Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere

Payment

Centre In The Square’s BOX OFFICE accepts major credit cards, debit, cash and Centre gift certificates; gift certificates require box-office or phone redemption, and cheques are not accepted for regular ticket sales. Confirm concession, bar and merchandise methods separately. These ticket-office methods do not establish universal cashlessness, mobile-wallet acceptance or a cash-conversion service.

Water & drinks

Centre In The Square’s FAQ prohibits outside food/drinks. No ordinary sealed-water or empty reusable-bottle exception, numerical capacity or refill provision is established. Its separate permission to take purchased concessions and lidded drinks into the auditorium is not permission to bring outside drinks through entry. Coordinate necessary medical/infant liquids directly.

The experience

  • Watch out for: Use Centre In The Square’s post-2024-renovation Main Theatre chart; it does not describe the separate Studio. The lobby elevator does not reach the right Balcony level, so confirm the route to your exact seat with the box office. Limited infrared assisted-listening devices are available at Guest Services with a credit card held as security. Every attendee needs a ticket; under-one babes-in-arms tickets are limited and issued on show day, subject to event age rules. Strollers stay outside auditorium doors, clear of aisles.
