FAQ:
Do nominees get complimentary tickets? No. The only
complimentary tickets are provided for members of the press.
Everyone who wants a seat at the ceremony, needs to buy a ticket.
How much are the tickets? The tickets are only $15.50
(including an Alexandria City event tax). If you buy your tickets
at the Birchmere box office, you will pay only $15.50 each. If you
buy online through Ticketmaster, additional fees will apply for the
Ticketmaster service.
Does the ceremony ever sell-out? The Birchmere capacity is 500.
Our event usually sells between 430 and 480 tickets most years.
However twice in twelve years, the event has sold out. During both
of those years one or more of the nominated (performing) musicals
included young performers. It would seem that the "parents and
grandparents factor" is the tipping point. The first time the
event sold out, it happened only 15 minutes before curtain. In
2012, with "Annie" and two productions of "Hairspray" nominated, the
show sold out on the Thursday before the event.
WATCH AWARDS CEREMONY SNOW POLICY:
In case of inclement weather, check this website for postponement
information. We used to have a phone number listed here, but people kept
calling for tickets.
If you are looking to reach the Birchmere about a concert, go to the
Birchmere website.
The Eleventh Annual WATCH Awards was very successful evening with
a crowd of 490 artists in attendance.
Next year, your company could be the proud sponsor of the biggest night of
"Community Theatre."
