BodyVox Offers Free Tickets to Kids (Oct 25 Matinee)

October 16th, 2008

Updated: The BodyVox website is www.bodyvox.com. You need the “www” in the address; otherwise, the links on the website will not work. Links in this post have been fixed.

For 10 years, the performers of BodyVox have entertained audiences with shows that combine dance, theater, music and film. From October 22–25, BodyVox will perform their “greatest hits,” as voted on by fans, in a show called ENCORES: The Best of BodyVox.

The October 25 matinee will be a special one. At 2:00 pm, BodyVox will do a version of ENCORES designed specifically for children. The format of the show will be more kid-friendly than the other shows, and during intermission, kids will be invited to come up on stage to learn a dance from the dancers themselves. The dancers will also be available after the show to sign autographs and chat.

What’s more, there’s a special ticket deal. When you buy an adult ticket, you’ll get two free tickets for children aged 12 and younger.

To take advantage of the deal, you must buy your tickets from the BodyVox website, the Ticketmaster website or the PCPA box office. It looks like certain seats can be purchased from Ticketmaster and PCPA, while others can be purchased from BodyVox, so you may want to check out both options. Each option has a different discount password that you need to know.

• For Ticketmaster, go to this website, click on FIND TICKETS, enter the number of tickets you want under “Buy 1 Adult, Get 2 Kids Free” (the quantities are in multiples of three because they include the free kids tickets), select the price level, and enter the password FAMILY.

• At the PCPA box office, mention the password FAMILY when purchasing your tickets. The box office is open from Monday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The address is 1111 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97205.

• At the BodyVox website, click on the red “buy tickets now” box. Follow the prompts on the screens that follow. On the screen that asks you to select your seats, be sure to select three seats, if you’re planning to buy one adult ticket and get two free child tickets. Select six seats if you’re buying two adult tickets and so on. Then later, when you get to the screen called “Who Will Be Attending,” select the adult and child tickets. For example, if you’re buying one adult ticket, pick “adult” in one of the drop-down menus and “child” in the other two drop-down menus. When you get to the “Ticket Purchase” screen, enter the coupon code KIDSDANCE.

This poster also provides some information and includes a picture for kids to color and bring to the show. BodyVox will display kids’ decorated posters in the lobby. There will also be an art table at the show if kids want to color the poster there.
