HELPFUL TIPS
To ensure you enjoy your experience with us, here are some helpful tips for attending a Charlotte Ballet performance. If your question isn’t answered, our Associate Director of Marketing & Communications would be happy to help!
LOST TICKETS
If you can’t find your tickets in advance of the show, give the Box Office a call at 704.372.1000 to have them reprinted. It’s helpful to have your customer ID number or order number when calling. If you can’t find them on the night of the show, visit the Box Office when you arrive at the theater and they will be able to reprint your tickets.
TIMING
Every performance varies in length, but most are approximately two hours including one intermission. We recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance. The lobby opens an hour prior to the performance and the theater doors open 30 minutes beforehand.
INFANT TICKET POLICIES
Please note that all attendees require a performance ticket to enter the theater, including children.
DRESS CODE
There is not a dress code for performances. Some patrons choose to dress up for a special night out, while others wear more business casual attire.
