NO REFUNDS

  • Ticket and fee refunds are not allowed under any circumstances. The only exception is an event that is cancelled and not rescheduled by Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts or the artist(s).
  • To help ensure the safety of our audiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that if you are sick and unable to attend a performance, you contact the box office for your options. You may exchange tickets, due to illness, up to 24 hours before an event. All ticket exchange fees and processes, outlined below, apply.
 

 

WILL CALL

  • By request, tickets may be held for pickup at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts during regular box office hours only by the ticket buyer with a valid photo ID that matches the name on the ticket order. Or by an authorized recipient with written permission from the ticket buyer.
  • A $2.00 per ticket fee will be applied to all Will-Call ticket requests.
  • Arrive early to avoid delays. The box office is open 1 hour before each performance.
 

 

MAILED TICKETS

  • Tickets with ‘Mail Now’ delivery will not be mailed until one (1) month before the performance date. Tickets with Mail Later will not be delivered until two (2) weeks before the performance. If you have made your order within the month window, your tickets will be mailed out within the next two (2) business days. We are experiencing higher than usual mail delivery delays due to USPS. Please anticipate five (5) business days for your tickets to arrive. If you select mail delivery within five (5) days of your performance date the ticket(s) will automatically be added to Will Call.
 

 

CHANGES

  • All prices, ticket fees, events, artists, programs, dates, show and run times, venues and benefits are subject to change. Every effort is made to inform ticket buyers of any changes via the website, email and/or by phone. Please check ScottsdalePerformingArts.org for current event information.
  • It is the ticket buyer’s responsibility to inform Member and Patron Services Box Office in writing of changes to contact information, including mailing address, phone number and email address. No refunds, exchanges or credits are allowed for events missed because of outdated contact information.
 

 

TICKET SCANNERS

  • Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts electronically scans tickets for entry into its venues. This process helps prevent ticketing and seating problems that may cause delays or lines.
  • The scanning system reads unique barcodes printed on each ticket to ensure that the ticket is valid and to record attendance. When exchanging or reprinting a ticket, the barcode is deactivated, making the original ticket invalid for admission.
