Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market ready for the season this month

Gearing up with special events plus online and discount tickets, the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market is prepared to offer the best of the best at their annual event coming to NRG Center on November 10-13.

Due to tremendous popularity last year, general admission tickets will once again be available for purchase online through Ticketmaster in addition to Houston-area Randalls locations. Children under 5 are free.

Four Day Passes are available  for $50 each at Market or order over the phone by calling 713-535-3231 prior to November 4, 2016. Tickets are good for repeat admission all four days and early 9:00 am admission Thursday and Friday.

“Our shoppers responded well to the convenience in being able to purchase tickets online last year, so we are bringing that option back in 2016,” said Patsy Chapman, CEO of the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market. “Pre-purchasing general admission tickets through Ticketmaster or Randalls is the easiest way to avoid lines and gain the fastest entry to the Nutcracker Market.”

General admission tickets are $18 at Randalls locations throughout Houston, or $18 plus fees and surcharges through Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will be available for $20 at the door during Market hours.

More than 300 merchants will travel from across the country to participate in the 2016 Nutcracker Market selling everything from unique gift items, home décor, to gourmet food, clothing, toys, jewelry and more! New vendors will join familiar favorites like the Texas Tamale Co. and the ever popular Donne Di Domani marinara sauce, plus home decorative accessories from Paul Michael Co., ornamental metal accessories from The Round Top Collection, and holiday decorations from Clutter Yule Love.
