Ticket Value Donations

If you are no longer able to attend an event, consider donating the value of your ticket. Your support helps sustain our ability to bring our community together through the arts.

Please contact the box office at artscenter@vt.edu or by phone at 540-231-5300 to make this request, or simply turn in your extra ticket at the box office.

Ticket Credit

Tickets for most events are eligible for a credit towards the purchase of another Center for the Arts event within the current season. If you are no longer able to attend an event, please contact the box office at artscenter@vt.edu or by phone at 540-231-5300 at least one hour in advance of the scheduled performance to request a credit for the value of your tickets. Ticket credits expire at the end of the current season.

While all sales are final, tickets to most events may be exchanged for another Center for the Arts performance within the current season. Please contact the box office at artscenter@vt.edu or by phone at 540-231-5300 at least one hour in advance of the scheduled performance to request an exchange.
