Loading the seat map and live ticket prices…

Use the interactive Virginia Theatre - Il seating chart to see exactly where you would be sitting for The Nutcracker. About 237 tickets are listed for this date right now, starting about $66.00. Listings are posted by independent sellers who each set their own price, which is why one section can show very different figures and the odd outlier well above the rest. Set your budget with the price filter, and weigh a lower-level seat against a better-value one higher up.

Prices in the seat map are per ticket and set by professional resellers, so they can land above or below face value. The booking fee is already included in the listing price. Any applicable tax is added at checkout, and a small number of listings add a delivery charge, so check the order total before you pay. Any "from" figure elsewhere on this page is an estimated starting point drawn from the catalog feed, not an amount you can necessarily buy at. The seat map is what shows real, buyable prices.

The Nutcracker tickets at Virginia Theatre - Il start at about $66.00 per ticket on December 5, 2026.

Prices are set by professional resellers and can be above or below face value. How buying on StubOrder works

How this price has moved

We have 4 price readings for this event going back 44 days. Over that time the lowest listing has ranged from $62.00 to $62.00. It has stayed within a few percent of where it started. At $62.00, our latest reading is the cheapest we have seen.

These readings are the lowest LISTING price before the booking fee; the booking fee, any tax and, on a small number of listings, a delivery charge are all added on top at checkout, so none of these figures is an amount you would pay. They are here to show movement, not totals. Sellers reprice at will, so past movement is a record of what happened, not a prediction of what happens next.

For The Nutcracker, can I walk to Virginia Theatre - Il from a hotel?

The hotels page for Virginia Theatre - Il answers that property by property: every card is labelled walkable, a long walk, or drive or ride, against its real distance from the doors. Worth checking rather than assuming before Saturday, December 5: a downtown arena usually has several hotels within a few blocks, while a stadium off a ring road can have nothing within walking distance at all, and leaving on foot afterwards is usually quicker than queuing for a car or a ride.
