Ticket Policies

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

Subscribers to the 2025-26 Season may make exchanges beginning July 29, 2025. 

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

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

Free youth tickets may be exchanged between the Piano and Chamber Music Series when an accompanying adult ticket is also exchanged.

Exchange fees: The charge to exchange tickets is $6 per ticket. Exchanges are FREE to subscribers.

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 ticket@artsevents.washington.edu 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.

Remember, meanycenter.org is the authorized ticket seller for Meany Center events. Over the past year we've seen an increase in activity by ticket resellers. Always make sure to purchase directly from meanycenter.org or tickets.artsevents.washington.edu and to look carefully at the URL of any ticket purchasing site. 

For more information, read our Ticket Reseller Alert.

Lost your printed or PDF tickets? Contact the Ticket Office in advance of your performance at ticket@uw.edu or 206-543-4880 to have your tickets reprinted. Alternatively, you can log into your ticket account at tickets.artsevents.washington.edu/account and a copy of your tickets will be available to scan at the front door. Tickets appear 48 hours in advance of your event.

Tickets can also be reprinted at the Box Office within one hour of the performance.
