Streaming FAQs

A stream is a live or pre-recorded video of a performance that you watch online.

When browsing CenterTix, some events are labeled as “Streaming” or “Virtual Event".

To get your access to a stream, select “Purchase Stream” next to the event you want to watch. You’ll login to your CenterTix account and enter your credit card info as you complete your purchase. Later, you will watch the stream from your CenterTix account.

An email reminder will be sent to you the day of your stream that links to the login page. Once you login to your CenterTix account, you’ll be able to access your stream with the “Launch Stream” button next to the date and time of the stream you are watching.

Not all events will be streamed. Some events will continue to perform before a live audience only. Some events will only stream to a virtual audience whereas some will be mixed with both a live audience and a virtual audience.
