Pay What You Can
Our Pay What You Can Nights at Lighthouse Festival mean everyone can enjoy live theatre. Every Tuesday night in Port Dover and Friday night in Port Colborne from May to September, we’re making it easier than ever to enjoy big laughs on a budget. Whether you’re near Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover or Roselawn Theatre in Port Colborne, you can snag tickets starting at just $18 – and if you want to pay more, we won’t stop you!
It’s the same top-quality, side-splitting professional theatre with more flexible pricing. Think of it as our way of saying, “Let’s all laugh together, no matter what’s in your budget.” Whether you’re a comedy connoisseur or just someone who loves a good deal, Pay What You Can pricing is your ticket to a hilariously good time.
Grab your seat, loosen your belt (for all the laughing), and see what all the fuss is about.
Because laughter should never break the bank, only your funny bone!
Pay What You Can (PWYC) pricing begins at $18 per ticket and increases in increments of $5. Patrons are welcome to pay above this minimum based on budgetary comfort. PWYC pricing is available exclusively for Tuesday evening performances in Port Dover and Friday evening performances in Port Colborne throughout Lighthouse Festival’s main summer season. Tickets at PWYC rates are subject to availability and can be booked in advance online, by phone, or in person. Early booking is encouraged to ensure preferred seating. All PWYC ticket sales are final. Tickets purchased at PWYC pricing cannot be refunded or exchanged for alternate dates or pricing tiers. Lighthouse Festival reserves the right to limit the number of PWYC tickets per patron to four to help ensure equitable access for all community members. PWYC pricing is based on an individual ticket offer and does not apply to Group orders, including those previously booked.
Date Night
Looking for a sign to book that date night? Here it is, with a discount! Lighthouse Festival is serving up Saturday evening laughs all summer with our Date Night pricing. Every Saturday from May to September in Port Dover and Port Colborne, you’ll get 25% off tickets for our side-splitting, joy-filled, (almost) totally Canadian comedy season. Whether it’s your first date, your fiftieth anniversary, or a much-needed night out with your bestie (we don’t judge), this deal is your ticket to top-tier entertainment and savings.
After the awkward small talk over dinner, head straight to the laughs. Bonus: no one ever asked a stage actor, “So, what are your hobbies?”
Snag your seats, save some loonies, and laugh together, because nothing says romance like shared giggles and belly laughs.
Date Night at Lighthouse: Less expensive than therapy. Way more fun!
Rush
Need a laugh and a last-minute plan? Lighthouse Festival’s Rush Tickets have your back! Starting at 5 PM every show night from May to September, you can score 50% off tickets to that evening’s performance. Yes, that’s right – half off! That’s not a typo, it’s just a very funny deal for our very funny shows.
Whether you forgot to plan ahead or suddenly realized your couch doesn’t do comedy, we’ve got you. Just swing by or call after 5 PM and snag same-day seats at a steal. It’s spontaneous, thrifty, and downright theatrical.
Rush Ticket pricing is available for all evening shows in Port Dover and Port Colborne. So if your day’s been a drama, let us fix that with a farce. Or a witty whodunit. Or a Norm Foster classic. You may not be sure what play you’re walking into, but you do know it’ll be hilarious.
Rush in and laugh out loud.
Only available for purchase starting at 5:00 PM on the day of the performance and applies only to that evening’s show in our main summer season. All Rush Tickets are 50% off the regular admission price, subject to availability. Offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with availability not guaranteed for any performance. Rush Ticket holders will receive the best available seating at the time of purchase. Specific seat selection is not guaranteed.
Under 30
Being under 30 finally pays off for something other than bouncing back quickly from a night out on the town. Lighthouse Festival has Under 30 pricing because you deserve laughs, not student loan fees. Every Saturday evening from May to September, anyone under the age of 30 can snag tickets to our side-splitting main summer season for just $29. That’s right – less than the cost of a decent brunch and way more filling (emotionally, anyway). Whether you’re a theatre-loving twenty-something or just here for a fun night out in Port Dover or Port Colborne, this deal is for you.
So grab your pals, flash that youthful glow, and get ready to laugh till you cry, without crying over your bank account.
Please note that tickets will be held at the box office pending age verification. We love your youthful spirit, but we’ll need to see ID before you head to your seat!
