Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before joining us under the Big Top.

Need help with tickets, seating, promotions, accessibility, or your upcoming show? You’ll find answers to our most common questions below.

Section 1

Tickets, Orders & Confirmation Emails

Everything you need to know after you purchase.

I purchased tickets but haven’t received them. What should I do?
Your confirmation email is your ticket. First, search your inbox for “Your Tickets Are Confirmed! | Le Cirque de France” or search for [email protected]. Please also check Spam, Junk, Promotions, and All Mail. If it is still missing, contact our team with the purchaser’s full name, the email address used at checkout, and your performance date and time.
Do I need to print my tickets?
No. Please have your ticket confirmation email open on your phone when you arrive. We recommend using the digital ticket rather than printing it.
What exactly counts as my ticket?
The Le Cirque de France confirmation email sent after your completed purchase is your e-ticket. It contains the order details our team needs at entry. Keep it accessible on the device you bring to the tent.
My ticket email was resent but I still can’t find it. What should I check?
Please check every mailbox folder, including Spam, Junk, Promotions, Updates, and All Mail. Search both the confirmation subject line and [email protected]. If the purchaser used a different email address at checkout, search that inbox as well.
I entered the wrong email address when purchasing. What should I do?
Contact our team as soon as possible. Include the name used at checkout, the incorrect email address, the correct email address, your performance date and time, and the approximate order total. This allows us to locate the order and help update the delivery email safely.
You can’t find my order under my email or phone number. What information should I provide?
Please send the purchaser’s full name, every email address that may have been used, the performance date and time, the approximate purchase date, and the last four digits of the card used. Do not send a full card number or sensitive payment details by email or text.
Can I purchase another ticket after I already placed my order?
Yes. You can place an additional order online while tickets remain available. Each completed purchase receives its own confirmation email. If you need different seating or a different performance, use our main website to see the options currently available.
I pre-ordered popcorn or snacks. Where is my confirmation?
Your snack selections are included with your order confirmation. When you arrive, go to the designated snack pickup area and show that confirmation. If you cannot find it, follow the same email-search steps above before contacting support.

Section 2

Refunds, Cancellations & Ticket Changes

Plans change. Here is what can and cannot be adjusted.

Please note: Le Cirque de France tickets are non-refundable except in the event of a cancelled performance. Service and convenience fees are also final. View Full Terms & Conditions.
Can I get a refund if I can no longer attend?
Tickets are non-refundable except when a performance is cancelled. Service and convenience fees are final. If you cannot attend, please contact us promptly; where possible, we may be able to discuss a move to another available performance at the same location.
I accidentally selected the wrong date or show time. Can I change it?
Contact us as soon as you notice the error. A same-location performance change may be possible when the requested performance has sufficient availability. Changes are not guaranteed, especially near showtime or once a performance is sold out.
Can I transfer my tickets to a different city?
No. Tickets are issued for a specific city and performance, and city-to-city transfers are not available. Please review your location, date, and time carefully before completing checkout.
If my show time was changed, will I receive new tickets?
Yes. If our team confirms a performance change, we will provide updated confirmation details for the new performance. Please use the updated confirmation email at the entrance.
Can I cancel just one ticket from my order?
Individual tickets cannot normally be cancelled or refunded from a completed order. If you need help with a scheduling issue, contact us promptly and include the exact number of guests affected so we can review the options available.
I accidentally purchased the same tickets twice. What should I do?
Please contact us immediately and include both order confirmations, the purchaser’s name, and the performance details. Do not use or share either duplicate order while our team reviews it. Duplicate-order questions are handled case by case.

Section 3

Early Bird Tickets, Flash Sales & Special Offers

Our promotions can vary by show, location, timing, and availability.

A note about promotions: Throughout our time in each city, we may release limited offers through specific ads, promotional pages, flyers, coupons, or local partners. Promotions are subject to availability and must be redeemed according to the terms of that specific offer.
What are Early Bird tickets?
Early Bird tickets are a limited introductory price released before regular pricing. They are available only while the allocated Early Bird supply remains and may not be available for every performance.
Where can I purchase $15 Early Bird tickets?
When an Early Bird offer is active, it is available only through its designated Le Cirque de France promotional page or link. The regular event page may show only the standard ticket options after Early Bird inventory is exhausted or the offer has ended.
Why am I not seeing the Early Bird price?
The limited allocation may be sold out, the offer may have ended, the selected show may not be eligible, or you may be viewing the regular ticket page instead of the specific offer link. Please use the official link associated with the promotion.
I purchased tickets and then saw a cheaper promotion. Can I get the difference refunded?
No. Promotions have their own release dates, eligibility, quantities, and terms. Tickets purchased before or outside a promotion are not retroactively repriced, and the price difference is not refundable.
Can I refund my tickets and repurchase them using a promotion?
No. Completed ticket purchases are non-refundable except in the event of a cancelled performance. Promotional pricing cannot be applied retroactively by cancelling and repurchasing an existing order.
Can a promotion be applied to tickets I already purchased?
No. Promotional offers apply only to eligible tickets purchased through the correct offer page or link during the offer window, subject to that offer’s stated terms and availability.
How does the Date Night promotion work?
A Date Night offer is a limited package for the exact ticket quantity, seating tier, eligible performances, and price shown on its promotion page. It must be purchased through that specific page while it remains available; it cannot be combined with other offers unless the page explicitly says so.
Will you have another sale before the show?
We cannot promise future promotions. The best way to see any active offer is to follow our official pages and social channels. If a promotion is available, it will have its own terms, eligible performances, and inventory limits.
What is a Flash Sale?
A Flash Sale is a limited-time or limited-availability offer released for specific performances. It is available online only through its designated link and may end without notice once its time window or ticket allocation is reached.
Are promotions available on Eventbrite?
No. Le Cirque de France promotional offers are available only through the official offer page or link provided for that promotion. Use the link in the advertisement, flyer, partner message, or official Le Cirque communication.

Section 4

Coupons, Free Tickets & Family Passes

Have a promotional pass or coupon? Start here.

I have a Buy One Adult Ticket, Get One Child Free coupon. How do I use it?
Use the official offer link printed or provided with your coupon. Select the eligible performance, then choose the required paid Adult ticket and the included Child ticket. One free Child ticket is permitted for each qualifying paid Adult ticket, and any additional Child tickets are priced as shown during checkout.
I have a Free Kids Ticket coupon. How does it work?
Use the exact offer link or redemption instructions supplied with the coupon. Free-ticket coupons are valid only for eligible performances, while capacity remains, and according to the stated coupon terms. They cannot be exchanged for cash or combined with unrelated offers unless specifically stated.
What if the show sells out before I use my Free Kids Ticket coupon?
Coupons and promotional passes do not override a sold-out performance. If the selected show sells out, please check the regular event page for another available performance. Availability and eligible dates may vary by the specific promotion.
I received a complimentary Family Pass. How do I use it?
Follow the redemption link or instructions that came with your Family Pass. The pass applies only to the quantity, ticket type, and eligible performance stated in the offer. It must be reserved while availability remains and is not redeemable for cash.
What does the Family Pass include?
The included tickets are listed on the Family Pass offer page or in the instructions provided with the pass. Please review those details before reserving, because quantities, ages, seating type, and upgrade options can differ between promotions.
Will my Family Pass guarantee that we have seats?
A Family Pass is not a guaranteed reservation until you complete the required reservation process and receive confirmation for a specific performance. Like all offers, it remains subject to capacity and the terms of the pass.
Can I upgrade my Family Pass to Preferred or Ringside?
Some Family Pass promotions may offer a paid Preferred or Ringside upgrade when seats remain available. If an upgrade is offered, the eligible choices and price will appear on that promotion’s page. Upgrades are not guaranteed and vary by performance.
How do local shopping-centre or partner discounts work?
Local partner offers follow the instructions given by that partner and may require an official link, receipt verification, coupon, or other eligibility step. They are location-specific, subject to availability, and cannot be applied to prior purchases.

Already have tickets? Upgrades may be available depending on your performance and remaining seating. Contact our team before your show for the most accurate options.
What is the difference between General Admission, Preferred, and Ringside?
General Admission is standard seating. Preferred offers closer seating, and Ringside places you closest to the action. Seating areas and exact views can vary slightly by venue, but the ticket tier shown at checkout is the tier you reserve.
How does General Admission seating work?
General Admission seating is first come, first served within the General Admission area. Arrive when doors open to give your group the best chance of sitting together and choosing from the available General Admission seats.
Can I upgrade my tickets after purchasing?
An upgrade may be possible when Preferred or Ringside seats remain for your confirmed performance. Contact us before arriving with your order details. Upgrades are subject to availability and the difference in ticket price.
Can I upgrade an Early Bird ticket?
Early Bird tickets are General Admission tickets. If closer seating remains, an upgrade may be available for the difference between the Early Bird ticket price and the current price of the requested seating tier. Contact us to confirm availability.
How much does an Early Bird upgrade cost?
The upgrade amount depends on the ticket price you paid, the requested tier, and current availability. Please contact our team with your confirmation details before showtime so we can confirm the exact amount, if an upgrade is available.
When should I arrive to get the best seats?
Doors open 45 minutes before showtime. For General Admission, arrive early to have the widest choice of available seats. Preferred and Ringside guests should also arrive with enough time to check in and be seated before the performance begins.

Section 6

Bringing Children to the Show

A few helpful things for families joining us under the Big Top.

Children ages 2 and under are admitted free when seated on the lap of a paying adult.

Yes. Children age 2 and under attend free when seated on the lap of a paying adult.

What if I want my child under 2 to have their own seat?
Please purchase a Child ticket for the appropriate seating area so a chair is reserved for them. Children with their own seat must be included in your ticket quantity.

Section 7

Our Big Top uses movable individual chairs, allowing our team to accommodate wheelchair seating throughout our seating areas. If you have a specific accessibility need, please contact us or speak with our team when you arrive.

No special wheelchair ticket is required. Purchase the appropriate ticket for the guest attending, then contact us before the show or speak with the onsite team at arrival so we can arrange the accessible seating space.
Where will wheelchair seating be located?
The exact location is arranged based on the venue layout, the performance, and available seating at the time. Our team will work to provide a safe, comfortable location with an appropriate view and access path.
Can a support person or caregiver attend for free?
Support-person options are handled individually and may depend on the applicable location, performance, and current program availability. Please contact us before purchasing whenever possible so we can confirm the correct process for your visit.
Do you accept the Access 2 Card?
If you have an Access 2 Card, please contact us before purchasing with your performance details. Our team will confirm the current eligibility and support-person process for the location and performance you wish to attend.
