Ticket Purchase FAQ

How does the online queue system work?

Visitors may begin entering the online queue at 9:45 a.m. At 10 a.m., everyone already in the queue is randomly assigned a sequence. Any new visitors that join the queue after 10 a.m. will be served in the order they joined.

Why do you have an online queue?

Our online queue prevents our servers and ticketing system from getting overloaded.

Once I enter the online queue, do I need to keep my browser open?

Yes, to stay in the queue, please keep your browser window open.

Can I purchase tickets by phone?

Yes, but please note that we have limited phone lines and staff available to process orders by phone.

Can I purchase tickets in person?

Are tickets in my shopping cart reserved for me?

Tickets in the shopping cart are not reserved until the transaction is complete.

I purchased my tickets online, but I haven’t received a confirmation email. Did it work?

On busy on-sale dates, confirmation emails may not arrive until a couple hours after completing the purchase. Confirmation emails are sent from "tickets@botanicgardens.org" and may automatically filter to junk or spam folders.
