Wheeler Opera House

This room is drawn to the Wheeler’s published capacity of 475 and its documented access routes. The availability shown here is sample data, not live ticket inventory. On the live site each seat state is read from Tessitura when the page loads and is never stored in WordPress.

The Key

  • Available 330
  • Sold 120
  • Held by the box office 25
  • Wheelchair space
  • Companion seat
  • Transfer seat, retractable armrest

Accessible Seating

  • Six designated spaces on the orchestra level, at the ends of rows E, H and K.

  • The seat beside each wheelchair space. The Wheeler holds these on request.

  • Seats with retractable armrests, so you can transfer from a wheelchair to a theatre seat.

  • The orchestra level and the boxes are reached by elevator. The balcony is reached by stairs and the Wheeler states it is not wheelchair accessible.

  • The hearing loop covers the whole theatre, so every seat on this map is in range. Receivers are available from front-of-house if your hearing aid has no telecoil.

Companion seating is held on request. If nothing here fits, call the box office on 970-920-5770 and someone will place you by hand.

Seat map of the Wheeler Opera House auditorium Seats are named by level, row and number, as in Orchestra F 12. Tab moves between the orchestra, the balcony and the boxes. Inside a level, the arrow keys move seat by seat and row by row.

The map scrolls sideways on a narrow screen. Everything it does is also on the buttons below.

    What Happens at Checkout

    Payment runs on Tessitura Ecommerce. It stays on the Wheeler’s own domain, under the Wheeler’s header and footer, in the Wheeler’s type and colour, so a patron never lands on a page that looks like somebody else’s.

    What Tessitura fixes, and no vendor can change, is the markup between them: the checkout form is a Bootstrap template we restyle rather than rebuild. Stoa would rather show you that seam now than discover it with you in month four.

    How this site is built

    The checkout, in three layers

    1. Wheeler Header, brand, box office line. Injected HTML.
    2. Tessitura Cart, delivery, payment. Fixed Bootstrap markup, restyled by our CSS: type, colour, spacing.
    3. Wheeler Footer, accessibility statement, contact. Injected HTML.

    Where this page’s information comes from

    One record, two systems, no copies. The show’s name and description are edited in WordPress. Everything on this page that changes by the minute, meaning which seats are gone, what they cost, and whether the performance is on sale at all, is read from the ticketing system and never written back.

    Ticketing system
    Seat availability, holds, prices, and the on-sale state. Read on every page load with no cache, because a stale seat is a double sale.
    WordPress
    Title, description, discipline, presenting organization, and imagery.
    The room
    Drawn to the Wheeler’s published capacity of 475, with Continental orchestra seating and no side aisles, and the access routes stated on the Wheeler’s own accessibility page. Row-by-row seat counts and seat-level availability are sample data rather than live ticket inventory.
    Production ID
    Not assigned. No live ticketing system is connected to this page.
