Sharky's Box Office
Sharky's Box Office provides tickets to all films and events in Lumina Theater. We also distribute tickets for events hosted by UNCW Presents, such as the Leadership Lecture Series. The Student Government Association distributes Safe Rides (discounted taxi vouchers) at Sharky's Box Office.
Student organizations, campus departments and community organizations may take advantage of our convenient ticket services for a low fee. Please see our ticketing prices at the bottom of this page.
If a fee is charged for a ticket, it can be purchased in person at Sharky's Box Office or online at Etix. Etix will charge a convenience fee of $1 plus 7% of the ticket price for online sales. There are no convenience charges for tickets purchased in person at Sharky's Box Office.
If a movie is free for everyone, tickets will usually be distributed one hour before the show. Please check the film listing on the Lumina Theater website for details.
Sharky's Box Office accepts cash, MasterCard and Visa. We do not take checks or UNCW OneCard for ticket purchases. Due to University regulations, Sharky's Box Office does not accept credit cards over the phone for ticket purchases. We do not currently offer Will Call service.
