The Royal & McPherson Theatres are rental venues and as such the actual ticket price is remitted back to the promoter of the event. The only revenue that the Royal & McPherson Theatres Society receives on the sale of a ticket is the service charge. In addition there may be “service added” fees charged for purchase options, such as ordering online or over the phone. Those charges can be avoided by purchasing tickets in person at either of our box offices.
The service charge is based upon on the ticket price. A typical service charge is made up of a box office fee, printing charge and a facility fee. In some instances, there may also be a promoter added marketing fee and/or a charity fee. Additionally, we are contractually obligated to add other fees as deemed appropriate by the promoter.
There is a $3.00 per order handling fee when you purchase your tickets online.
There is a $2.00 per ticket handling fee when you purchase your tickets over the phone.
The length of an intermission can vary as it is determined by the promoter of the event but in general it tends to be approximately 20 minutes in length.
Every person in the theatre has to have a ticket, regardless of age. In some instances, the promoter will decide to give complimentary tickets to babies for some events, but if they have opted not to, then a ticket must be purchased. Please be considerate of others when making the choice to bring your baby to the theatre, and know that if your baby is disruptive, you may be asked to bring your baby to the lobby.
To qualify for a senior's discount, you must be aged 65 years or older.
