Friday, July 15, 10am: Season subscriptions go on sale.
Friday, August 12: Deadline to subscribe/ donate to be guaranteed advance seating priority over single-ticket-buyers. As of this date, we will begin seating orders already received.*
Friday, August 26: Single tickets go on sale to general public.

* While every effort will be made to fill all subscription orders in advance of public sales, only those subscription orders/donations received by August 12 will be guaranteed seating priority before public sales begin.

For all advance season ticket orders, a confirmation notice will be sent within two weeks of our receipt of your order. If you do not hear from us within two weeks of placing your order, contact the Stanford Ticket Office at 650.725.ARTS. Partner, Friend, and Subscriber advance-sale tickets will be mailed beginning Friday, August 26. For all other orders, tickets will be mailed within five days unless your order is received seven or fewer business days prior to the purchased performance, in which case your tickets will be held at the venue’s will-call window on the performance date.

Please indicate any special needs or seating requests when you order. If the seating section you requested is no longer available at the time your order is filled, we will seat you in the best available seats in the next lower-priced section. If any performance you request happens to be sold out, we will still fill your order for the remaining performances you requested. Please note that because of the nature of performances and venues, we cannot guarantee the same seats for every performance.
