Ticketing outlet staff undertake counter sales only and are unable to make unpaid reservations or take phone bookings. Outlets can usually sell tickets right up until the start time of performances (unless sold out earlier), however please note that sales to some events not being held at the Darwin Entertainment Centre may cease earlier than usual.

Occasionally, when tickets are sold from ticketing agencies outside of the Box Office, you may be charged an agency fee, the amount of which is usually determined by the agency responsible for selling the tickets.

Most evening performances held at the Centre commence at 8:00pm, however this does vary and we recommend that you read your ticket or the performance information carefully to be sure you don’t miss the start.

The time printed on the ticket or displayed in performance information is the time that the performance actually commences. Most artists request that latecomers only be admitted at a suitable break in the program, which may not be until interval. To avoid missing the performance or inconveniencing the artists and audience members we advise patrons to be at the theatre at least 20 minutes prior to the start time.
Bar facilities open one hour prior to the start of the performance and doors to the Studio and Playhouse usually open 15-20 minutes prior to the performance start time.
