Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Get Tickets?
Tickets are available online only starting Friday, November 1. These screenings sell out in advance, and tickets will not be available at the door.
We strongly urge you not to purchase tickets from someone offering them on Facebook. Scammers have attempted this in previous years.
What's included with each ticket?
In addition to the screening of The Polar Express, enjoy free hot chocolate (for everyone) and a free Santa sleigh bell (one per child).
Do I need a ticket for my infant/toddler?
Yes. All guests, including babes in arms, must have a ticket.
Will the concession stand be open?
Yes, you're welcome to purchase popcorn, candy, and drinks at the concession stand. We will also offer free hot chocolate to all attendees.
Can I reserve seats?
No, all tickets are general admission. We recommend arriving early if you're attending with a large group. Doors open one hour before each screening.
What are my parking options?
Free street parking is available along State Street, in the municipal lot between Washington and Centre Avenues, or the municipal lot next to Newtown Borough Hall (23 North State Street).
Can I exchange my tickets for a different date?
All ticket sales are final. Refunds or exchanges will not be offered for any reason, including illness or selecting the wrong screening. There are no exceptions to this policy.
If you can't attend, you're welcome to give your tickets to someone else. The name on the ticket does not have to match the person using it.
I didn't receive an email with my tickets.
First, check your junk or spam folder in your email inbox. If you don't see your tickets there 12 hours after purchasing, try to retrieve them here. If you have tried both of these things and you still don't see your tickets, please email manager@thenewtowntheatre.com with your full name and the date your purchased your tickets.
Should I bring my tickets to the event?
Yes! Electronic or hard copy is fine. We recommend printing them out (or saving them to your phone) as soon as you buy them. If you can't find your ticket, you can retrieve them here.
I have a question that wasn't answered here.
Please email manager@thenewtowntheatre.com. We are often unable to respond to last-minute emails on the day of each screening, so get in touch as early as possible!
