Ticket sales are final. No exchanges or refunds will be made unless the performance is cancelled.

Patrons who are unable to attend performances after the purchase of tickets can call the Box Office to donate tickets back to Summer Arts in exchange for a letter indicating the donation, which can be applied to tax deductions. Tickets can be donated back to Summer Arts prior to curtain of the specific event, only. Contact the Box Office for details.

General Admission Tickets

Ticket prices for each event are listed with the guest artist descriptions. The lower price is for children, students, senior citizens, and university staff and faculty with ID. All children are required to have a ticket even if they will sit in an adult’s lap. The higher price is regular admission.

Summer Arts public events often sell out, as they are popular one-time events. Patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance in order to ensure admission. Seating for all events is general admission, not assigned seating (except in the case of Reserved Seating patrons – please see below). Free events are not ticketed – admission is on a first-come, first-seated basis.

To purchase tickets, please use the Ticket Order Form, go online, or call or visit our Box Office.

For a small fee, Reserved Seating ticket holders will be able to select the location of their seats for specific performances from a block of designated Reserved Seats. Reserved Seating patrons will also have their seats held for them until their arrival to the performance. Reserved Seating tickets do not have a discounted price for children, students, senior citizens, or university staff and faculty.

Reserved Seat selection is based on venue location and the availability of pre-selected seats in each venue. Only events in the John Wright Theatre and Concert Hall have reserved seating. The remaining seats in the venue are General Admission, and will be available to the public on a first-come, first-seated basis.

There are a limited number of Reserved Seats available. Reserved Seating will not be available if performances have sold out prior to Reserved Seating ticket purchase.

Please contact the Box Office or see the individual event descriptions to determine which events offer Reserved Seating.
