IMPORTANT TIPS FOR PURCHASING TICKETS ONLINE!

  •  Auditorium's Box Office system is now enhanced with the power of Ticketmaster. Visit www.tbca.com  and click on the "Tickets" or "Buy Tickets" tabs to purchase your tickets. This will take you directly to the offical Ticketmaster site to complete your purchase without any risk of landing on the wrong site.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: When purchasing tickets, always ensure that the web address in your browser window is either the www.tbca.com or  www.ticketmaster.ca websites. There are many unauthorized resellers online who charge very large premiums, and often in different currencies, to resell tickets to you. Shows in the Auditorium are only ever sold in Canadian Funds.  The Community Auditorium and Ticketmaster are extremely limited  in the support that they can provide for tickets purchased through unauthorized resellers.
  • IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PHONE, YOU CAN STILL ORDER YOUR TICKETS FROM A COMPUTER.  When you place your order, you will be emailed a receipt which you can bring down to the Box Office,  along with photo ID,  any Wednesday between 12:30 pm and 5:30 pm to have your tickets printed. The Box Office also opens three hours prior to any ticketed show, and is happy to assist as needed at that time as well.
  • When purchasing from a phone or mobile device, the screen defaults to "Best Available" seating. If you would like to pick your own seats from the seating map, click on the "Switch to Map" button on the top left-hand part of the page.
  • ALL SALES ARE FINAL. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES through the Auditorium Box Office, but often tickets can be legitimately resold through your Ticketmaster app (subject to individual show allowing tickets to be resold).  For support with  reselling tickets visit:  Reselling Tickets With Ticketmaster
  • Advertised ticket prices are subject to handling charges. Handling charges may vary from show to show, and the method in which they are ordered.
  • If you don't receive an email with your receipt, be sure to check your email junk folder to ensure that it isn't there. 
  • We are not responsible for issues with connecting to our ticketing system for ticket sales. Every effort is made to ensure that customers will be able to connect to our online ticketing system. However, due to issues with many different brands and versions of virus protection, firewalls, routers, etc., we are not responsible for issues that arise from your computer or mobile device not being able to properly connect to our ticketing system to complete your purchase.
  • For help with problems or concerns, feel free to visit us in-person on Wednesdays between 12:30 pm and 5:30 pm, in the three hour window prior to any ticketed show, or  visit:  Ticketmaster Customer Service
  • Patrons exhibiting physical violence, hostile or threatening behavior or language (either in-person or through email/text or phone) may have service refused, their orders cancelled, be asked to leave the premises, or be removed from any concert.
