Tickets are the gift that skips the wrapping paper and the return line. This guide sorts LA and Orange County shows by season, price and popularity: holiday hits, crowd pleasers, tickets under $50, or the full lineup from acclaimed institutions like the Ahmanson Theatre, Geffen Playhouse, and Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Not sure what they'd want to see? A TodayTix gift card lets them choose the night themselves.
Frequently asked questions
What makes theatre tickets a great gift?
There’s nothing better than sharing an experience with someone. Treat yourself and those you love to theatre tickets this holiday season and choose from a broad range of shows near you.
What if the recipient wants to choose a different date or time?
Want to choose a different date or time? No problem! As long as you add ticket protection to your order, you can cancel your booking up to 24 hours before the show begins and receive a TodayTix voucher for the cost of your tickets and transaction fees. To make it even easier, all of this can be done through your TodayTix app. Learn more about ticket protection.
How do TodayTix gift cards work?
You choose an amount from $10 to $300, and the gift code arrives by email as soon as you check out. Forward the email, text the code or print it, and your recipient enters the code at checkout on TodayTix.com or in the TodayTix app. The balance carries over, so they can spend it on one big night out or across several bookings. Learn more about TodayTix gift cards.
Do TodayTix gift cards expire?
No. TodayTix gift cards have no expiration date, and any remaining balance stays on the card until it is used.
What can I use a TodayTix gift card on?
A TodayTix gift card can be used to purchase any event on TodayTix across our U.S. markets. Your recipient picks the show and the date.
