Q: I
cannot attend one of my performances due to a conflict. How do I exchange my
tickets?
A: As a season ticketholder you may exchange your tickets for another
performance of the same production if you are unable to attend your scheduled performance. Please remember that we make every effort to place you
into comparable seating for exchanges, but this cannot be guaranteed. Since we must
have your original tickets in hand, we cannot accept exchanges over the phone.
Tickets must be exchanged no later than 2 business days prior to the performance
for which the original tickets are valid, or the performance that you are
requesting, which ever comes first. Your first Season Ticket exchange is free. After that,
there is a $5 per ticket exchange fee. For Additional Ticket purchases, there is a $10 fee for all exchanges
There are three ways that you can exchange your tickets during the season:
1) For best seating availability, visit the Portland Opera Box
Office after the announced Season Ticket Holder On-Sale Date.
2) Mail your tickets, along with your first
and second choice of performance to Fred Meyer
Broadway Across America - Portland,
211 SE Caruthers St.,
Portland, OR 97214.
3) Stop by the
Portland Opera Box Office, located at 211 SE Caruthers St., during regular box office hours Mon.
- Fri. 9am-5pm.
If you have a Sunday performance, your exchange must be done by the close of
business Friday. For further instructions please check your subscriber handbook
mailed with your season tickets or call 503.241.1802. When exchanging from a
lower to a higher priced performance, the price difference will be collected
when processing the exchange.
Q: Can I purchase additional tickets or do exchanges when I come to Keller
Auditorium for a performance?
A: The Keller Auditorium Box Office is not able to handle exchange requests at
any time (see above for exchange information). Additional tickets to future shows
may be purchased up to 1 hour before the performance time. In order to
effectively get the audience into the theatre for a show, the box office can not
process any exchanges or advance sales one hour prior to a performance.
Q: I've lost my ticket to one of my scheduled performances. What can I do?
A: Please call Fred Meyer Broadway Across America - Portland at 503.241.1802 as soon as you realize that
you have misplaced your ticket(s). We will confirm your seating and issue a
"Location Pass," which you may pick up at the Will Call window
beginning one hour before
your performance. For security purposes, Location Passes will not be mailed.
Q: I've moved recently, how do I change my address?
A: Address changes can only be made by the account holder, in writing. If you
are relocating, please send a letter including your Subscriber account number,
your old and new address and telephone change (if applicable) and mail it to
Fred Meyer Broadway Across America - Portland,
211 SE Caruthers St,
Portland, OR, 97214. We are not responsible for items not forwarded by the post
office.
Q: Due to an emergency, I missed my scheduled performance. What are my options?
A: We do understand that occasionally a serious illness, inclement weather, or
some other problem may have kept you from attending your scheduled performance.
However, tickets are sold for specific dates, performance times and seat
locations. If an extenuating circumstance arises and you are unable to make the
necessary exchange arrangements prior to the show, please contact Fred Meyer Broadway Across America -
Portland within 24 hours of your missed
performance. As a courtesy, we will attempt to relocate you into another
performance pending approval of the Broadway touring company, for select performances, based on
availability. Comparable seating to the original tickets is not guaranteed.
Please keep in mind that you can only be relocated into another performance as
long as the show is in town. Relocation is not guaranteed. No refunds will be
offered for missed performances.
Q: I would like to change my seating. What do I need to do?
A: Changes to your account can be requested by mail, fax or online renewal. If
you are mailing or faxing your renewal, please fill out your invoice to
request your specific changes.
In
order to be considered for an upgrade, you must renew your season account by the
renewal deadline. Upgrades become available when other season ticket holders
choose not to renew or change the day they attend. In fairness to everyone, all
requests are filled by date received. We try to honor each request, however it is
difficult to predict the availability of locations until after the renewal
deadline. The more flexible you are the better the chance that we can fulfill
your request. Once an upgrade request is fulfilled it is impossible to get back
your old locations, as they are used to upgrade someone else.
Q: I can no longer attend the series, and would like to give my account to a
friend. Is that possible?
A: The most important benefit of being a season ticket holder is your same seat
privilege. In fairness to other renewing season ticket holders we do not accept
account transfers. We are glad to set up a new account for your friend(s) in the
best available seating for that performance. Please keep in mind that cancelled
accounts are used in the upgrade process.
Q: I am unable to attend this year, but would like to retain my seats for the
following year. What can I do?
A: Unfortunately we are unable to hold your seats without payment in full. If
accounts are not paid in full by the deadline, seats are released without
notice. Any returning season ticket holders would be considered as new accounts
and seated with the best available locations at that time.
Q: I have been sharing my season account with friends; we would like to separate
the seats into individual accounts so we can receive our own mailings. How would
I do that?
A: Splitting season accounts can be done if the current account holder makes
this request in writing to the Fred Meyer Broadway Across America - Portland office before the renewal
deadline. Complete address information for the parties involved needs to be
included with their payment in full. Once new accounts have been created, only
the new account holder can access his/her account.
Q: Can I exchange my tickets for a specific show before they are mailed if I
know in advance that I have a schedule conflict?
A: Although you may now know the show you have a conflict with we are unable to
exchange shows during the season renewal campaign. Tickets can be exchanged
during our Courtesy Week or anytime after that.
Q: Can the benefit of ordering priority tickets for added shows or extra tickets
to season shows be extended to family and friends?
A: For security purposes, only the person whose name is on the account may
access information or order additional tickets using that account number. We are
happy to provide additional tickets to any Fred Meyer Broadway Across America - Portland show for your
family and friends, but the request must come from the account holder. All
tickets ordered will be mailed to the address on the account. No exceptions.
Q: When will I receive my Season Tickets?
A: Season tickets will be mailed to the address listed on your account four to
six weeks prior to your first scheduled performance.
Q. I would like to purchase a large number of tickets for my company event or
charitable function. How do I do that?
A. For groups of 20 or more
click here or call 503.321.5251 Mon. - Fri. 9am - 5pm.
Q. How do we pay for Group tickets?
A. Once we receive your order, we place seats on hold for your group and issue
the group leader/contact person a contract. The group leader/contact person
signs the contract and returns it to our office with a 25% deposit within 10
days, to hold your seats. Six (6) weeks before the show date, the final payment
is due.
Q. Am I committed to the full number of seats on the group contract?
A. You can adjust your ticket number either up or down before the final payment
is due as long as you don't drop below the minimum of twenty (20).
Q. Can I return group tickets?
A. Once we receive your final payment and send you your tickets, there are NO
REFUNDS or exchanges.
Q. How soon can I order tickets for my group?
A. We take orders as soon as our season is announced, up to one year in advance.
Orders are filled on a first come first served basis.
