1. Purchase your pass

To use either a Frequent Fringer or Munch Card pass, first you need to purchase one! Click here to view and purchase available passes.

Note that you will have to log in or sign up for an account in order to purchase your pass — in doing so, this assigns the pass to your account. Once you’ve purchased that pass, when you log into your account, the website will recognize your pass, and how many ticket punches you have remaining.

2. Log into your account

When you’re ready to buy your tickets, log into your account—the same one you purchased the pass under.

3. Add tickets to your basket 

Add either the $13 or $16 ticket (depending on the show; if there are two ticket types, it doesn’t matter which you pick!) to your basket. Because you are logged in and the website knows you have a pass on your account, it will zero out the cost of the tickets once added to your basket.

Note:  If your basket is not reading $0, make sure you are logged in.

4. Check out!

From here, go through the checkout process as if you were paying for your tickets. You will know your tickets have been booked when you receive your ticket confirmation email, with the receipt of the specific shows you have purchased  and a QR code at the top. If you have not received a confirmation email, you have not received your tickets—please contact the box office.
