Ticket Policies and Information
Who You Are Buying From
The Fine Arts Ticket Office acts as the ticketing agent of those who are presenting, promoting, or otherwise providing the events (i.e. FSU College of Music, Flying High Circus, School of Dance, School of Theatre) for which you purchase tickets, such as venues, organizations, departments, artists’ representatives and fan clubs (“Event Providers”). The Fine Arts Ticket Office facilitates your purchase of an Event Provider’s tickets via tickets.fsu.edu and/or the Fine Arts Ticket Office phone line and in person. The Fine Arts Ticket Office sells tickets on behalf of Event Providers, which means we do not set ticket prices or determine seating availability. Tickets for popular events may sell out quickly. Occasionally, additional tickets may become available prior to the event. However, the Fine Arts Ticket Office does not control this inventory or availability.
Tickets obtained from unauthorized sources may be lost, stolen or counterfeit, and if so are void.
Each ticket that you purchase is a license to attend a particular event, and is subject to the additional terms set forth on that ticket as well as any applicable terms which the venue imposes. Tickets are a revocable license and may be taken up and admission refused upon refunding the purchase price. The holder of tickets agrees not to engage in photography or reproduction in any form of the event for which tickets are issued. Violation of the foregoing will automatically terminate the license. Any processing charges paid on tickets are NONREFUNDABLE in the case of cancellation of the event. Tickets will not be taken back for refund unless an event is cancelled and not rescheduled.
