Oakville Centre ticketing does not allow for single seats to be left behind when purchasing tickets. This means that one ticket may not be purchased from a group of two, a pair may not be purchased from a group of three, six tickets from a group of seven, etc. The theatre is very intimate and allowing single seats to be left behind greatly reduces the number of pairs or groups that can be accommodated. If you don’t see the number of seats you are looking for, please call the box office for assistance. Our experienced staff can help you seat your party comfortably in the theatre! And please keep in mind that we can be more flexible with ticket selection within 48 hours of the event.
