How to Get Free Tickets: Cole Brothers Circus

Cole Brothers Circus is a time-honored tradition in the spring and summer time, and you can find signs advertising free Cole Brothers Circus tickets for kids popping up roadside like mushrooms. Unfortunately, the signs are small and hard to read when you're driving by. Following are details on the circus and how to get Cole Brothers Circus tickets free for kids.

Cole Brothers Circus is the largest old fashioned Big Top circus in the world and has been running continuously since 1884. If you are used to the glitzy spectacular atmosphere of the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, Cole Brothers Circus will surprise you with its period charm. They really do travel from town to town, set up a tent and perform. It's like something out of a Ray Bradbury story. This circus was formerly known as the Clyde Beatty Cole Brothers Circus and you can read a photo documentary essay from one of its clowns here before you obtain your free Cole Brothers Circus tickets here to get an idea of what to expect.

Tickets for the circus are available from the ticket booth on the day of your show, from selected online ticket brokers, and they also frequently sell through local businesses or service organizations. These companies or clubs will often have printed coupons for free Cole Brothers Circus tickets for kids. If you've found the coupons locally, all you have to do is bring them to the ticket booth when ordering. However, you can also get the same deal from the Cole Brother Circus website.

The URL for the Cole Brothers Circus website is www.gotothecircus.com. While the front page appears to be static, if you click on the picture at the top of the page or the link buried at the bottom, it will take you to a landing page with full information on the circus, including how to buy tickets. You can purchase these tickets online on the site through tickets.com and pick them up at the will call in the box office. In the upper left corner of this landing page is a link that says "Free Kid's Tickets" (sic). Click on this link and it will take you to a page where you can print out the coupons for free Cole Brothers Circus tickets.

You may use these coupons in person at the box office or purchase the tickets online and then bring the coupons with you to the Will Call to obtain the discount. Purchasing tickets from other sites generally means that you can't use the coupons, and tickets are generally unavailable from the Cole Brother site on the day of the show, which means your best bet is to go to the Box Office an hour or so early.

The deal for the Cole Brothers Circus free tickets is as follows: purchase of one adult ticket at full price entitles you to one free child ticket per coupon. You may use up to two coupons, which means that for a family of four with two adults and two children, the children both get in free. This offer is for the lowest priced seats only, which cost $12 per person generally. (The circus is set up inside a round tent with the ring in the center and it is possible to see well from all seats.) If you prefer a higher priced level of seats closer to the ring, then instead of free Cole Brothers Circus tickets for kids you will get a discount on the seats.

This year, refreshments at the circus are being provided free by local merchants including Costco and Starbucks, which is a great value added enticement. Considering that taking a family of four to the movies will cost twice as much or more, the Cole Brothers Circus free tickets are an excellent value that will provide you with the opportunity to give your children an entertainment experience they will never forget.
