RUSH LINE & NO-SHOW POLICY

Sometimes our shows sell out, and that can be a bummer for folks who didn’t get a ticket. We’ve developed a new ticketing policy that applies to advance ticket holders and those wanting tickets to ensure a fair, transparent process for releasing additional tickets to a sold-out show. Please read our full policy here.

TICKETING

Our new ticket type invites you to Pay What You Can Afford (PWYCA) which means that you can choose an appropriate level and where possible, help to offset community members attending at a discounted rate. Levels are decided by you based upon your income and financial flexibility and are not verified at the door.

ACCESSIBILITY INFO

BSMT 254 is not wheelchair accessible due to stairs to enter the performance space. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to matthew@musicgallery.org.

SAFER SPACE

We expect all attendees and community members to respect one another, and to respect the work that was created for you to explore. We will not tolerate harm or harmful behaviour of any kind. View our policy here.
