Cirque du Soleil

Wednesday, May 14: 7:00 pm

Tickets
When you registered for Forum, you indicated your preference for the Cirque du Soleil show you would like to see. That ticket has been reserved for you and can be picked up on Tuesday between 9:30 am and 6:30 pm, or on Wednesday, between 7:00 am and 1:00 pm, in Lando 4201A on Level 4 of the hotel.

Tickets will be handed out in random order and you will not be able to choose the location of your seat. There is no rush to pick up your tickets as each person who has requested a show is guaranteed a seat.

The bar code on your badge indicates which show you have selected. The bar code also indicates if you have purchased a guest ticket for the show. Bring your badge to Lando 4201A and we will take the tear-off coupon in exchange for your actual show ticket.

If you lose your tear-off stub, bring your badge with you to the ticket pick up area and we will still be able to issue your show ticket. Please note: Lost tickets, once claimed, cannot be replaced.

Attire for Cirque du Soleil
Business or party attire is appropriate for the theatre.

How to sit with friends or co-workers
You can arrange this in one of two ways:

Come together to pick up your tickets and we will issue you tickets in adjacent seats.
Assign one person to pick up the tickets and have everyone give that person their show coupons. We will issue a ticket for each coupon submitted, including eligible guest passes.

Changing your show selection
If we have tickets available as of 1:00 pm on Wednesday, we will be happy to provide you with a ticket to the show of your choice. Unfortunately, we have a limited number of tickets for each show and may not be able to accommodate your request on site. Check at the onsite registration counter to see if tickets are available and to change your selection.

Purchasing additional tickets online
Additional tickets for Cirque du Soleil can be purchased online through your Forum registration form. The cost is $250 per guest. You must be 21 years old to attend.

Purchasing additional tickets on site
If tickets for Cirque du Soleil are still available, you can go to the onsite registration counter and we will be happy to help arrange a guest ticket for you. Credit card payment for the guest tickets will be accepted. Guest ticket prices include the pre-show reception, and transportation to and from the theatre if required.

Transportation
We will provide bus transportation to and from the show "O" only. Buses will depart from the lower level of the Venetian Congress Center between 6:30 pm and 6:55 pm. Please take the escalators outside the Venetian Ballroom. Buses will return 15 minutes after the conclusion of the show.

LOVE is showing across the street at the Mirage—a quick five-minute walk from the Venetian. Please be in your seats 15 minutes prior to the start of the show.
