As a cornerstone of the Coeur d'Alene arts community, Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre is thrilled to deliver exceptional performances to our stage, captivating audiences with the magic of live professional musical theatre. We're excited to welcome both returning patrons and new faces eager to experience our outstanding productions.

At Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre, we want to ensure you have a secure and reliable ticketing experience. Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre, along with select hotel concierge desks, are the only authorized ticket sources for our venue. Tickets are exclusively available through our website at cstidaho.com, in person at our box office, or via the concierge desk at select local hotels & resorts. No other platforms or individuals are permitted to sell tickets for our performances.

When searching for information about Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre online, you may encounter sponsored ads or listings from third-party brokers claiming to offer our tickets. These brokers are not affiliated with us and are not authorized to sell Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre tickets. Additionally, fake tickets are frequently sold on Facebook, often in the comments of posts about our shows. These offers typically come from seemingly legitimate individuals claiming they can't attend due to an emergency or other personal reasons. 100% of these Facebook ticket offers are fake and will result in invalid or fake tickets, leaving you out the money you paid and without a ticket to attend our shows. To ensure a legitimate and enjoyable experience, always purchase tickets directly from Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre via cstidaho.com or our in-person box office.

What's The Problem?

Third-party ticket brokers, resale websites, and individuals on social media:

• Are not permitted to sell Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre tickets under any circumstances

• Will provide fake or invalid tickets that will not grant entry to our performances

• Misrepresent their affiliation with Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre, appearing legitimate despite having no connection to us

On Facebook, scammers often pose as fans or locals in the comments of posts about our shows, offering tickets with excuses like: 

• "I bought tickets for [show name], but my family had an emergency, so I'm selling them cheap!"

• "Can't make it to [show name] anymore, DM me for my tickets at a discount!"

• "Selling two tickets for [show name] because I got called out of town. PayPal only, message me!"

These are scams. Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre does not allow ticket reselling, and no legitimate tickets exist outside of our official channels.

Why It Matters

Purchasing from unauthorized sources, including Facebook sellers, will lead to:

• Invalid tickets that prevent you from attending our shows.

• A frustrating experience with no guarantee of entry.

• Missed opportunities to enjoy our productions.

For instance, we recently heard from a patron who attempted to purchase tickets for one of our productions from a Facebook user claiming they couldn't attend due to a family emergency. The patron paid $200 via Venmo for two VIP tickets, only to discover at the box office that the tickets were fake and invalid. Initially, the patron believed Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre was responsible for the issue, as the scammer's Facebook profile appeared trustworthy and referenced our show accurately. The issue? No one but Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre is authorized to sell our tickets, and those offered by the individual were not valid. This unfortunate situation highlights the financial and emotional toll of falling victim victim to these scams, as the patron lost money and missed the performance.

  • Profiles with minimal activity, few friends, or recently created accounts

  • Requests for payment via untraceable methods like Venmo, PayPal, or Cash App.

  • Pressure to act quickly with phrases like "first come, first served" or "won't last long."
