A Buck a Kid: $1 Youth Tickets for the 2026–2027 Season

At Gallagher Bluedorn, we believe that the magic of live performance should be accessible to everyone, including the youngest members of our community. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer our “A Buck a Kid!” program – a transformative opportunity for families to share unforgettable experiences without breaking the bank.

What is "A Buck a Kid!"?

For select shows with “A Buck a Kid!” designation, two $1 youth tickets (for ages 15 years and under) are available for each adult ticket purchased. We hope to help alleviate some of the cost barriers to enjoying world-class performances with your kids and making memories without sacrificing quality.
