20 for $20
Twenty $20 tickets are available:
- 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-Will Tuesdays
Need a reason to look forward to Tuesdays? Steppenwolf offers ten (10) Pay-What-You-Will tickets for every Tuesday performance in our Membership Series productions. Tickets are subject to availability on a first-come, first-served basis and can only be purchased in-person at the box office starting one hour prior to curtain.
PWYW tickets are non-transferable, exclude zone A seats and not applicable on standby seats.
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.
- The RED Card = 6 ticket credits for people under 30. 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.
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.
Additionally, Steppenwolf is a proud member of the Blue Star theater program, which offers discounts to our service men and women and their families.
Corporate Discounts
As a benefit of their support, Steppenwolf's corporate partners are eligible for group rates, public recognition, discounts, private events and much more. Enjoy a more connected entertainment experience and entertain staff and clients alike with the best theatre in town.
