Two performances per season (two sets of two complimentary tickets) are offered to military households over the course of the 2019–2020 Titans Season—one performance in the 2019 calendar year and one performance in 2020. Additional tickets are available for sale. Ask about military and student discounts!

Performances by Dayton Ballet, Dayton Opera and Dayton Philharmonic are included in the schedule.

Tickets are available at Ticket Center Stage, located in the Wintergarden of the Schuster Center at 1 West Second Street (at the corner of Second and North Main Streets in downtown Dayton) or by calling (937) 228-3630 to reserve your tickets. A valid active-duty military, veteran, or government civilian ID must be presented in person.
