Discounts are available to groups for 20 more for most shows. Groups receive two dollars off the regular ticket price. Please contact our Group Sales Manager for a complete group sales package.
Only one payment is accepted for the entire group at cut-off/release date (see below), no individual payments are accepted. Master Card, Visa, Checks (personal & business), Cash.
As a group leader you may not know exactly how many tickets you will need.
Canton Ballet’s group sales program will allow you to purchase only the tickets that you need. You can place tickets on hold today for any performance that is coming to Canton Ballet. Your final payment is due at the cut/off release date (THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE DATE.) You only pay for the tickets that you need. In other words, if you hold 50 tickets and you only need 46, you only pay for 46. It's that simple! If you discover that you are going to need more tickets than what you originally placed on hold, just give us a call, and based on availability, we will place your tickets as close to the original order as possible. Groups MUST remain over 20 to receive the discounted rate.
Larger groups have the option of choosing more than one performance date and will be allowed to offer up to three dates for their staff to choose. Each of these optional performance dates will need to have 20 or more attendees per date—Only one-cut off/payment date will be allowed for all dates.
Promotional materials are available for most shows to assist you with the publicity of the event in your organization. We can provide you with promotional copy for newsletters, along with posters, flyers and/or handouts—and any press reviews we have received. We are here to help you market this event to your group with as little to no stress as possible.
The Palace Theatre has five spaces available for wheelchairs. Canton Ballet offers assistance to assure that groups receive accessibility accommodations. You will be helped with any wheelchair guests and provided accessible seating.

Start early by selecting a performance and pricing section (or two) that would appeal to your group. Mail out or send an email to get the consensus on a performance date and price. Last minute groups will require extra effort, but can be done easily!
To help you promote and keep track of who is coming, have several sign up sheets throughout the office/building. Canton Ballet can provide you with performance posters if needed. For the sign-up sheet, make sure you fill out all of the information about the performance before posting: performance name, time, price etc. Additionally, let your group know whom they should make the check payable to—usually company and/or group leader. Also, NEVER give the cut-off date given to you by Canton Ballet, as your office/group cut off date. Make your cut-off date at least one to two weeks earlier—if possible.
