Performance FAQ's
Tickets may be purchased through the Ballet Theatre of Maryland's official website, at www.BalletMaryland.org, 24 hours a day. Please note that online ticket sales for individual performances will close at the start time of the show on the day of the performance.
Audience members interested in purchasing tickets within two hours of show time may do so at the BTM Box Office located on the 2nd floor of Maryland Hall, which opens 1 hour prior to curtain. Tickets are subject to availability.
The only way to ensure your ticket purchase is valid is to purchase directly from the Ballet Theatre of Maryland via Eventbrite. We’ve seen websites selling our tickets for higher prices, but to ensure you’re getting a valid ticket please buy your tickets from BalletMaryland.org.
When you buy from BalletMaryland.org you are assured your tickets are valid, and your seats are reserved for you/your family/your party. You even have the flexibility to exchange your ticket/s to another performance as tickets remain available.
Our goal for each performance is to create wonderful, lasting memories for you, your family, and your friends. If you have questions, let us help you by contacting us at 410-224-5644 or by email at btmmgr@balletmaryland.org. We look forward to seeing you soon!
