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: (1): plan on attending an early week night (Monday or Tuesday) as these evenings are usually slower than weekends; also most matinees are not busy for lunch; or (2): arrive 1 hour prior to our Saturday or Sunday matinee and you can go right in and be seated. Normally, the shows that sell out in the dining area are the Friday and Saturday evening performances. If you wish tickets for either of these evenings, 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, Saturday & Sunday at 1 PM; Monday, Tuesday & Thursday at 6 PM & Friday at 3 PM. Boxoffice closes daily at 7:05 PM. Same day ticket sales only; no phone reservations. During busy periods, we reserve the right to open as much as 30 minutes early. Our balcony is open Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Popcorn, candy & soft drinks available for those not dining in our main floor seating area. 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.

Due to the nature of the first run film business, we usually are not sure of our upcoming titles until a week or two prior to the opening of a new film. When the next attraction is selected, it will be posted above.
