The NAC has put many measures in place to ensure the experience of visiting the NAC is safe and comfortable for you, our staff and the performers. In accordance with Ottawa Public Health guidelines, masks should be worn at all times in the venue. NAC venue capacity is reduced to ensure physical distancing and there will be restricted pathways established to aid visitor circulation and to ensure distancing measures are respected.

For children shows or non-NAC presented shows, all patrons need a regular ticket. For other select NAC shows, "Babes in Arms" tickets are available for children under two years of age. These tickets have no seat location indicated on them thereby permit a child to sit on a parent's lap. "Babes in Arms" tickets are the price of the lowest regular ticket price sold in the hall for the particular event. If a child is using a seat, they will regular a regular ticket. This policy will vary by event so please inquire at time of purchase.
