Planning Your Stay

Transportation
Read about nearby parking. Groups who are planning a bus or motorcoach trip should contact the Overture Center at 608.258.4153 at least one week prior to the concert date to obtain parking details. Patrons may be dropped off and picked up at the Fairchild Street entrance to Overture Center, but buses may not remain parked there during the performance.

Frequently asked questions
Is a deposit required? We require a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold seats for your group. The deposit, payable by check or credit card, will be credited toward your total balance.

When is final payment due? The remaining balance is due 4 weeks prior to your event. The final payment may be made with cash, check or credit card. Once final payment has been received, there are no refunds or exchanges.

Can I change my order? Yes! Group orders can be adjusted until the time of final payment. Once final payment has been received, there are no refunds or exchanges. However, if you need to add more seats after your final payment is made, simply call 608.257.3734 x222; as long as there is still seat availability, we can accommodate additional members of your group.

Can my group sit together? We will make every effort to seat all members of your group together. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. In general, the farther in advance you make reservations, the more likely it is that we can accommodate your seating requests.

How far in advance can I make a request? If you can pick a date, we can take a request. Advance ordering is the key to the best available seats.

Will my group be assigned seats when I make a request? That depends on the time of year you call. Our concert season, which runs from September to May, is announced in March or April. Although we can take a request for seats at any time, we cannot confirm seating until mid- to late-August. At that time, seating requests will be filled in the order in which they were received. All orders received after that time can be quoted specific seating assignments within three days of ordering, upon request.

What about handling fees? The Overture Center charges an $10 handling fee for your entire group, regardless of the number of seats.

How do I get my tickets? There's no need to wait in line at the box office. After final payment has been made, we will mail your tickets to you.
