FAQS
If I can’t make it to the show, can I get a refund or exchange my tickets for another date?
Exchanges are allowed with a small fee per ticket.
How can I buy tickets?
Tickets can be purchased by phone at 602.252.8497. The official website for the Herberger Theater is www.herbergertheater.org. Etix is the official ticket agent for the Herberger Theater Center. We do not sell through third-party ticketing websites.
What happens if I purchase my ticket from an unauthorized seller (scalper)?
Be aware that the theater may refuse to honor a ticket known to have been acquired from an unauthorized source. Ticket brokers and agents – also known as scalpers, or touts – buy tickets to popular events in bulk, in advance, to resell later at a profit.Brokers have also been known to sell counterfeit and stolen tickets. While some brokers and agents are reputable and provide a service to the desperate, it is an expensive service and the buyer must beware. Known fraudulent scalping websites include “Secure Box Office” and “Tickets-Center.” Tickets should never be purchased through Facebook Messenger with another guest who claims to have tickets.
Do I have to buy tickets in advance, or can I buy them when I come to the theater?
There is no requirement that you purchase advance tickets. If there are still tickets available on the day of the performance, you may purchase them in person at the box office. Some shows sell very quickly and do not always have tickets available on the day of the show, so we suggest you call the box office to check availability prior to making the trip.
Can someone else pick my tickets up at the box office for me?
Anyone collecting pre-purchased tickets at the box office must show ID and match the name the tickets were purchased under.
I don't have a credit card. Where can I buy tickets for cash?
You can make cash payments at our theater box office.
What is the Herberger Theater's bag policy?
The Herberger Theater asks that your purse or bag be able to sit under your seat. We do not have a clear bag policy; however, the theater reserves the right to inspect any bag brought into the theater.
Are children allowed in the theater?
Babies in arms or children under the age of two (2) are not permitted in the theater. Children older than two (2) should be able to sit quietly in their own seats throughout a performance. If you are in doubt about bringing a child to any particular production, please ask before buying tickets.
Please be aware that if you do bring a young child and that child creates any disturbance, you may be asked to leave the theater or may be re-seated to lessen the disturbance. Some individual shows may set higher age limits; if so, this will be posted on our website.

Does my child need a ticket? Can he/she sit on my lap?
Both the Fire Code and theater insurance policies require everyone in a live theater audience, regardless of age, to have an assigned seat and a ticket. This is the case even if the child sits in your lap and not in his or her assigned seat.
How early should I arrive?
We suggest that you arrive at least 30 minutes before the performance begins. This will give you time to pick up your tickets if needed, visit concessions, the art gallery and the restroom before you find your seat. The lobby will open 60 minutes prior to the start of the show and 30 minutes prior to shows held in The Kax Stage. The theater doors open for seating 30 minutes prior to the show.
What happens if I am late?
All performances begin promptly as scheduled. Latecomers will be admitted only during a suitable break in the performance, and seating location will be at the discretion of the management. If you are late, it may not be possible to seat you until the intermission; if the production has no intermission, you may not be admitted at all. Latecomers may watch the show on the monitor in the lobby.
Can I leave the theater and come back?
If you leave your seat during the performance, we will re-seat you only at a suitable break in the performance, which might not be until the intermission. Seating location will be at the discretion of the management.
Can I bring my own food and drinks inside the venue?
Outside food and drinks are not permitted in the theater. A variety of snacks and drinks are available for purchase at the Spotlight Bar. Drinks with a lid may be taken into the theater. No food is permitted inside the theater.
Are there discounts for children, students or seniors?
Children, students and seniors may be eligible for a discount depending on the producing company of the show. It is always a good idea to inquire about this with our box office.
What about group rates? How many do I need for a group discount?
Group discounts are available for most of our events. The minimum size of a “group” may vary with different events – for most productions, the minimum order for a group discount is 12 persons. Please check our Group Sales page for full details.
