How our Flexible Ticket Pricing Works:

As part of our mission at Highwire Improv, we aim to make improv an art form that is simultaneously financiallly accessible to audiences and students and financially sustainable for performers and instructors. To achieve this, we offer three ticket options:

1. Free Registration tickets.
2. Pay What You Wish tickets.
3. List Price tickets.

The list price tickets represent a standard registration fee to cover event costs, including paying our instructors. Individuals are welcome to use this as a guide and decide to pay less or more than that amount.

Note that for some venues (such as Enoch Pratt Free Libraries), we may only offer free or donation based tickets to comply with space rental expectations.
