What are all the fees?
We partner with CAPA and they manage all of our ticketing needs and serve as our box office. The ticket fees they implement are explained as follow.
“Ticket fees support the costs of our ticketing system - from technology to personnel. Service fees on the CAPA platform remain local, supporting CAPA's mission-driven initiatives designed to make Columbus a national destination for performing arts. Please note that some fees may be avoided when purchasing in person at the CAPA Ticket Center in advance or at the venue on the night of your performance.”
The base ticket price is all this non-profit theater company receives. Thank you for supporting the arts!
