How does the Blue Canvas Club work?
- By supporting Big Top Chautauqua with an annual gift of $125 or more, you will automatically become a member of our Blue Canvas Club. Membership lasts 12 months. Gifts can be made online here, over the phone (715.373.5552), or in person at our Box Office, located at 84810 State Highway 13, Bayfield, WI.
- If you would like to make an online gift at bigtop.org/support, please be sure to provide a valid email address and allow up to 2 business days for processing (you can avoid the processing time by calling to make your gift over the phone). Once your gift is processed, you will automatically be added to our Blue Canvas Club email distribution list.
- To gain access to ticket pre-sales online you must login with the same email as your Big Top Chautauqua patron account (the one associated with your gift). Otherwise, our system will not recognize you and will not allow you to purchase tickets.
What are the benefits of membership?
- As a Blue Canvas Club member, you receive exclusive access to ticket pre-sales, usually a week before the general public.
- Members are added to an exclusive e-mail list and receive additional notices regarding special Big Top offers.
- Blue Canvas Club members also receive a 10% discount on original Big Top merchandise at the Big Top venue at the end of Ski Hill Rd, or in our Gift Shop located at 84810 State Highway 13, Bayfield, WI. Not available for online purchases at this time.

Pre-Sale Instructions for Blue Canvas Club Members
- First, to make sure our emails reach you, add tickets@bigtop.org as a contact in your email contacts list. Emails from us are less likely to go to your junk/spam mailbox if you do.
- Do not unsubscribe from our emails, or you will also unsubscribe from the presale notifications. You have earned the benefit— make sure you can use it!
- To purchase tickets during the presale, just log in to your account using the same email as your Big Top Chautauqua patron account, and the system will recognize you as a Blue Canvas Club member allowing you to make your ticket purchase as normal.
- Log in to your account before the start of the presale to make sure you have no difficulty and your account information is up to date. Our Box Office is happy to assist with recovering your account or resetting your password, but please be aware our phone lines get busy once tickets go on sale.
- If you are having trouble logging in to your account, do not create a new account or the system will not recognize your membership status. Instead, click the orange “Reset Password” button. We will send you an email link with instructions. The link will go to the email associated with your Big Top patron account.
- If you have ever donated or purchased a ticket (other than at the gate), you already have a patron account, even if you have never logged in to it before. Do not create another account (see above). If you have never logged in to your Big Top patron account before, click the orange "Forgot Password" button to set it.
For further assistance please contact our Box Office, 715.373.5552.
