What is the Candlelight Photo and how does it work?
The Candlelight Photo is an optional package: your photo is taken in a specially designated area at the venue, and each purchase includes 1 instant polaroid-style print. You can buy it online with your tickets, which gives you priority, or at the venue while it is not sold out, by credit card only (no cash). Photos are taken before the concert and the photo experience ends 10 minutes before it starts, so please arrive at least 30 minutes early. Venue staff will explain where to go once you are inside. The photographer validates the QR code sent to you in a separate email from your ticket confirmation. You choose your picture before it is printed; prints are made during the concert and collected at the exit, and pictures cannot be kept for you. If you leave without taking your pictures, the photo opportunity cannot be refunded or rescheduled. Refunds are only given if the photo opportunity is canceled for internal reasons.
What is the policy for Candle 3-Packs purchased online?
Candle 3-Packs purchased online must be collected at the designated location at the venue at the time of your event. As the Candle 3-Pack is tied to the specific Candlelight event date and location, all Candle add-on items purchased online and picked up onsite are non-refundable and non-returnable. All sales are final.
Is there a dress code? What should I wear?
There is no dress code. We recommend dressing comfortably, in clothes suited to the season.
How are seats assigned? Can we sit together?
Seats are not numbered: they are assigned on arrival, first come first served, within the zone you purchased. To sit together, your whole group needs to arrive at the same time with tickets for the same zone.
