Arena Stage Announces Pay Your Age Savings Program

Beginning with the revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! this summer, Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater will offer tickets for patrons ages 5 to 30 in the new Pay Your Age savings program. This program was developed to foster relationships with younger generations and allow them to experience theater at Arena Stage that might otherwise be cost-prohibitive. 10,500 tickets have been designated for this program throughout the 2011/12 season. Pay Your Age tickets for Oklahoma! will become available by phone and at the Arena Stage Sales Office starting Monday, May 9, 2011.

Pay Your Age tickets go on sale two months prior to the first public performance of a production. Patrons may purchase tickets by phone or in person, limit of four Pay Your Age tickets per household. Proof of age for each member of the party will be required at time of purchase and/or pickup from the box office. A limited number of Pay Your Age tickets will be guaranteed available per performance on a first come, first serve basis. The Pay Your Age program replaces the $15 tickets for 30-and-under patrons program that was in effect for the past several seasons concluding with the 2010/11 season.
