TO GET YOUR TICKETS:
You are in for a treat, attending an event at The Nethercutt Collection. Here’s how to obtain tickets:
You can request tickets by phone only.
Call on the specified Wednesday at 4:00 pm sharp.
☎ 818-364-6464
The ticket phone line is open from 4pm to 6pm, but it’s
best to call right at 4 pm to ensure you get tickets before they’re sold out.
You must call in only at this time. You may order up to 4 tickets, and specify which show you wish to attend. Your tickets will be mailed to you unless you request will-call.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CALLING:
-
- Dial 818-364-6464. If you get a busy signal hang up and redial. (Remember busy signals?) Don’t give up; sometimes it takes 100 dials and up to an hour to get through. Everyone says it’s worth it.
-
- If you get a voicemail prompt just push 0 (zero) and this should put you in queue for the next live operator that picks up the phone. (Remember live phone operators?)
-
- When a person answers, they will ask you which show you prefer (see showtimes below) and how many tickets (you’re allowed up to 4). They will also ask whether you’ve attended before. They appreciate returnees as well as new guests.
- You can have the tickets mailed to you or held at will-call. (Mailing is better for you because an information sheet is enclosed.)
