What is a "PROMO" Code?

The ETC Ticket Dept., can set-up a PROMO Code so that members of a group can buy individual tickets, instead of one person organizing and paying for all the tickets. Group members using the pre-arranged PROMO Code online will be taken directly to seats held for them on the specific performance dates. Tickets can also be purchased by telephone by providing the PROMO Code to the Box Office Staff. E-mail tickets@elmiratheatre.com to arrange for a PROMO Code for your group.

Can I attend a Dinner Theatre show date without buying the dinner?

No show-only tickets are advertised for sale on Dinner Theatre Dates. That being said, our opening Friday night and both Thursday performances in November are available for show-only tickets. Subject to seating availability, customers who missed/forfeited their Dinner Theatre tickets due to personal reasons, are allowed to watch the after-dinner performance on another dinner night. Please contact our ticket manager to confirm what is available: tickets@elmiratheatre.com.

I tried to buy 7 tickets online but I wasn't allowed to. Please help!

Not to worry! This is an unavoidable quirk of our online sales programs. The simplest way to overcome this is to phone KWTickets at 519.578.1570, or toll-free at 1.800.265.8977. The Box Office staff there will easily be able to sell you the seats you are looking for. Since our tables are set-up to seat 8 people our online system will not allow you to purchase 7 seats if it will leave the extra 1 seat empty.

Can I purchase Subscriber packages online?
