· Single Ticket Buyers: A $20 per ticket exchange fee will apply to each exchanged ticket. Single tickets can only be exchanged up to 48 hours before curtain time.

An Exchange Pass can be redeemed for a future performance within the same production, and may only be redeemed WITHIN 48 HOURS of the performance you wish to attend by calling Audience Services at 310.208.2028 (Tues–Sun, 12:00pm–6:00pm) or by visiting the Box Office window.

The Exchange Pass offers flexibility for rescheduling, especially if you’re unsure which day you’ll want to attend in the future. Even if a performance is listed as “Sold Out” in advance, returned tickets regularly become available within 48 hours of a performance.

The value of unused Exchange Passes will be converted to tax-deductible ticket donations at the end of the production's runs. No refunds will be offered for unused Exchange Passes.
