General Admission Table Purchase can be made in one of three ways:

“Two-top” tables (very few available at each show).

“Three-top” tables

“Five-Top” tables

INDIVIDUAL TICKETS ARE NOT SOLD THIS YEAR due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In order to ensure the safety of our guests and staff, we are requiring that tables be purchased this year in place of the individual tickets. 

Meal selections must be made at the time of the table purchase. Orders will not be processed without meal selections. Meal selections include an Adult Meal, Kid’s Meal, or Vegan Meal. All meals were created to accommodate major food allergens. Additional meal requests CANNOT be made.

What if I don’t have enough people to fill a table? 

If you have more seats at your table then people, you can choose an “add-on” in place of a meal. Add-on options will include a to-go Wizarding Dessert Box (to include 1 slice of butterbeer cake, 2 exploding bonbons, and a sprinkle explosion cupcake) items or a “Wizarding Fruit, Cheese, and Vegetable Platter, AKA Professor Weasley’s Herbology Tasting Plate” for your table. The "Herbology Tasting Plate" will feed up to two guests.

All guest meals MUST be accounted for before any “unused seats” can be claimed for add-ons. I.E. If you have five people at your table, you must select five meals.

All individuals over the age of 2 must have a seat. Children two and under may sit in someone’s lap and do not require a seat reservation.
