What is a Parent Pass?

Parent Pass Info

Parents with children in the show are entitled to purchase a Parent Pass.  The pass itself is a badge with a picture of your child(ren) and the show logo.  It's a fun keepsake, helps support Journey Theater, and will allow the holder to see multiple performances of the show (subject to seating availability) for a flat fee of $25 per pass.

Parent Passes may be purchased for the cast or crew member's parents, siblings and/or grandparents only, and each pass comes with a reserved seat in the parent pass section on Opening Night.   For all other performances, the Parent Pass holder may sign up to use an available, unsold seat.  These seats will be assigned by the box office committee just before the performance starts, by giving each pass holder on the list a ticket for an open seat, as available, in the order sign-ups were received.  In the event of a sold out performance, seats will not be available for Parent Passes.

If the Pass holder is working for his or her committee on Opening Night and will be unable to see that performance, they may reserve the seat for another performance.  Please contact the office as early as possible to make these arrangements - by email at b.maxwell@journeytheater.org, or by phone at
360-750-8550.

Parent passes are not guaranteed specific seats, therefore, they may not be used to sit with paid ticket holders.  Parent Pass holders wanting to sit with family or friends attending a performance will need to purchase a ticket with that group.

Please make a note of the deadline for Parent Pass orders, as late orders won't be accepted.

Thank you for your participation and support for this Journey Theater show!
