The death of Nettles from cancer in 1985 challenged the group's views on ascension where they originally believed that they would ascend to heaven while alive aboard a UFO, they later came to believe that the body was merely a 'container' or 'vehicle' for the soul and that their consciousness would be transferred to new 'Next Level bodies' upon death. The central belief of the group was that followers could transform themselves into immortal extraterrestrial beings by rejecting their human nature, and they would ascend to heaven, referred to as the 'Next Level' or 'The Evolutionary Level Above Human'. Scholars have described the theology of Heaven's Gate as a mixture of Christian millenarianism, New Age, and ufology, and as such it has been characterized as a UFO religion.

In 1976, a core group of a few dozen members stopped recruiting and instituted a monastic lifestyle. Nettles and Applewhite first met in 1972 and went on a journey of spiritual discovery, identifying themselves as the two witnesses of Revelation, attracting a following of several hundred people in the mid-1970s. It was founded in 1974 and led by Bonnie Nettles (1927–1985) and Marshall Applewhite (1931–1997), known within the movement as Ti and Do, respectively. Heaven's Gate was an American new religious movement (often described as a cult) whose members committed mass suicide in 1997.

The box office will be open until 2pm every Friday, so if you miss out on the 9:30a ticket allotment, you still have a chance to purchase reduced-fee tickets for any available show (including shows going on sale that day!) at the Salt Shed while the box office is open. This will allow you the opportunity to grab reduced-fee tickets before the public onsale, and possibly get ahead of a sellout! There will be a (2) ticket limit per customer, and these will be first come, first served. On Friday mornings at 9:30am, we will open up (20) tickets to each show going on sale that morning. In addition to our regular box office on show nights, we will have our box office open every Friday from 9:30am to 2:00pm. We will be selling reduced-fee tickets at the box office.

We will be starting regular box office hours 5:00 - 8:00 the night of our indoor shows. We know the ticketing landscape is challenging, but we’re hopeful this will help make the purchasing process less painful and more manageable. Yes! We are excited to say we have box office hours every week, where you’ll have the ability to purchase reduced-fee tickets.
