DISCLAIMER
It has come to our attention that there are multiple ticket brokers (online ads) that are reselling our tickets. Please be advised: most of these sites do mention they are a re-seller, some do not. Often, patrons are not aware they are paying more until it's too late.
To protect our customers, we reserve the right to require a valid ID and the credit card used in order to pick up tickets.
Please pay attention to where you are buying them from. The only authorized online ticket dealer for our shows will start with https://tickets.sdc-arts.org which is directly accessible from the Arts Center website (www.sdc-arts.org). Purchasing directly from us is the only way to guarantee the lowest price and be sure that your ticket is authentic. All ticket sales are final - no refunds or exchanges.
