The Golden Snitch Ticket Lottery Is Now Open for “Cursed Child” Toronto

by · June 3, 2022

The magic of the Wizarding World has arrived in Toronto, Canada! On May 31, the Canadian production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at Toronto’s CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre opened its doors to its first audience. This long-awaited show was originally scheduled to open on October 23, 2020, but was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fans who have not yet gotten their hands on tickets to the show now have another opportunity to do so. Cursed Child Toronto is operating its own version of the Friday Forty, called the Golden Snitch Ticket Lottery, which lets fans enter into a weekly draw for the chance to purchase tickets to a performance the following week for only $40. Each week, entries will be accepted from Monday at 12:01 a.m. ET to Friday at 9:30 a.m. ET. Winners will be able to purchase a maximum of two tickets in random seating locations within the theater. Sign up on the Ed Mirvish website for your chance to win.

 

 

To celebrate the Canadian premiere, a special Cursed Child event was held at Yonge-Dundas Square on opening day. Attendees at this free event in the heart of downtown Toronto got the chance to meet the all-Canadian cast, take selfies in front of the Hogwarts House banners, and hop on the Cursed Child double-decker bus. Freebies were also handed out like House buttons and goodies from the Grand Order of Divine Sweets, which offers baked goods inspired by fandoms like Harry Potter. Fans who posted photos of themselves at the event and used the hashtag #CursedChildDayTO were also entered to win two tickets to the official media performance on Sunday, June 19. David Mirvish from Mirvish Productions and Toronto City Councillor Gary Crawford officially declared it #CursedChildDayTO.

 

 

New dates have also been announced, with 100,000 more tickets added for shows up until December 24, so hopefully, you can get a chance to see this magical production.
