What happens if you can’t accommodate my seat change or package request?

We will give you a call if we have any questions regarding your request. Please note that once the renewal period is over, we will again try to accommodate any seating change requests from the unrenewed inventory prior to new subscriptions going on sale on May 8. If we are able to change your seats, we will send a new confirmation email with the new seat locations.

How were my seats picked for the Green Room performance of Which Way to the Stage?

Your seats were selected by CBUSArts Staff based on your package day, your price level, and your seat location in the Mainstage space (close to stage, on aisle, accessible, etc). We reviewed all notes and did our best to keep patrons together who have expressed pairings with other accounts or who have expressed specific seating preferences in the past. We are happy to exchange your seats or move you around with your performance once exchanges begin on June 1, 2023.

How do I buy the Add On shows this season?
