Buying Dance Tickets

Dance is part of an ancient tradition, but you can purchase tickets to a public dance performance using entirely modern technology. Make your life easier by researching dance companies and season schedules online, and then buy your tickets via the company or an online vendor.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Local papers generally list upcoming dance shows from touring companies performing in your area as well as shows from local groups. The Web sites of major companies usually provide information about dance performance tours; for example, the New York-based Alvin Ailey Company is currently doing a North American Tour.
  • Ticketmaster and Telecharge.com sell tickets to all major dance events.  If you’re looking for discounted or hard-to-find tickets, you might have better luck at one of the smaller sites listed below.
