How Much Do Tickets to UnitedHealth Group Stage - Children's Theatre Company Cost?

UnitedHealth Group Stage - Children's Theatre Company ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from standard CTC productions to marquee, high-demand musicals such as Frozen.

For standard Children's Theatre Company productions, tickets are approximately $15–$50, depending on seat location, performance date, and demand. Rows farther from the stage and side sections are typically more affordable, while center orchestra areas can price higher.

For marquee or high-demand musicals, including major licensed titles such as Frozen, tickets are approximately $30–$80 or more. Weekend performances, holiday runs, and popular family production dates can command higher prices, especially in premium center seating.

Getting Ready for Your UnitedHealth Group Stage - Children's Theatre Company Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for a family theater outing with parking, ticket scanning, and seating before curtain.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself time for parking in the shared Minneapolis Institute of Art ramp and seating before curtain, especially for popular family matinees.
• Wear the right footwear. The theater is an indoor venue with minimal walking, but stairs access raised seating rows, so comfortable shoes are helpful for moving through the auditorium.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors and climate-controlled, but dressing for Minnesota weather matters when traveling to and from the theater.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Arrival periods can be busiest before popular family matinees, particularly when many guests are using the shared ramp and entering close to curtain.
• Know your entrance. Enter through the Children's Theatre Company building on 3rd Avenue South, then follow staff direction to ticket scanning and seating.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
