Purchasing Tickets

 

This code “wolf” is to be entered when purchasing tickets online, or spoken to the

Box Office staff if the patron is making a phone transaction.  The 6^th Street Playhouse has blocked off enough tickets to insure that 50-70 patrons from the Jack London Symposium will be accommodated on Friday, September 16th. However, as with any group ticket sales on any show, they encourage us to place orders as soon as possible.

The promotional code discount ($5.00 off) is only good for regular Adult

Tickets, as the Senior, Youth, and Child ticket prices are already

discounted by at least that much.  When purchasing online, there will be a

prompt for the code to be entered, which will apply the $5.00 discount to

the ticket sale upon check-out.  Call-in orders just need to mention the

password to the Box Office staff.

Purchase by phone at (707) 523-4185 ext 1; Tuesday – Friday from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm and Saturday from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm., or by using our 24-hour voice mail.
