Tips & Advice

  • Buy a ticket for every child over two, because a child without one will be turned away along with their guardian.
  • Make other plans for children under two, since they aren't allowed into the theater for this ballet.
  • Order by phone through the box office instead of online if you want to save, since phone orders carry a smaller per-ticket service fee.
  • Buy directly from the Stadium Theatre, because it won't fill or refund purchases made through third-party websites.
