Orders are processed only after a billing address has been verified. Occasionally, Ticketmaster receives incorrect credit card account information for a ticket order that can delay processing and delivery.

If Ticketmaster is unable to reach you after its initial attempt, Ticketmaster can and may sell your tickets to another customer. Tickets can be mailed to you via standard mail (allow 14 days for delivery) or UPS (allow 2 business days for delivery).

Are my seats together if they are numbered 1 and 3?
Yes. Seats in the orchestra on the left side of the Fox Theatre are odd-numbered and seats on the right side are even-numbered. Seats in the center are consecutively numbered 101-114. Back to Questions

Do you have discounts for children and students?
Student and child discounts are offered for selected subscription packages. Discounted tickets to individual performances are available for all performances. Back to Questions

If I order online through Ticketmaster, will a confirmation be emailed to me?
Yes, you should receive a confirmation via email almost immediately. It is also a good idea to print the confirmation page displayed once your order is complete. For an extra fee you may also choose to print your tickets at home. Back to Questions

At what age is it appropriate for children to attend Nutcracker?
Most children four and over can enjoy a two-hour performance of Atlanta Ballet's Nutcracker while remaining happily and quietly seated. However, you know your child's nature the best. Please note: all children, regardless of age, must have a ticket. Back to Questions

Are both the Fox Theatre and Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The Fox Theatre and Cobb Energy Centre have accessible seating on the Orchestra level. Call (404) 881-2118 for more information about the Fox Theatre. Back to Questions

Will I get the best seats if I purchase online? Can I select specific seats?
All seats are available via the Internet, except for a small number of limited view and wheelchair accessible seats that are sold only through the ticket office. Ticketmaster is designed to sell tickets beginning with the most desirable location within the seating section you select.

Specific seats may be selected via phone orders or Ticketmaster retail locations only. Specific seats cannot be selected via online purchases. All seating is subject to availability. Back to Questions

Is my credit card information secure?
Yes, your credit card information is transmitted securely when purchasing through Ticketmaster. You should see a padlock icon at the bottom right of your browser window when entering your credit card information; this icon indicates that the site is SSL secured. Back to Questions

What is the best way to get my tickets?
If time allows, it is best to have tickets mailed to you in order to review them when they arrive. Check the day, date and time of performance and the number of tickets to make sure your order is correct. Will Call is a good option when the performance is more pending. Please allow plenty of time for traffic, parking and a line to pick up will call tickets, as you may not be seated right away if the curtain has gone up. Back to Questions

When and where do I pick up Will Call tickets?
Subscriber Will Call tickets are held at the Atlanta Ballet Subscriber Box Office located in the arcade of the Fox Theatre.

Single Tickets ordered through Ticketmaster are held at the Fox Theatre Will Call Window (located in the kiosk directly in front of the arcade of the Fox Theatre). In order to pick up your tickets, please present:
• Your valid photo ID, driver's license or passport
• The credit card you used to purchase the tickets

The box office will not release tickets if the name on the ID or credit card does not match the name who purchased the tickets from Ticketmaster or if the photo on the ID does not appear to be the photo of the person retrieving the tickets.

Please allow at least 24 hours from the time of your order for your tickets to be ready for pick up at the Fox Theatre Box Office. Most people pick up Will Call tickets when they arrive for the performance. It is a good idea to arrive at the Box Office at least 45 minutes prior to the performance because the lines can be long. Please plan to arrive early, as Atlanta traffic and parking are unpredictable. Back to Questions

How early should I arrive if I have my tickets in hand?
Please arrive at the Fox Theatre at least a half-hour before the performance. Arriving early will give you time to get to your seat and review your program and casting insert. Traffic and parking can be unpredictable, so plan to arrive early to assure an enjoyable experience. Back to Questions

If I am late where do I get my tickets?
Your tickets will be waiting for you with the ushers at the door. All sales are final; therefore your tickets cannot be sold to someone else. Performances begin on time so please be prompt. Seating during the performance is not allowed during the Season. For Nutcracker, late seating is at the discretion of the House Manager and is sometimes allowed during certain times of the performance. Back to Questions

What's the difference between a full-length ballet program and a mixed-rep program?
On the calendar you will see some programs listed with 1-2 ballets and some full-length ballets. For example, Swan Lake is a full-length ballet that follows a story line. The Firebird is a mixed repertory program, as it includes one additional different ballet on the program. A mixed repertory program can be an excellent introduction to attending Atlanta Ballet because of the variety of dance you will see. Back to Questions

Why does Ticketmaster enforce a time limit when making purchases online?
When you are shopping for tickets, you are "holding" real inventory. No one else will be able to purchase unless you release them. Due to high demand, a policy has been implemented to limit the time during the checkout process. Each checkout page is assigned a different time limit based on the type of information needed. If the time exceeds the posted time on that page, the tickets you are holding are released for others to purchase. You have about 5 minutes in total to complete your purchase. This gives as many people as possible the chance to purchase tickets.

To prevent your tickets from being released, please use only one browser window at a time (on the same computer) to hold tickets. Back to Questions

If you still have questions or need assistance purchasing your tickets, please call us at (404) 892-3303.
