Tickets for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat went on sale last week and they can be purchased from the following outlets in Boyle. Taylor’s Jewellers on Bridge St., Mary Magee’s on Main St. and UnabhánTourism in King House.
Tickets are priced at €15 but special concessions of €10 tickets for children, students and senior citizens, will be available for Thursday night’s show. Tickets will also be available at the door, each night.
Because of the change of venue this year, there is no specific seat allocation but a reserved area will be allocated to pre-purchased tickets. The earlier you arrive at the performance, with a pre-purchased ticket, the better your choice of seat in this area.
