*Youth - Tickets for under 12 are free. There is no need to register their ticket online. When you arrive at the registration desk please let the staff know that you will be attending the show with children so they provide a stamp for proof of payment.

*Please Note:

1) There will be tickets sold at the door in limited quantity. The ticket price at the door is the same as the ticket price online. You can pay cash, debit or credit.
2) Unlike other Hors Pair events, where we release 70% tickets online and keep 30% for the door, all of the tickets (100%) are being released at once. We are not reserving a percentage for the door. Meaning, if there are 50 tickets left on the day of the showcase, we can only sell 50 tickets at the ticket booth. There will be no additional tickets reserved at the door. We highly recommend purchasing your tickets online. Tickets at the door are not a guarantee.
3) Tickets are non-transferable, meaning if you’ve purchased tickets under your name, they cannot be given and transferred to someone else. You must request a refund. The other person must purchase tickets on a separate order.

*Valid Algonquin College student ID is required to access and use this ticket type.

All ages event. Free entry is provided for children under 12 years old; however, it is compulsory for children under 12 to obtain a ticket, and registration is only accessible at the Box Office.

About Hors Pair Social

Hors Pair Social is a social group and events company based in Ottawa. Founder and community-builder Sharlène Clarke created Hors Pair Social to respond to the gap in entertainment for young black adults in the capital by hosting curated social and entertainment events.

About the Ottawa Arts Council: 

Established in 1982, the Ottawa Arts Council (the Council) is a bilingual service organization that advances, promotes and advocates for the arts in Ottawa. As a commitment to BIPOC artists the council created the Mandala Project: an initiative focused on showcasing the work of artists and collectives from equity-seeking communities. Mandala is an initiative launched in response to the call from Ottawa’s IBPOC Arts Community for stronger representation and advocacy within the arts sector. Thanks to this initiative they will be supporting the Ottawa Black Creatives’ Hub Performing Arts Showcase.

FAQ:

Can I purchase tickets at the door?

Yes. There will be tickets sold at the door in limited quantity. The ticket price at the door is the same of the ticket price online.  You can pay cash, debit or credit.

At what time can I purchase my ticket at the door?

You can purchase your ticket at the door on the day of the show starting at 5:00pm.

Patrons are welcomed to stop by at Box Office to purchase their tickets during the operating hours (2:30pm-6:30pm Monday to Friday) after the event goes on sale, and they are also able to purchase at the event day.

If I cannot attend anymore, can the ticket be transferred to someone else?

ACT Box Office can assist transfer tickets if the patron is able to provide the email address/phone number of the individual they would like to transfer their tickets to; or they can leave their name and we can print out the tickets for pick up.

I won’t be able to attend but I’d like to financially support this project.
