Do programs change or get cancelled?

All programs and artists are subject to change. If one of our events is canceled or postponed, we will notify you via email. In the event of a program cancellation, you can receive a refund or exchange your ticket for another show on the same season. In the event of a rescheduling, you can exchange your ticket for the new date; if you are unable to make the new date, you can exchange for a different performance on the same season. Refunds will be on a case-by-case basis.

What should I wear to a performance?

Santa Fe is a casual town and there is no set dress code. Most people wear clothing that is appropriate for a cocktail party or business casual. We ask that you refrain from wearing strongly scented products and be mindful of clothing, jewelry, and accessories that make noise.

When should I arrive and where can I park?

Parking varies by venue. We recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to any scheduled event start time to park and locate your seat. For additional information, contact our Box Office at (505) 984-8759.

What if I arrive late to the performance?

We will do our best to get you into the performance at the earliest appropriate break in the program to minimize disruption.

What if I can’t make it to the show?

Once tickets have been purchased, there are no refunds. Only subscribers and Annual Fund members at the Director Level and above may exchange their tickets for another performance. If you are unable to use your tickets, you may donate them back to Performance Santa Fe as a tax-deductible contribution. Please call or email our Box Office prior to the show to let us know that you are unable to attend and wish to donate your tickets.

What are your COVID-19 safety precautions?

Ensuring the health and safety of our patrons, artists, staff, and community are of the highest importance to us. To that end, have developed a set of COVID-19 Safe Practices, which are updated based on local, state, and federal guidelines. Review our COVID-19 Safe Practices before you arrive to our office or one of our events.
