It’s also good to know a subscriber or two. So, you don’t want to commit to tickets a year in advance or you only go to the occasional show or you really want the cheapest possible deal, what then? There are usually offers on if you keep your eyes open or subscribe to the COC’s eOpera newsletter. In almost all cases tickets are somewhat cheaper if you are over 65 or under 30 and a lot cheaper for under 15s. It’s even a tad cheaper! There are also deals for three or four performance packages which might work for some people they are more expensive on a per performance basis. It looks very handy for people from out of town. Besides a subscription for a particular day of the week there is also a “weekend back-to-back” package which allows one to see all six operas on three weekends. You could be paying less than half what the person in the row in front of you paid! Select subscriptions for all six productions run from $199 in Ring 5 Middle to $2116 in the Grand Ring.

There are season subscriptions which save up to about 30% (the more expensive the seats the smaller the discount) compared to single ticket prices plus you can pick your dates and you get the best seats in each section. It’s not the absolutely cheapest route but the savings are pretty good. Well most of us aren’t under 30 so what then? If you intend to see more than three productions in a season (there are six productions per year) a subscription is a decent option. Alternatively, under 30s get about an additional 10% off subscription prices (see below).

For $35 you get a guarantee of a seat in 5B and a day of performance upgrade to best available. The best strategy is to be under 30! If you are you can buy tickets in section 5B for $22.
Here are some strategies for paying much, much less. So, the listed single ticket price ranges from $50 to around $350 but there’s really no reason to pay that. The best value for money are probably Rings 3 and 4 and the Orchestra Ring provided you can get something reasonably central and not too many rows back. The sound is great but opera glasses or binoculars are strongly recommended. Ring 5 is a relatively long way from the stage but nowhere near as far away as in a bigger house. The prime real estate is Ring 2 where single seats sell for around $350 rack rate dropping to $50 for half way back in Ring 5.
The big issue that determines price is really the view. Site lines are good from everywhere except maybe the extreme ends of the Rings and one can’t see the surtitles from the very back of the Orchestra Ring. The acoustics, good everywhere, are probably best in the Rings and not so good very close to the orchestra pit.

The layout is a typical opera house horseshoe so there are seats in rows at Orchestra level and then a series of horseshoes or Rings that wrap around the Orchestra seats at ever higher levels. It’s not a huge house either at 2100 seats so even the cheapest seats are much closer to the stage than in huge theatres like the Metropolitan Opera or the Coliseum in London. It’s a gorgeous theatre and really there are no bad seats. There are better strategies for COC than TOTix most of the time and so here’s a quick and dirty guide to saving money on COC tickets.įirst a word on the Four Seasons Centre which is the home of the Canadian Opera Company. Occasionally TOTix will work for the COC too but usually only for the less desirable seats like the back of Ring 5 or the rear of the orchestra. In practice this means the Canadian Opera Company because everyone else sells through some sort of ticket selling operation and the answer to the question is try TOTix and hope to get lucky.
