Before Ordering Tickets, You Should Know

Complimentary parking is provided in the Eisenhower Parking Deck for patrons attending performances presented by the Center for the Performing Arts. Complimentary shuttle service from the Eisenhower Parking Deck is provided for Center for the Performing Arts presentations in Schwab Auditorium.

To sit with friends or relatives, you must purchase at the same time.

The price of each ticket may include a county/regional impact fee and/or other applicable fees.

Seating for latecomers is not reserved.

Everyone, including children of all ages, must have a ticket for admission.

Audio and visual recording devices are not permitted in the auditoriums.

All artists, programs, dates, and times are subject to change.

Exchange Tickets

Choice series buyers may exchange Choice-event tickets for another Center for Performing Arts 2011–2012 presentation without paying a service fee. Individual-event ticket buyers may exchange for another 2011–2012 presentation for a $4-per-ticket fee. If you can't attend one of the performances for which you purchased tickets, you may return those tickets prior to the presentation and apply the face value toward the purchase of another event.

For Choice buyers only, if you're not sure at the time you return tickets which other performance you want to attend, we'll hold a credit in your account until you decide. If you haven't used your credit by the end of the 2011–2012 season, we'll provide you with a receipt for a tax-deductible contribution in the amount of your credit.

Tickets must be returned to the Arts Ticket Center at Eisenhower Auditorium or Penn State Tickets Downtown no later than noon on the day of a weeknight performance or by noon on the Friday before a weekend performance.

Special Needs

We're committed to making the arts accessible to all patrons. Wheelchair seating is available in Eisenhower and Schwab auditoriums. A number of appropriately located seats have been reserved for our patrons with disabilities, and, upon advance request, sign language interpretation is available for our performances and educational activities. For our hearing-impaired patrons, Eisenhower is equipped with an infrared listening system, and Schwab has an induction-loop system. Our publications, including OnStage performance programs, are available in large-print or alternative media upon request. Live audio description, which can enhance appreciation of what's taking place on stage, is provided for selected performances. Audio description, when provided, is available to all ticket holders.

Contact the Arts Ticket Center, at 814-863-0255 or 1-800-ARTS-TIX, for your special needs.

Assisted Listening Large Print Audio Description Signing Handicapped Accessible

Penn State encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the physical access provided, please contact the Arts Ticket Center in advance of your participation or visit.

Audio Description

Audio description — available at no extra charge to ticket holders — offers live verbal description of the visual elements of selected performances. Especially helpful to patrons with sight-loss, audio description can also improve information processing for people with learning disabilities. The service's trained audio describers use a transmitter and microphone to relay a pictorial description to patrons wearing earpieces attached to palm-sized receivers. Audio description clarifies details and provides background information, but it doesn't interfere with other key audible elements of a performance.
