WHAT TIME DOES THE CONCERT START?
All of our concerts start at 8:00 pm unless otherwise noted on your ticket. The concert bowl opens at 7:00 pm* at which time you may begin selecting your seats.
*Active Great Estates Niagara Wine Club members may select their seats in the concert bowl beginning at 5:00 pm.
WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?
BE PREPARED to allow plenty of extra travel time as performances are typically Saturdays, and often on long weekends, when traffic is at its worst!
The Concert Bowl opens at 7:00 pm* allowing for plenty of time to make your way into the theatre and be seated. We employ ushers to assist you with seating, if necessary. Those arriving after the show begins may not be seated until there is a suitable ‘break’ in the performance, as determined by the amphitheatre manager.

WHAT IF IT RAINS?
Rain or Stars, the show will go on. Whether it looks like rain (or not), we recommend you bring your umbrella, and light rain gear. Come prepared for any eventuality. As Mark Twain once said, “Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody”.
We do have provision of a limited number of complimentary rain ponchos. Keep in mind that this is outdoor seating, and the audience section of the theatre is not covered; we encourage you to come prepared with a light jacket and rain gear in the event that the weather turns inclement and/or the temperature drops when the sun sets. We want you to be comfortable!
The safety of our artists, guests and staff is always our top priority.
WHAT ARE GUESTS WEARING TO THE AMPHITHEATRE?
As an outdoor venue, comfort is the key. We encourage casual attire, and in the event of rain, the show will proceed. The audience section is not covered, so come prepared with a light jacket, rain gear and an umbrella in the event that the weather turns inclement and/or the temperature drops when the sun sets.
Wearing proper shoes can help prevent or reduce the risk of a slip, trip and fall incident. Don’t wear shoes with leather or smooth-surfaced soles, or spiked/high heels.

ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED IN THE AMPHITHEATRE?
Generally, we do not set age limits for any of our productions. Parents are reminded, however, that most live, professional theatre, unless advertised as being for children or for the family, is intended as adult entertainment and may not be enjoyed by, or be suitable for, children. Please be aware that if you do bring a young child and the child creates a disturbance, you may be asked to leave the amphitheatre.
DOES MY CHILD NEED A TICKET? CAN HE SIT ON MY LAP?
Everyone in a live theatre audience, regardless of age, must have a ticket. This is the case even if the child sits in your lap.
ARE THERE DISCOUNTS FOR CHILDREN, STUDENTS OR SENIORS?
We feel that our events are of high quality and excellent value. Ticket pricing is determined by the event.

Seating is general admission.
WHAT IF I LOSE MY CONFIRMATION LETTER OR TICKETS PDF?

I CAN'T USE MY TICKET, CAN I RESELL IT? I BOUGHT TICKETS FROM A THIRD PARTY, ARE THEY VALID?
