OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Late Seating Policy
Please allow yourself enough time to park, claim your tickets, and get seated before the announced start-time for performances. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the House Manager and Duke Performances staff.
Lost Tickets
If you lose your tickets and need replacements, please call the University Box Office, 919-684-4444.
Performance Cancellation
Because the performing arts are live, programs are subject to change without notice for reasons outside the control of Duke Performances. If a performance is cancelled, you will be notified as early as possible and offered either an exchange or a refund.
Refunds
Tickets are nonrefundable except in the case of canceled events.
If You Are Unable To Attend
If you are unable to attend a program for which you hold tickets, you may donate those tickets in person to the University Box Office for a tax credit (no refunds). In order to qualify for the tax credit, the Box Office must receive refund requests at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled performance.
We encourage all ticket holders to return tickets they are unable to use, so that seats can be made available to students, charitable groups, or other patrons who might otherwise not be able to attend.

Individuals with disabilities who anticipate needing additional accomodation, or who have questions about physical access, should contact the Duke University Box Office at 919-684-4444 prior to ordering tickets.
