Buy Cap City Tix Online

When we launched this fabulous website, about the only important element of the site that wasn’t operational was the section created to enable you to buy tickets online--the one labeled, not coincidentally, “Buy Tickets Online.”

Well, we did subsequently put the TicketWeb mechanism in place, so now it is possible to purchase tickets online for just about any Cap City show. Indeed, many of you have already used this feature, so you know it’s pretty darn convenient and easy:

You simply pick your night, pay for your tickets online--including a modest TicketWeb fee for the service--and turn up at the club, where your tickets are waiting. TicketWeb is a greatly respected, enormously experienced operation that was established in 1995.

Facilities that use their online ticketing services include the Louvre Museum in Paris, the New York City Fringe Festival,The Bowery Ballroom, the New York Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Symphony and a long list of music, comedy and other venues in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, elsewhere in the states, and in the U.K.

Throw in an extra three bucks per ticket and you can reserve your seat from our online seating chart. No more sitting in the rafters for you or your loved ones!

So give it a whirl, and if you have any questions about this, please call the club (512-467-2333).
