Season Ticket FAQ

 

What is a season ticket package?

A season ticket package —also known as a subscription—allows you to purchase the same number of tickets for every show in your selected series all at once. All of your performances will fall on a set day of the week and time; you may also have the same seat assignment for each show.
For example: If you are assigned seats in First Tier Left Center B 101-102 for the Tuesday Evening subscription of the PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh series, you will attend seven predetermined Broadway shows that are scheduled on Tuesday evening at 7:30PM and you will sit in these seat locations every time. We have many subscription series available: PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Dance Council, Trust Cabaret Series, Liberty Magic, Children’s Theater Series, and Bridge Theater Series.

Are there benefits to buying season tickets?

As a season ticket holder, not only is it possible to save money over individual ticket purchases, but you also benefit from perks and flexibility not available to individual ticket buyers. Many shows offer a special price on tickets and by choosing to be an early buyer, you are locking in the best prices we are able to offer for these shows.
Buying the shows in one convenient package also means that you don’t have to remember to order your tickets as each show goes on sale. Other perks include ticket exchange privileges, swap-a-show opportunity, the ability to purchase additional tickets to some shows in your series before the general public, payment plans, convenient prepaid guaranteed parking and dining discounts to complete your experience at the theater.

How does guaranteed prepaid parking work?

Subscribers are able to purchase parking with their season ticket order. With these prepaid parking passes you are guaranteed entry into Theater Square Garage, ensuring you a hassle-free start to your outing. Each parking pass is good for one vehicle to gain entry to the garage during event hours – weekday evenings after 4:00PM and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Please remember to safeguard your parking passes as we cannot replace them if lost, stolen, or destroyed. Learn more about parking here.

How much do season ticket packages cost?

Season ticket packages vary in cost each season. Pricing depends on which series day/time and seating area you choose. We have a variety of prices available to work with every budget.

Are there any additional fees for purchasing season tickets?

Our season ticket packages have a per-order handling fee added to them that varies per Series.

Ticket limits may vary by show. If you are bringing a large group, please contact Group Sales at 412-471-6930 or visit TrustArts.org/groupsales.

What can I do with tickets to shows I can't attend?

You may exchange your tickets to another performance of the same show until 72 hours prior to your ticketed performance. Some restrictions may apply. Please refer to your Season Ticket Holder Handbook for more details.
If you cannot attend any of the performances of that show, feel free to give the tickets to a friend to enjoy the show.
For select Series, you may also turn your ticket into a Tax Deductible Donation to the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Please make sure you call before your show to take advantage of this benefit. Benefit not available for PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh shows.

I cannot attend one of my performances due to a conflict. How do I exchange my tickets?

This is one of the best benefits of becoming subscriber! If you are unable to attend your scheduled performance, subscribers may exchange their tickets for another performance of the same production.
There are many ways subscribers can exchange their subscription tickets:

  1. Login to your Subscription account here
    From the sidebar of your account Profile, select Exchange/Donate Tickets. Season tickets eligible for exchange will be displayed. Follow the on-line instructions.
  2. Call the Season Ticket line at 412-456-1390 (Monday through Friday 10AM – 5PM). Please have your tickets in hand when calling.
  3. In-person at the Theater Square Box Office, 655 Penn Avenue, Downtown.

We recommend you make exchanges in advance. Due to the popularity of some shows, ticket exchanges may not be available, or may only be available for a limited window of time. Exchanges will be made from the best available seating. Comparable seating cannot be guaranteed.

Generally, tickets must be exchanged no later than 72 hours in advance of the date of your scheduled performance. Consult your Season Ticket Handbook for details.

When exchanging from a lower to a higher priced performance or seat location, the price difference will be collected at the time of the exchange. If you exchange into a lower priced performance or seat location, the difference in price will not be refunded.

Some shows offer VIP or Premium seating in non-subscriber performance weeks. These seats are higher-priced than those in the subscription week. If you exchange out of the subscription week, please note it will be your responsibility to pay the price increase per ticket at the time of exchange. Subscriber pricing is only available in the subscriber performance week.

Exchanged tickets may be mailed if processed 1 week prior to the new performance. Otherwise, exchanges will be held at the box office and can be picked up starting two hours prior to curtain.

Tickets purchased through Group Sales or through an unauthorized ticket source may not be exchanged. A missed performance cannot be exchanged or refunded.

How do I change my address, phone number or email address?

We want to make sure you receive important information on a timely basis. In order to ensure the security of your account and that tickets are delivered to the proper owner, all changes must be submitted in writing and can only be made by the account holder. There are a few easy ways to make changes to your phone, address, or e-mail:

  1. Login to your Subscription account here

I have been sharing my season account with friends; we would like to separate the seats into individual accounts so we can receive our own mailings and manage our own tickets. How would I do that?

If you are sharing your subscription with a friend, we recommend that you both purchase and manage your own packages individually and ask to be "seated with" each other. Splitting existing season accounts can be done if the current primary account holder makes this request in writing prior to the season ticket mailing. Please include each Subscriber’s mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number. Once separated, only the primary account holder can access their account and subscription information.

I can no longer attend the series, and would like to give my season tickets to a friend. Is that possible?

Yes, you can transfer your subscription to another person. Transfer requests must be submitted in writing prior to the renewal deadline. Please include the new owner’s name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number. This letter must be signed by the original season subscriber.

I am unable to attend this year, but would like to retain my subscription seats for the following year. What can I do?

Unfortunately, we are unable to hold your seats without payment in full. If accounts are not renewed by the deadline, seats will be released. If you allow your subscription to lapse and choose to return in a later season, you will be seated with the best available locations at that time.

Due to an emergency, I missed my scheduled performance. What are my options?

We understand that emergencies happen. Unfortunately, we are not able to honor unused tickets for a missed performance. Tickets must be exchanged 72 hours prior to your performance. No refunds can be given for missed performances.
