General Ticket Policies

Beginning Thursday, June 13, 2024, all print-at-home and mobile tickets will be sent 48 hours before showtime. Please make sure you use a valid email when ordering and add boxofficesupervisor@olneytheatre.org to your address book to ensure delivery. This change does not affect Classic member or All-Access member tickets.

- Performances begin on time. Late seating is at the discretion of the House Manager
- The theatre opens approximately 30 minutes before curtain for seating
- Seating for most events is assigned unless General Admission is noted on your ticket.
- No one under the age of 5 is permitted into the theatre at Season shows with the exception of FROZEN. Please consult age guidelines at Theatre for Young Audiences performances.
- All ticket sales are final. Please consider reading our Content Guidance page before attending a production.
- Discount codes, when available, cannot be combined with other offers and are never valid on previously purchased tickets.
- Prices subject to change.
- Olney Theatre Center works with a very limited number of secondary market re-sellers, including TodayTix and Certifikid. Olney Theatre Center is not responsible for tickets sold by unauthorized secondary re-sellers and may choose not to honor them. In the event of a cancellation, we will not refund tickets acquired via second-party resellers. To protect your purchase, we strongly discourage using ticket procurement services such as Vivid Seats and tickets-center-dot-com.
- How do I know if I'm using a ticket procurement service?
According to a new Maryland law that takes effect July 1, 2024 ticket procurement services must identify themselves clearly by disclosing the following:- That the tickets they are selling are speculative tickets, and the reseller is not in possession of the tickets
- That the reseller is making an offer to procure the tickets for the prospective purchaser
- For seated events the re-seller must be able to give you the specific seat number of the tickets or disclose that the reseller cannot guarantee the specific seats because the tickets are speculative tickets.
