We receive quite a few inquiries about our reservation policy for our dining area. The reasons we do not accept phone or internet reservations are: (1): we do not accept credit or debit cards for ticket sales; (2): seating assignments are done from a seating chart that is only available in the boxoffice for the same day as the performance.

There are a few ways to avoid the "sold out" issue in dining: plan on attending an early week night (Monday or Tuesday) as these evenings are usually slower than weekends; also most matinees (except Saturday & Sunday) are not as busy for lunch. Normally, the shows that sell out in the dining area are the Friday and Saturday evening performances; however, due to the popularity of this film, we may sell out other performances as well. If you wish tickets for any show, plan on being in line by at least one hour prior to the scheduled opening times listed below. Please call our information line (757-393-6962) for additional up to the minute seating availibility.

The Commodore boxoffice is open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday at 12:45 PM; Monday & Tuesday at 5:45 PM. Boxoffice closes daily at 7:05 PM. Same day ticket sales only; both the 2 PM & 7 PM shows go on sale as soon as the boxoffice opens. No phone reservations. The box office will open early (up to 20 minutes) if there is a line to purchase tickets. Our balcony is open Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Popcorn, candy & soft drinks available for those not dining in our main floor seating area. Cash only accepted in the balcony concession stand. Sorry no phone reservations can be taken. Same day ticket sales, in person, at the boxoffice. Cash or Commodore Theatre gift certificates are the only forms of payment accepted for tickets. Credit & debit cards are accepted in the dining area. 24 hour Theatre & show information: (757) 393-6962.
