Choose your seats at Al Larson Cultural Center
Loading the seat map and live ticket prices…
Use the interactive Al Larson Cultural Center seating chart to see exactly where you would be sitting for The Nutcracker. About 37 tickets are listed for this date right now, starting about $86.00. Every listing comes from an independent seller who sets their own price, so two seats in the same section can be priced very differently and you will occasionally see an unusually high asking price. 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 ticket prices for December 6, 2026 at Al Larson Cultural Center
The Nutcracker tickets at Al Larson Cultural Center start at about $86.00 per ticket on December 6, 2026.

Section and row do most of the work, and a Schaumburg, Illinois date can price differently from the same tour elsewhere. Open the seat map below to see live prices for every section.

How this price has moved
We have 5 price readings for this event going back 49 days. Over that time the lowest listing has ranged from $79.00 to $81.00. It has stayed within a few percent of where it started. At $81.00, our latest reading is the most expensive 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.

Frequently asked questions
For The Nutcracker, can I walk to Al Larson Cultural Center from a hotel?
The hotels page for Al Larson Cultural Center 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 Sunday, December 6: 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.
When should I book a hotel for The Nutcracker?
As soon as the tickets are settled. Rooms near Al Larson Cultural Center are among the first to go for Sunday, December 6, and what is left tends to cost more the closer it gets. The Hotels near Al Larson Cultural Center link on this page opens already set to that night. Each room is labelled free to cancel, non-refundable, or terms shown at checkout, so you can pick a rate you are able to cancel if the plan changes.
How much are The Nutcracker tickets?
Live prices for The Nutcracker at Al Larson Cultural Center are shown in the interactive seat map above. Pick a section to see the tickets available now and their current prices, which are set by sellers and may be above or below face value.
Is StubOrder affiliated with Al Larson Cultural Center?
No. StubOrder is an independent resale marketplace, based in Buffalo, New York, and selling tickets since 2006. It is not affiliated with Al Larson Cultural Center or The Nutcracker, or any box office.
Does the The Nutcracker ticket price include fees?
No hidden fees. The price on every listing already includes the booking fee, and each listing's details show the split (for example, ticket $311.00 plus fee $62.20 is $373.20). Only sales tax and, on a small number of listings, a delivery charge are added at checkout, and your full total is shown before you pay.
Will my The Nutcracker tickets scan at the entrance?
Yes. Every ticket sold through StubOrder is guaranteed authentic and valid for entry, so it will scan, and we take that very seriously. If the venue ever reports a problem with your tickets, the 100% Buyer Guarantee covers you.
How many The Nutcracker tickets can I buy at once?
Each listing sets the quantities the seller allows, and the quantity menu offers only those options. Open a listing above to see its available quantities.

Should I wait for The Nutcracker ticket prices to drop?
They can go either way. Of the 2,527 theater performances we tracked into their final days (October 3 to October 14, 2026), the cheapest ticket was lower by the day of the event than three weeks before for 13%, higher for 64%, and about the same for the rest. This performance's cheapest ticket has stayed within a few percent over the 49 days we have tracked it. To catch a drop, set the free price alert on this page and we will email you if it gets cheaper.
How are The Nutcracker tickets delivered?
Most orders are delivered within a few hours of purchase. Delivery method varies by listing: most listings deliver electronically, by mobile transfer or instant download, and some are shipped as hard stock. Mailed tickets, and mobile tickets that a team or venue releases only closer to the date, take longer: the seller sends them as soon as they can, and they arrive before the event under the 100% Buyer Guarantee. The delivery type is shown on each listing before you buy, and a small number of listings add a delivery charge.
Will my seats for The Nutcracker be together?
Yes. Seats within a single listing are adjacent unless the listing notes say otherwise. If you want aisle seats, look for them in the listing notes when you choose your seats, or at checkout.
How many tickets are listed for The Nutcracker?
Our latest check counted 37 tickets listed for this performance. That is fewer than most The Nutcracker performances, which typically have about 195, so the choice of seats is narrower. The seat map above shows every listing available right now, by section.
Can I get a refund if The Nutcracker is canceled?
If this performance is permanently canceled, your order is refunded in full under StubOrder's 100% Buyer Guarantee, including the booking fee; only a delivery fee, which few listings carry, is not refunded, and shipped hard-stock tickets may need to be returned first. If it is postponed or rescheduled, your tickets are normally honored for the new date.
Where should I stay for The Nutcracker?
The nearest rooms are the hotels around Al Larson Cultural Center, and the link on this page opens that list already priced for Sunday, December 6. They are ordered by real distance from the venue, and every card shows that distance, so you can weigh walking back afterwards against a cheaper room you would have to drive to.
