Your gift certificate will have a unique serial number on it that may be entered when purchasing tickets online or redeemed at the Box Office.

Can I return or exchange my ticket?

Exchange privileges are limited to Peoples Bank Theatre Members. For all other patrons, all sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges unless otherwise noted. In the event that a performance is canceled or postponed, the Peoples Bank Theatre Box Office will notify you as to the options that are available.

Members may exchange tickets to another Peoples Bank Theatre show (dependent on seating availability), or for a Peoples Bank Theatre gift certificate. Exchanges are not permitted the day of show. Limited to one upgrade per member, per show.


When will my tickets arrive? Can I print my tickets at home?

When purchasing tickets in person at the Box Office, you will be given the physical ticket.

If you purchase by phone or online, your tickets will be held at Will Call for pick up at the Box office the day of the show or during regular Box Office hours. We have suspended print-at-home tickets in an effort to combat fraudulent online sellers.

The Will Call window is located at the Putnam Street Box Office inside The Stage Door. The Box Office generally opens two hours prior to the performance unless otherwise stated. In order to pick up tickets, you will need to present a valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport). Box Office staff may also request your order confirmation number or to see the credit card used to purchase the tickets as an alternative or secondary form of verification. The Box Office staff will not release tickets if the name on the ID or credit card does not match the name given at the time of purchase. Because lines at the Box Office and will call window can be long on the day of show, it is a good idea to arrive at the Box Office at least 45 minutes prior to the performance.


What should I do if I haven't received an email confirmation

Check your Junk Mail or Spam folder for your email confirmation if it hasn’t arrived in your inbox within an hour of placing your ticket order. You may need to add tickets@nullpeoplesbanktheatre.com to your contacts or address book to avoid having your email confirmation filtered as junk mail or spam.  If you cannot find your email confirmation, please call the Box Office at 740-371-5152 so a staffer can verify your email address and re-send your confirmation.

I want to bring a large group. Do you offer group discounts or special seating for groups?

If you are bringing a group of 20 or more to an event and are interested in discounts or special seating, please call 740-373-0894, or email tickets@nullpeoplesbanktheatre.com. Group discounts and seating may vary by show. Limits may apply.

Are your shows appropriate for children? Does my child need a ticket? Do you offer children's prices?

Peoples Bank Theatre strives to offer a mix of programming, including family-friendly entertainment. Please see individual show listings for details and specific child admission information. For movies, Peoples Bank Theatre lists the MPAA ratings, if applicable.

For most performances, all children are required to have a ticket and separate seat, with the exception of children two years old and younger who will be sitting on an adult’s lap. Any child attending an evening performance should be able to sit quietly through the show. As a courtesy to other audience members, please use discretion in bringing a young child to a performance not designated for children.

In some cases, performances without a Youth/Child price level may be inappropriate for young children. When children’s prices are offered, youth/Child tickets are for patrons age 12 and younger.


Are there any ticket fees?

The price of tickets to all Peoples Bank Theatre events includes a $2 donation to Hippodrome/Colony Historical Theatre Association’s Preservation Fund, which supports the long-term maintenance, restoration, and improvements of Marietta’s Peoples Bank Theatre. Outside promoters and renters may have ticket fees in addition to the advertised price. Ticket fees cover historic preservation and the costs of operating a box office, including staffing, software licensing, etc.

I lost my tickets. Can I get replacement tickets?

Lost tickets may be reprinted at the Box Office. If you have lost your tickets, please present a photo ID and the credit card used to purchase the tickets to the box office. Lost tickets purchased through a ticket broker or unauthorized third party cannot be reprinted.

What do I do if a performance is cancelled? What is the policy with regard to inclement weather?

In the event that a performance is canceled or postponed, the Peoples Bank Theatre Box Office staff will notify you as to the options that are available. All events are subject to performer, date, or time changes. Should a change in the scheduled program occur, Peoples Bank Theatre will make a timely announcement and contact ticket holders as efficiently as possible.

In the case of severe weather conditions, Peoples Bank Theatre events will go on as scheduled if the artist is in Marietta and ready to perform. Only if the artist is unable to perform as scheduled will the show be postponed or cancelled. The Peoples Bank Theatre website will be updated if there are any changes to the event in question. In addition, all ticket holders will receive an email from Peoples Bank Theatre of any changes. We will do our best to communicate a cancellation or postponement on the theatre’s phone system, but the website will be the best and first place to look for updates to the status of any show.

Seating

I got my tickets, and my seats aren't together. Why not?

It’s more than likely that your seats actually are together. Peoples Bank Theatre seating is numbered, as theatre seating often is, with the odd-numbered seats on the left side of the house, and the even-numbered seats on the right. Here is a breakdown of the theatre seat numbers:

All sections are numbered with the lowest number nearest the center.

ON THE AUDITORIUM LEVEL:

The center sections are three digit numbers beginning at 101. They number house right to house left from 101 up to 113.

The left and right sections begin again with one and two digit numbers beginning at 1 or 2, with the odd-numbered seats on the left side of the house, and the even-numbered seats on the right. They number outward from the center of the house (1 through 9 or 2 through 8).

IN THE MEZZANINE AND BALCONY:

The mezzanine and balcony seats are numbered in a similar manner as the auditorium sections.


I hear this is an old theatre. What is the legroom like in your seats?
