Standby Tickets

For sold-out events (except Irvine Barclay Theatre), guests may request standby seating at the box office 1 hour before curtain.

Standby tickets offer the possibility of being seated in unused seats, but come with the following possibilities:

  1. No seats become available – you’ll receive a full refund.
  2. You may watch part of Act 1, but must give up your seat if the ticket holder arrives – full refund issued.
  3. You watch Act 1, but are asked to vacate for Act 2 – full refund issued.
  4. You are seated for the entire show – no refund issued.

Important Notes:

  • Specific seating is not guaranteed.
  • Groups may not be seated together.
  • You may be asked to switch seats or move mid-performance.

If the box office is closed at the time of refund eligibility, your refund will be processed the next business day. Please hand your ticket to an usher or house manager before leaving.
