The Backdoor Playhouse has launched its new online ticketing system: buy tickets online, select seats in real time, and receive email confirmation, eliminating long queues and first come, first serve seating. As part of this upgrade, The Backdoor Playhouse will transition to a cashless ticketing process. Tickets will be available for purchase using credit or debit cards only, both online and at box office. This change supports faster transactions, improved security, and a smoother overall experience for customers. The system is officially live and customers can access it here!
