Tips & Advice

  • If you hold a 2026/27 subscription, log in before adding tickets, because subscriber-priced tickets carry no service charges or exchange fees.
  • Make sure your phone has a data connection at Roy Thomson Hall, because mobile ticket barcodes change and can't be printed or screenshotted.
  • Open the TSO Digital Wallet or My TSO App on concert day, since your barcode only appears eight hours before the performance.
  • If your plans might change, make any exchange at least 48 hours before the concert, because single ticket sales are final with no refunds.
  • If you're between 15 and 35, look into TSOUNDCHECK, the TSO's discount ticket program for that age group.

Special Events & Promotions

  • TSOUNDCHECK discount tickets are available for ages 15 to 35.
  • The concert is part of the Pops Matinee, Pops Wednesday and Pops Thursday subscription packages.
