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 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.

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:

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.
