General Exchange Guidelines for Subscribers

Subscription tickets may be exchanged into another performance of the same play, subject to availability, until 6:00 p.m. on the day before your scheduled performance at no charge. Day-of-show exchanges will be accepted up to 2 hours prior to curtain for a $3 fee per ticket.

Ticket exchanges will be handled at the Sales Office window the hour before any curtain time at the management’s discretion.

Exchanges into a more expensive performance and/or seating area require payment of the upgrade amount at the time of the exchange. Refunds are not given for exchanges into less expensive performances.

Once the season has begun, no refunds can be made on the series as a whole or on individual subscription tickets.
