EXCHANGE TICKETS

Choice buyers may exchange Choice-event tickets for another Center for the Performing Arts 2008–2009 presentation without paying a service fee. Individual-event ticket buyers may exchange for another 2008–2009 presentation for a $4-per-ticket fee. Tickets must be returned to the Arts Ticket Center at Eisenhower Auditorium or Penn State Tickets Downtown no later than 5 p.m. on the day of a weeknight performance or by 5 p.m. on the Friday before a weekend performance. 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. If you're not sure at that time which 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 2008–2009 season, we'll provide you with a receipt for a tax-deductible contribution in the amount of your credit. You also have the option of returning tickets and immediately receiving a receipt for a tax-deductible contribution.

SPECIAL NEEDS

We're committed to making the arts accessible to all patrons. Wheelchair seating is available in Eisenhower Auditorium at a discounted price. Wheelchair seating in Schwab Auditorium, located at the front of the house, is available at the regular price. A number of appropriately located seats have been reserved for our patrons with disabilities, and, upon advance request, signing 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.

Contact the Arts Ticket Center for all your special needs.

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 at 814-863-0255 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 through program notes, but it doesn’t interfere with other key audible elements of a performance.
