In addition to other discount ticket programs below, BalletMet has launched an expanded Rush Ticket Program and the new Pay What You Want program to make performances more accessible.

Senior Dress Rehearsals

Seniors ages 55+ can purchase tickets to special senior dress rehearsal performances.

Rush Ticket Program

The Rush Ticket Program now includes teachers as well as students, and those with a valid school ID can purchase $15 tickets to any show.

Pay What You Want program

The Pay What You Want program allows attendees to purchase discounted tickets to select performances on a first-come, first-serve basis. The price attendees choose to pay will support BalletMet productions, education, and scholarships.

Purchase both Rush and Pay What You Want tickets at the theatre box office two hours prior to the performance.

“Ticket prices shouldn’t stand in the way of experiencing art,” said Sue Porter, BalletMet’s executive director. “We want ballet to be accessible to anyone who wants to see it, and we hope the Pay What You Want performances will allow people to join us for any and every show this season.”

Columbus Metropolitan Library Culture Pass

A limited number of Culture Passes are available at all CML library branches and are good for all BalletMet performances.

Passes are good for two free tickets to the performance of your choice and may be redeemed only at the theatre box office two hours prior to the show time on the day you are attending.
