Theater Policies

Refund Policy
All sales are final. No refunds will be made due to event time or date change(s). For information on an event canceled due to inclement weather, see Canceled or Postponed Events.

Exchange Policy
Generally, ticket exchanges must be for the same event, venue, and date. At their discretion, some Presenters may allow exchanges for a longer running series, such as theatrical shows, or for events presented within the same organization or GU department. Exchanges may not be available for Presents Series performances unless otherwise specified by the patron’s classification (Member Donors and Pick Three purchases).

Ticket exchange requests must be received at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled performance and are subject to availability. New tickets must be of equal or greater price than your current tickets. Any balance due from a ticket exchange is the responsibility of the ticket holder.

No exchanges or credit will be available after a show has passed.
Exchanges can be requested in person at the Box Office or by email at ticketcenter@gonzaga.edu. Original tickets must be returned to receive the new tickets in exchange.

Payment Information
The Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center (and Magnuson Theater) Box Office accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and AMEX credit & debit cards, checks & money orders (made payable to Gonzaga University), and cash for all ticket sales and donation-related transactions.

Door/Gate Opening Times

Will Call
The Gonzaga Performing arts Box Office operates Will Call at the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center during regular office hours, Monday - Friday Noon - 5:00 p.m. On performance days and weekends, Will Call will open at the same time as the doors/gate for the event you are attending.

Event day Will Call is transferred to the appropriate venue's ticket booth for every event. For example, performances in the Magnuson Theatre will have Will Call tickets held onsite at the Magnuson Theater for pickup starting at the door/gate opening time.

Valid picture identification is required for any ticket pick up. Will Call tickets will only be released to the name on the Will Call envelope. No refunds will be given for tickets that are not picked up.

What should I do if a performance is Sold Out?

Check Our Ticketing Website Regularly: If a patron reschedules or cancels, their tickets would automatically become available for purchase again through the Ticket Center on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, the Myrtle Woldson Center may release additional tickets for unused seat holds up to the day of performance. Ticket availability for sold out shows will stop online 90 minutes before the show when Will Call begins, and must thereafter be purchased through the onsite Box Office.

Full Price Standby Tickets: Visit The Myrtle Woldson Center Box Office 90 minutes before performance times to have your name added to our Full Price Standby List. Standby ticket sales will begin in-person ONLY at the Box Office, starting 90 minutes before curtain. We are not able to hold seats or take patron information or payment in advance, and the Box Office will not take names for a waiting list over the phone.

If someone with seats for the performance does not arrive by show time, a Standby Ticket holder may take their place in the theater. Tickets released prior to curtain will also be made available to the Standby List. If the paid ticket-holder does not arrive to claim their seat within the late-seating timeframe, that seat will be re-assigned to a Standby Ticket holder for that event. If a Standby Ticket holder gets “bumped” from a seat, and no other seats are available for a Sold Out show, they would be eligible for same-day refund while the Box Office is open. Refunds are not available to any other ticket-holders and are not possible once the show has concluded.

There is seating in the lobby, and at most performances, beverages and snacks at concessions can be enjoyed while waiting. Each member of your party must be present (or near the lobby) when your name is announced from the Box Office, or your “Standby” spot will move to the next patron on the list, with any missing Standby Ticket holders moved to the bottom of the list.
