Cashless Payments for Snacks and Beverages at DPAC

  • Cash is no longer accepted for snack or beverage purchases at DPAC’s lobby bars or snack and beverage stands.
  • Snack and beverage purchases now require payment using credit or debit cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay or a DPAC gift card.
  • If you happen to arrive at DPAC with cash only, guests may purchase a DPAC gift card in $20 increments at our Entry Lobby Guest Services window. These gift cards can then be used at any lobby bar or snack and beverage stand.

Content Advisory

Not recommended for children under 8 years of age. Parental discretion is advised. 

As Broadway shows do not have uniform "ratings" like movies, ticket buyers taking responsibility for making informed decisions regarding their purchases can be difficult. We recommend visiting the official website of each show or for many current Broadway shows, the websites listed below can offer more details to learn more about the shows and national Broadway tours coming to DPAC.

If you ever have questions about the content of a show or appropriateness of a show for children and teens, you can always contact us at GuestServices@dpacnc.com.

Digital Lottery

A limited number of discounted tickets will be sold to winners of DPAC’s official digital lottery. Please visit Hairspray Digital Lottery for more information.
