buying one Adult Magic Ticket and one Child Magic Ticket; it saves up to $100, with a two-package order limit.
  • Choose between Magic seating in the Front Orchestra or best available, and Standard seating in the Rear Orchestra or best available.
  • Bring an extra layer because the theater can feel cool; smart casual clothing is appropriate, though there is no official dress code.
  • For parties of 10 or more, look into sponsorship opportunities rather than relying on standard group ticket quantities.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Buy one Adult Magic Ticket and one Child Magic Ticket in a Magic Package for a special package rate; limit two packages per order.
  • New this year: the Magic Package offers a special rate for one Adult Magic Ticket and one Child Magic Ticket.
