Ticket Policies

With Meany Center’s Plan Ahead Pricing, single ticket prices may increase based on market demand. We recommend ordering early for the best selection of seating at the best prices. 

Meany Center has introduced two additional pricing zones to provide patrons with more choice. To ensure events are accessible to more people, every performance now includes a limited number of $25 tickets in Zone 4 that may be purchased when single tickets go on sale.

Yes! Exchanges must be made prior to curtain on the day of your performance. 

Exchange are FREE to subscribers. Subscribers to the 2025-26 Season may make exchanges beginning July 29, 2025. 

The processing fee to exchange tickets is $6 per Regular ticket and $3 per UW Student ticket. Exchanges are FREE to subscribers, on subscriptions and extra tickets. 

UW Department of Dance, School of Drama and School of Music events have a $3 per ticket processing fee. There is no fee to exchange subscription tickets. Visit the ArtsUW Ticket Policies page for more information about academic performances. 

If the new tickets are more expensive than the exchanged tickets, you will be charged the difference. If new tickets are less expensive than the exchanged tickets, the difference in price is not refunded. 

To exchange your tickets, you may contact the ArtsUW Ticket Office at [email protected] or by calling 206-543-4880 with your ticket numbers. Ticket numbers are located in the upper left hand corner of your tickets.

After purchasing online, you will receive two emails: an Order Confirmation email and a separate PDF ticket email with a PDF attachment. Check your spam, junk or promotions tab in case the email lands there.

PDF tickets come from [email protected] with the subject line “PDF Tickets for your ArtsUW Show.” PDF tickets can be shown to the ushers on your mobile device, or can be printed. If printing, make sure to print all pages of the attachment.

Subscription tickets for the 2025-26 Season will be sent out in early August.
