WCT’s popular Pay-What-You-Can (PWYC) program is back for our Saturday, 2:00pm matinees in the 22/23 Season!
For each performance, we reserve a limited number of seats for PWYC. The number of seats reserved depends on the venue:
At the Sagebrush Theatre, we reserve 150 tickets: 100 seats are available for sale at 12:01am the day of the performance for online sales. 50 seats are available for sale at 1:00pm in person at the Sagebrush Theatre.
At the Pavilion Theatre, we reserve 30 tickets: 20 seats are available for sale at 12:01am the day of the performance for online PWYC sales. 10 seats are available for sale at 1:00pm in person at the Pavilion Theatre.
1) Online – no waiting in line! You can print the tickets at home or display them on your smartphone. These tickets are available online starting 12:01am, the day of the performance.
2) In-person – at the theatre, beginning one hour prior to our 2pm performances. Payments are by cash. Some credit/debit purchases are possible (see FAQ's below).

That’s up to you! We encourage you to pay as you are able. There is no minimum – or maximum – amount.
Please note that when purchasing online, we offer prices in $5 increments, beginning at $10. Tickets purchased online also attach a $1.25 + GST Capital Improvement Fee (CIF) per ticket.
You will receive the best seat available at the time of booking. Book online for the best availability and to avoid waiting in line! For in-person sales, we recommend arriving early to get the best seat possible.
Our PWYC tickets are based on limited availability; therefore, we cannot guarantee availability or specific seats. We do guarantee a minimum number of seats are reserved per PWYC performances (see above for numbers per theatre).
If you are concerned about getting a seat, we recommend purchasing a subscription, flex pass, or single ticket at our market rates. Click here for subscription and flex pass pricing.
At 12:01am on the day of the performance, a limited number of seats will be released for sale.
To purchase the best seat available at that time, visit kamloopslive.ca, select the performance, and choose tickets at any of the PWYC prices. Online ticket purchases are subject to the following conditions:
Even if online PWYC sales sell out, our reserved block of seats for the “at-door” sales will remain held until one hour prior to the performance. At that time, we begin selling tickets to patrons in the order they arrive at the door.
Subject to availability, we are happy to book your PWYC ticket in either our “Limited Mobility” or “Accessible Seating” sections.
Please note that these sections of seating are extremely popular and may not necessarily be available during the PWYC online or at-door sales periods. We encourage you to contact the box office in advance if you require an accessible or limited mobility seat, which are reserved for patrons who specifically request them and are available by calling the Kamloops Live! Box Office at 250-374-5483, or in person at the door.
At 1:00pm, one hour before our Saturday Matinee performances, we accept cash at the door for in-person purchases. Seats are assigned on a best-available basis, first-come, first-served. Please pay as you are able. As an outdoor wait may be necessary before the lobby opens, please dress appropriately for the weather.
Yes – but please arrive early to allow some time for processing. All sales are final. There are no exchanges or refunds on these deeply discounted tickets.
Unfortunately, due to the deeply discounted ticket price, we do not allow seat exchanges on PWYC tickets, whether purchased online or at the door.
