Tacoma Arts Live requires a purchase order number, check, or credit card at the time of purchase to reserve tickets for the school day matinees. All payments are made on a non-refundable basis. A purchase order three weeks in advance of the scheduled event is required. Checks should be made payable to Tacoma Arts Live.

It is recommended that you purchase tickets early because education matinees regularly sell out.

Our Bus Fund can reimburse up to $100 of travel cost to attend a matinee.

To qualify, you must purchase 75+ tickets and have a school free and reduced lunch rate of 25% or higher. Email requests to education@tacomaartslive.org with the subject: Bus Fund Request. Include your school’s name and contact information, Education Matinee you are attending, number of tickets purchased, and your school’s free and reduced lunch rate.

Bus Fund Requests will be reviewed in the order received and are subject to fund availability.
