  • Use promo code 20FOR20 to redeem this offer. Online, available in advance until they’re sold out for every main series show. Limit 2 tickets per person.
  • By phone at 312-335-1650 on the day-of show at 12pm for main series performances. Limit 2 tickets per person. (These tickets are very popular and can sell quickly! To improve your chances, we suggest calling as soon as we open and staying on the line until an associate can help you. Calls will be answered in the order received.)

Rush tickets

Half-priced tickets for main series shows are available on the day of the performance, one hour prior to curtain. Tickets are only available in person at the Box Office and are subject to availability. Limit 2 tickets per person.

Pay-What-You-Can Tuesdays

Tuesdays just got a bit more exciting! For all Tuesday main series shows, we are extending tickets for most seats (all seating zones except A) for whatever price you can pay. Purchase Pay-What-You-Can tickets by phone at 312-335-1650.

Preview performances

Preview performances are typically the first 1–2 weeks of the run, a dynamic time when the director and designers may still be making adjustments to the play. Previews offer an opportunity to get a first peek at the show on stage at a lower ticket price.

Flex membership

A flex membership is the perfect way to save on tickets (and get extra perks) if you plan to visit Steppenwolf several times a year.

A Black Card membership is like a punch card with six ticket credits, good for one year from purchase date. Learn more about Black Cards.

Under 30 years of age? The RED Card = 6 ticket credits for $99. Use them however and whenever you want. Learn more about RED Cards.

Group Tickets

Groups of 6+ get a discount on tickets to all main series performances. Purchase 6 or more tickets in the same order and get $10 off each ticket. (Not valid along with other offers.)

Have a larger group? We have easy options for booking students, friends, colleagues or any type of group to see a show together. To find out more about our group services and discounts please visit the Group discount section.

Student Tickets

Students can receive discounted tickets to all of Steppenwolf's programming, get invitations to exclusive events and have the opportunity to work behind the scenes. For a complete list of all student offerings, please visit the Student discount section.

Military Discounts

For over 40 years, Steppenwolf has proudly hosted the Veterans' Night Series. Made possible by the generosity of the Gary Sinise Foundation, this series has provided tickets at no cost to over 800 veterans each year. In the 2023/2024 season, we expanded our offerings by adding activities like pre-show talks, backstage tours, and partner fairs to each performance.

Individual veterans and their families can reserve tickets online. Please click here for details about our next show.

Additionally, Steppenwolf is a proud member of the Blue Star theater program, which offers discounts to our service men and women and their families.
