Tips & Advice
- Get to Abravanel Hall on time, because late arrivals wait for a suitable break or intermission before they're seated.
- Only bring children who are five or older and can sit quietly, since babes in arms are not admitted.
- Choose your performance carefully before you buy, because there are no refunds and artists and programs can change.
- Call the ArtTix ticket office if the website blocks your seats, since online orders can't leave a single empty seat next to yours.
