Event Details

When will tickets go on sale?
Ticket sales start Sunday, November 1 at 8:00 AM.

What's included with my ticket purchase?
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.

How do I get tickets? Can I get them at the box office?
Tickets are available online only. These screenings sell out in advance, and tickets will not be available at the door! We urge you not to purchase tickets from someone offering them on social media. Scammers have attempted this in previous years.

The PDF of my ticket says a different event date/time than in my Apple Wallet.
You’re not seeing things! Please go off the date on your ticket, not what appears in Apple Wallet. Our ticket tool requires us to pick one “main” date and time, and that sometimes appears in your Wallet as the event date. But rest assured, the correct showtime is shown on the PDF version of your 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 particular seats in the auditorium?
No, all tickets are general admission. We recommend arriving early if you're attending with a large group. Doors open one hour before showtimes.

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 get a refund or exchange my tickets for a different date?
All ticket sales are final. Refunds will not be offered for any reason, including selecting the wrong screening or wanting a different date. 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 inbox. If you don't see your tickets there, try to retrieve them here. If you have tried both of these things and you still don't see your tickets, please reach out to us and provide your full name and the date your bought 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 soon as you buy them. If you can't find your ticket, you can retrieve them here.
