HOW TO RENT THE ARLINGTON THEATRE:
(Below is a step by step process to book and produce your event)
1. AVAILABILITY
Please enter your information below in our form or call our office at 805-963-9580 and ask to speak with the General Manager. We can check the venue calendar to see if the date of your proposed event is available. If it is, we can put a hold on the calendar for you.
2. ESTIMATE
After a date is on hold, you will work with the GM to get a quote based on the needs and timing of the event. Please note that all quotes are estimates and can change if there are changes to the event. Once you provided a show rider, the union stagehands technical director will discuss the performance with you and create a cost estimate.
3. CONTRACT
Once you have approved the estimate, you will need to put in a non-refundable $900 deposit (amount subject to change) and sign our rental agreement.
4. TICKETING
Once the deposit and signed contract are in hand, the box office can start building the show in the ticketing system. The Arlington Theatre has a contract with AXS.com and all ticketed events must use this platform. You and the box office manager will work together to get all of the details and pricing of the event listed on AXS. Show builds usually take between 2-3 days. Please keep this in mind when looking at on-sale dates, including any pre-sale/fan club dates. Tickets go on sale once the show is built in the system on the agreed date. Reports and ticketing information will come from our Box Office Management Team.
