How not to pay extra fee to see the "nutcracker ballet" show

December 2, 2013 10:53 AM

I am going to buy six tickets for Bay Pointe ballet's nutcracker show in San Mateo, CA. If I buy tickets on their website. I need to pay $15.5 for fees. I wonder if anybody knows if I can save those fees when I go to their box office in San Mateo to buy tickets directly. I was not successful when calling them to find out the answer.

They don't have a box office. They're performing at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center, which is attached to the high school. It is not staffed during business hours as far as I know, and from looking at Bay Pointe Ballet's web site, it doesn't look like you can buy tickets on the day of the performance at the venue.
