La Slague's Fair ticketing system

Since the 2021-2022 season, Carrefour francophone and La Slague let you decide how much to pay to attend some of our shows or purchase our artistic products.

Why do we do this?

• Because rich and rewarding cultural experiences should be available to everyone.
• Because all of Sudbury’s Francophones and Francophiles should be welcome in a supportive and vibrant community.
• Because belonging to a culture and the quality of life fostered by the arts are human rights.

How much should your ticket cost?

We opt for a “pay what you can” approach, so that our audience feels comfortable choosing the rate that suits their current needs.

Here are the categories:

Easy Peasy Ticket
Regular Ticket

A ticket to make your life easier. An ordinary, simple and easy ticket option. You want to pay the show’s worth? You’ve chosen the classic option!

Good Scout Ticket
Solidarity Ticket

A ticket to help us out when things are going your way. You love cultural events and you want to lend us a helping hand? The Good Scout Ticket is what you’re looking for! So give yourself a good pat on the back, you’ve paid the show’s worth…and more!

No Stress Ticket
Reduced Ticket

A ticket so you can enjoy the show without worrying too much about the price. Are you a student or a senior? Do you have a lot of unexpected expenses this month? You’re always attending cultural events but it’s starting to affect your wallet? No stress, we got you! We want you to enjoy the show… and get a drink if you want to!

We would like to thank Théâtre Cercle Molière in Winnipeg, which inspired this fair ticketing system!

La Slague is a member of the Coalition for Fair Ticketing, which brings together cultural organizations wishing to jointly reflect on best accessibility ticketing practices and thus promote access to art and culture.

La Place des Arts du Grand Sudbury is La Slague’s official box office.

FAQ: Accessibility and mobility

How many spots are available for wheelchairs in the concert halls used by La Slague?

At Place des Arts, 12 seats in row F are reserved for people with reduced mobility in La Grande Salle. Keep in mind that there are no railings to go up to rows G to K. Please specify your needs so that the box office can offer you a suitable seat. In the black box cabaret format, all seats can be transformed into spaces for wheelchairs, walkers or companions. In bleacher format, 4 seats are reserved for people with reduced mobility.

For any questions, please contact the box office.

Are there reserved parking spots for people with reduced mobility near the front entrance?

Reserved parking spots for vehicles with a handicap parking permit are available near the entrance of the building. All ticket holders will receive details of the parking options before the date of the show, as each partner venue has its specificities.

At Place des Arts, two “drop-off” parking spaces are available on the corner of Larch Street, near the main entrance. The City of Sudbury allows a maximum of 4 free hours for any vehicle holding a regulatory pass.

Are there accessible washrooms for people with reduced mobility?

Yes, at Place des Arts, restrooms accessible to people with limited mobility are available on the first and second floors.

Are there any hearing loops to help with hearing impairment in the hall?

Place des Arts is equipped with hearing loops to make events accessible to individuals with hearing impairments. A hearing loop or magnetic loop is an aid that uses a magnetic induction loop.

If you would like to take advantage of this service, notify the box office to reserve a headset when you purchase your ticket, or a few days before the event you are attending. You can contact the box office at 705 885 1076, Tuesday through Friday, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., or email billetterie@maplacedesarts.ca.

NEWS: UPCOMING PEDESTRIAN CROSSING IN FRONT OF PLACE DES ARTS

We are pleased to share some great news regarding the work currently underway on Elgin Street.

We have received an update from the City of Greater Sudbury informing us that a pedestrian crossing will be installed on the street to make it easier to get to Place des Arts.

This improvement will make travel safer and more accessible for children, families, audience members, and our entire community.

We are very pleased with this significant step forward and will keep you informed of the next steps as work on Elgin Street progresses. Thank you for your cooperation and trust.
