Single Tickets

Ticket FAQ

• How much do tickets cost?

  Ticket prices vary on seat location, availability and show time. Prices start as low as $44 (main floor orchestra level seating) and go up to $79. For Opening Night Performances, tickets are priced from $54 - $89.
  

  All tickets are subject to a $5 per ticket processing fee when purchasing.

• I noticed a processing fee on my single ticket order. What is it for?

  Our nominal processing fee helps to cover incidental costs of business such as credit card fees and building fees as well as printing and postage for those who choose to have their tickets printed and posted. 

  As a benefit, subscribers never have to pay for our processing fees for their subscription(s) or any additional tickets they may purchase.  

• Are there discounts for children, students or seniors?

  School groups can get discounted tickets to attend weekday student matinee performances. Please call our Box Office team  at 403.294.7447, Monday: 10am to 5pm MT, Tuesday through Friday: 10am to 8pm MT, Saturday: 12pm to 8pm MT (Closed Sunday & Statutory Holidays) for more details or by email.

  Patrons aged 65 and older can buy discounted tickets for Senior Saturday matinees. Seniors Saturdays are held on the third Saturday of each show’s production run. Please call our Box Office team  at 403.294.7447 to ask about availability.

  We strive to make prices accessible for everyone – children and students included – starting from just $44 (plus processing fee).

• Can I bring my baby to a performance?

  Theatre Calgary’s recommended age is 6 years and up. Babies and toddlers can be disruptive to fellow patrons, so we’re unable to admit babes-in-arms. Children need their own tickets, and we ask that they’re able to sit comfortably in their own seat for the show’s duration while being respectful to their neighbours.

• Do you have special rates for groups?

  Our Theatre for All initiative continues in our 2024-25 season. This is a $44 ticket initiative that will make the high-quality theatre we produce more accessible for you and your team and more affordable than ever.
    
  Group bookings at Theatre Calgary offer a unique and memorable experience that is perfect for team building, client appreciation, or simply having a good time. Our theatre can accommodate groups of all sizes, and we offer flexible booking options, discounted rates for premium seats, and a range of additional services, including pre-show receptions, backstage tours, and post-show discussions with panelists.
