Standby Tickets

Sometimes advance tickets are sold out, but don’t despair. A limited number of “standby tickets” will be available at the venue just before showtime.

If you want to explore this option, arrive at the box office early and join the “standby line.” Be advised: When this line is admitted, it will be one ticket per person — you won’t be able to buy tickets for anyone who isn’t present.
