What is a Subscription?
A Subscription is a ticket purchase of 3 or more shows for the 2025 Summer & Fall Season. Subscriptions are not available for fewer than 3 events. Individual event tickets are available for purchase beginning May 1.
What section can I sit in?
Subscriptions are available for the Premium section, as well as Sections A - D. Box seats are only available to box holders at this time. See our seating layout here.
Can I purchase additional tickets outside of my subscription?
While the Center prefers Subscriptions contain all tickets required for an event, additional tickets may be purchased on a case-by-case-basis by calling the Box Office.
When will I receive my tickets?
Subscribers can choose to have their tickets emailed to them at the time of purchase or have printed tickets waiting at Will Call. The Box Office can print your complete ticket purchase for you upon request. All tickets will be reserved in the subscriber's name only.
Additional information
- If you have requested extra tickets to events in addition to your base subscription, you will be notified if they cannot be fulfilled.
- All seat selections for your subscription and extra tickets must be in the same section. If you wish to sit next to someone, please subscribe in one order.
- Fulfilled subscription orders are non-refundable. Tickets may be donated back to GLCFA as a tax-deductible gift.
- Can't make one of your shows? Exchanges are free for subscribers up to 72 hours before a performance, based on availability. (Fees apply to exchanges that include an upgrade in seating section).
