The 5 show pass is essentially 5 admissions to shows. They do not need to be 5 different shows. You could take a friend to a show and you’d have 3 passes left. THE PASS EXPIRES ON JUNE 5, 2024 AND IS ONLY GOOD FOR THEATRE EVENTS.
You must have tickets for the shows. The pass alone will not get you in. You can use the pass to select seats and pay for them beginning on the first day tickets for a show go on sale. If you want to take more friends than you have passes for, buy the tickets, use the pass to pay and the system will ask for a credit card to cover the shortfall.
The pass is a different version of a gift certificate. The system gives you an option of paying with a season pass.
