Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets only from Artis—Naples itself, because tickets bought from resellers or other third-party sites may be more expensive and may not be valid.
- If you pay with a card billed outside Florida, bring ID to will call, and expect a limit of four tickets per performance.
- Get a ticket for every child, including infants, because everyone attending needs one regardless of age.
- If you're coming with ten or more people, order early as a group to get preferential seating while it's still available.
- If you might need to change dates, make the exchange at least 48 hours before your performance, because exchanges aren't accepted after that.
