Art Cards

Art Card Discount Program Policy

The Art Card is a discount ticket program designed for individuals aged 18 and over who have actively participated in the creation and production of theater in Arizona within the last year. The program aims to provide affordable access to live theater performances at The Phoenix Theatre Company. This policy outlines the eligibility criteria, application process, renewal procedures, and guidelines for using the Art Card.

To be more environmentally friendly, we have moved from issuing a new card every year to issuing a durable reusable card. Your eligibility will be validated and updated in our ticketing system on an annual basis.

To qualify for an Art Card, individuals must meet the following criteria:

  • Be 18 years of age or older.
  • Have participated in the creation/production of theater in Arizona within the last year. This includes actors, directors, choreographers, musical directors, stage managers, production teams, prop masters, wardrobe crew, and set/costume/lighting designers.

Note: Employees of arts organizations not mentioned in the above categories may be eligible upon additional review and approval.

Student Rush Tickets

For individuals under the age of 18, Student Rush tickets are available at the same price as Art Card tickets.

Using Your Art Card

Art Card users have two options for purchasing tickets:

  1. Online: You may purchase tickets online on the day of the production. To utilize your Art Card online, log into your account with The Phoenix Theatre Company and enter the promo code “ARTCARD” (all one word). You can select up to two tickets at the Art Card price, and additional tickets will be at full price. Please note that the final price may not show until the checkout process begins. Online purchases are only available on the day of the production.
  2. In-Person: You can purchase tickets in-person at the Box Office window one hour before showtime. Please arrive early, preferably 60 minutes before showtime. In the event of last-minute rushes at the window, the Box Office will prioritize Will Call and full-price customers before assisting with Art Card ticket purchasers.
