Getting to the Nutcracker Tea

You will pull a ticket from the entrance gate. When you check in at the Omni Charlotte, we will collect your $5 and issue you an exit pass for the garage (if you have not already done so at the Belk Theater). You will need both the entrance and exit ticket when you leave the garage.
