Standby Tickets

$75 Standby Seats

When performances are sold out, we sell a limited number of $75 Standby Seats for select Mainstage performances.

Standby seating is not guaranteed and occurs on a first-come, first-served basis. When you arrive, you will be directed to wait in our standby line. We will seat standby ticket holders in available empty seats shortly before curtain, beginning at the front of the standby line. On occasion, there may be late-arriving ticket holders for the seats that standby customers are seated in. In that case, the ticket holders will be seated in other available seats for the first act. During intermission, the ticket holders will be moved to their purchased seats and we will re-seat the standby customer into a different location.

Standby tickets should not expect to be seated together, but we will do our best to ensure they are when seating is available. If there are no seats available, a refund will be issued for the standby ticket(s) purchased to the original payment method.

Standby seating is a great bargain for only $75 and is your chance to attend an otherwise sold-out performance.
