Please note that
There will be tickets sold at the door in limited quantity. The ticket price at the door is the same as the ticket price online. You can pay cash, debit or credit.
Unlike other Hors Pair events, where we release 70% tickets online and keep 30% for the door, all of the tickets (100%) are being released at once. We are not reserving a percentage for the door. Meaning, if there are 50 tickets left on the day of the showcase, we can only sell 50 tickets at the ticket booth. There will be no additional tickets reserved at the door. We highly recommend purchasing your tickets online. Tickets at the door are not a guarantee.
Tickets are non-transferable, meaning if you’ve purchased tickets under your name, they cannot be given and transferred to someone else. You must request a refund. The other person must purchase tickets on a separate order.
Location:The event will be held at the Algonquin Commons Theatre, inside the Algonquin College’s student commons. You can find the theatre by entering the Robert C. Gillett Student Commons building. There is parking available on site.
