How to Get Access First

If you’ve ever wondered “Are tickets on sale yet?”, you’re not alone. We hear this question every day, especially when new Broadway titles or Theatre Company productions are announced. Ticket on-sale dates at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) don’t all happen at once, and they can vary by show, season, and subscription type.

Here’s how the on-sale process works and the easiest way to stay in the know.

Why Don’t All Shows Go On Sale at the Same Time?

Ticketing for theatre runs on a rolling schedule. Factors like tour routing, performance dates, and subscription fulfillment all affect when tickets are released. That’s why:

• Some shows may already be on sale
• Others may be announced but not yet available
• On-sale timing can differ between Broadway, Theatre Company, and special events

Rather than memorizing dates, the most reliable place to check availability is always an individual show page.

Subscriber Presales: How Early Access Works

Many DCPA ticket buyers gain access before the public through subscriptions. Subscribers typically receive:

• Early access to tickets
• Priority seating options
• Exchange benefits and savings

If you see a show announced but not yet available to the public, subscribers may already be purchasing tickets. To see all subscription options and benefits in one place, visit our Subscriptions page.

Broadway vs. Theatre Company Subscriptions

DCPA offers multiple subscription paths depending on what you love to see.

• Broadway Full Season subscriptions provide early access to touring Broadway productions and reserved seating.
• Theatre Company subscriptions offer early access to locally produced plays across multiple venues.
• Premium subscriptions, 30 & Under memberships, and flexible voucher options also are available.

Each subscription type has its own on-sale timeline and benefits, which are detailed on their respective pages.

Not Ready to Subscribe? You Still Have Options

If you’re not a subscriber:

• Public on-sale dates are listed on individual show pages
• Signing up for DCPA emails ensures you won’t miss announcements
• Many shows also offer last-minute rush tickets or low-cost options

Even popular shows often have multiple ways to attend once performances begin.

The Best Way to Never Miss an On-Sale Date

To stay informed:

1. Check individual show pages for the most up-to-date information
2. Sign up for DCPA email alerts
3. Consider subscribing for early access and priority seating

Ticket availability can change quickly, but with these tools, you’ll always know where to look.
