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. 

To ensure events are accessible to more people, every performance, except An Evening with Yo-Yo Ma, now includes a limited number of $25 tickets in Zone 4 that can be purchased when single tickets go on sale.

Yes, you can!

• Exchanges are FREE for subscribers, including any extra tickets added to a subscription package. Subscribers to the 2025–26 season can begin making exchanges on July 29, 2025.

• For non-subscribers, the exchange fee is $12 per ticket and $3 per UW student ticket.

All exchanges must be made before show time on the day of your ticketed performance.

If your new tickets cost more, you’ll be charged the difference. If they cost less, the difference is not refunded.

To exchange tickets, contact the ArtsUW Ticket Office at ticket@uw.edu or call 206-543-4880. Please have your ticket numbers handy — they’re located in the upper left corner of your ticket.

We’ve seen a rise in ticket resellers over the past year. To avoid overpaying or buying invalid tickets, always make sure you're on one of these official sites. Double-check the web address before you purchase — if it’s not meanycenter.org or tickets.artsevents.washington.edu, it’s not us.
