FAQ

USERNAME AND PASSWORD

Q. I have a user account with the Stratford Festival; why can't I use it to log in to the store site?

A. Currently, the main theatre website and the store website are two separate entities. While you may have a user name and password linked to your account to purchase tickets on the main website, the store site does not have access to that information. You can use the same information on the store site but you will have to enter it in again as though it is a new account.

PROMOTIONS

Q. I received a promotional offer for $2 shipping. How do I redeem the offer?

A. Once you have filled your cart with $50 or more worth of merchandise, after discounts, and have entered your shipping information, the checkout screen will offer $2 shipping. If the shipping destination is within Canada, the shipping option will be "Canada Post Regular". If the shipping destination is within the United States, the shipping option will be "Canada Post Small Packets Surface USA". Shipping options will not be shown until you enter your shipping information.

Q. Why won't my promo code work?

A. Make sure you have entered the correct promotional code and have pressed the SUBMIT button. Be sure there are no warning pop up screens in the upper right corner of the screen.

Q. I received a promo for discounted shipping; how do I get the discount?

A. Promotional shipping deals are associated with minimum purchase amounts. Be sure your cart total is of a value greater than the promotion. Once your cart shows a balance of the promotional amount to qualify, shipping charges for Canada Post Regular for destinations in Canada and Canada Post Small Packets Surface USA for US destinations will change to the discounted charge. Choose the appropriate shipping method and the charge will apply to your purchase.
