Where Should I Sit?

SEASON SUBSCRIPTIONS are the best way to save on tickets. Be on the lookout for next season’s announcement and timeline to purchase these subscriptions!

What’s with all the fees?

We partner with CBUSArts and they manage all of our ticketing needs and serve as our box office. The ticket fees they tack on is explained as follow. Please note we do not get these fees. The base ticket price is all this non-profit theater company receives.

“Ticket fees support the costs of our ticketing system - from technology to personnel. Service fees on the CBUSArts platform remain local, supporting CAPA's mission-driven initiatives designed to make Columbus a national destination for performing arts. Please note that some fees may be avoided when purchasing in person at the CBUSArts Ticket Center in advance or at the venue on the night of your performance.”
