Frequently Asked Questions – Wells Fargo Center for the Arts

In 2006, the board of directors of the Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation granted a 10-year naming sponsorship to Wells Fargo Bank. The sponsorship agreement provides essential funding to maintain the non-profit Center’s facility and many arts and education programs. The Arts Center is still owned and operated by the Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation.

Some of our resident companies and rental partners opt to use outside ticketing services.

For our patron’s own security, we strongly recommend that you do not purchase tickets from any supplier other than Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. Only tickets purchased directly from Wells Fargo Center for the Arts can be guaranteed, and tickets purchased from any other source are done so at your own risk and may be deemed invalid.

Lost, damaged, or stolen tickets may be reprinted for reserved-seating performances only and will be available for pick-up one hour prior to the performance. Please present your current picture ID to the Box Office attendant. There is a $2.00 per ticket reprint fee. Lost or stolen Standing Room Only tickets and those for general admission performances can not be replaced or refunded.

Accessible seating for patrons with mobility limitations are located in several places on the main floor of the theater.  Tickets for these locations can be purchased online, or by contacting the ticket office by phone or in person. Please also visit the Accessibility section of our website for more information.

Ticket prices are determined by the cost to present a performance (artist fees and operating costs) divided by the number of seats available. The Arts Center subsidizes many of its school, family, and arts performances in order to make these shows affordable. Revenue from tickets sales represents only half of the Arts Center’s operating budget. The remainder comes from generous community donations.

Our feature performances (generally with an 8pm start time) are designed for adults, and children under the age of 5 are not permitted. Our family events with afternoon and early evening start times are suited for children and recommended for children ages 3-12. All children, regardless of age, are required to have tickets.

No, and this includes the use of cell phones for taking pictures.

No, parking is available during the Center’s operating hours only and is reserved for event patrons, rental cu

We serve Lagunitas IPA, Victoria Beer, Peroni Beer, Rodney Strong Vineyards wine, Gloria Ferrer Sparkling wine, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Calistoga Berry Juice, Thanksgiving Coffee,  Oregon Rain Water and cookies.  For an additional $3.00, patrons are also able to enjoy beverages inside the theater with our new Concert Cups. The cup is yours to keep, and may be used at future performances.

For our Family Fun Series we also offer pizza (however, no alcohol is available).

We ask patrons to be respectful of others and behave in an appropriate manner related to the performance that they are attending. Please use discretion when choosing whether it is appropriate to remain seated during a performance or to stand and/or dance at your seat.  Due to strict fire department regulations it is never permissible to stand in any aisle space.

If your enjoyment of a performance is being compromised by other members of the audience, please speak with a house manager, volunteer usher, or member of our security staff.

Please Note: Standing and/or dancing for extended lengths of time is expected at some performances and is noted on our website and printed show materials.
