ABOUT TELECHARGE
Who is Telecharge?
Telecharge is a division of The Shubert Organization and the leading provider of ticketing services for Broadway and off-Broadway events. As the authorized agent for most Broadway shows, we have direct access to the best seats in the house. And unlike a reseller, we never mark-up the face amount or established price of the ticket; the only charges you pay above the established box office price are our service charges, which compare favorably to our competitors and are clearly disclosed on this site and during the purchasing process.
What shows do sell?
We list all Broadway shows, many off-Broadway shows, and a variety of other events across the United States. If we don’t handle the ticketing for a Broadway show, we will link you to the site of the authorized ticket seller for that show.
What seats in the theatre are available from the website?
Telecharge sells tickets direct from the venue box office. They are the same tickets available by phone.
Do you offer presales?
We also give you access to presales (e.g., sales to a limited group, such as American Express® Card Members) that take place before the public sale. Presales and public onsales use the same pool of tickets that are sold by our phone agents and at the box office.
Who determines the ticket prices for a show or event?
Ticket prices are set by the producers of a show or event, in consultation with the venue. Telecharge does not set ticket prices.
What are the service and handling charges?
Telecharge service charges vary by event. In general, you can expect to pay a service charge per ticket. There are additional charges for mail delivery (e.g. USPS, FedEx).
Why do I have to pay service charges?
Telecharge does not make money on the ticket itself. Service charges allow us to provide customers with fast and convenient access to tickets. We try to keep our fees reasonable and deliver top-notch service.
What is the facility fee or theatre restoration charge?
The facility fee is a charge by the venue owner for upkeep. We will always tell you if there is a facility fee and how much.
USING TELECHARGE
How does Telecharge protect my credit card information?
Telecharge uses Digital IDs from VeriSign, leaders in internet transaction security. We also comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard to protect your credit card information and prevent identity theft. All transactions use a secure network to help ensure that no one else can intercept the information you provide.
Is a Telecharge account required to buy tickets?
You can check out with a Telecharge account or as a guest. Using a Telecharge account speeds up your purchase and makes it easier for you to access your orders later. Go to "My Account" at the top of any page to view your orders.
What browsers can I use?
Telecharge works with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and some versions of Internet Explorer.
Can I check my order status on the website?
If you have a Telecharge account, go to "My Account" at the top of any page and log in with your username and password. Click on an order number to view the detailed order information. If you checked out as a guest, click on “Order Status” in the footer and enter your email address and order number (found in your confirmation email). If you do not know your order number, call Telecharge Customer Service at 212-239-6210 or 800-543-4835.
SHOPPING FOR TICKETS
I can’t find the show I want. Are there tickets available?
If a show or event is not listed, it may have already closed or has not yet gone on sale.
I can’t find tickets for the dates I want. Are there tickets available?
If you are looking to buy tickets for a performance in the very near future, the performance may be sold out. Try searching for available seats for a later performance, especially on a weekday. If you are looking for tickets for a performance date far in advance, that performance may not be on sale yet.
Where can I view the seating chart for a venue?
You can find the seating chart for a venue by visiting the show page and clicking on the "Seating Chart" tab.
Can I choose my seat locations?
When searching for tickets, the seating chart displays the available seats for that performance. Use the radio buttons at the top to select your section. Use the price slider to narrow down the available seats by price. Select your preferred seats on the chart and click “Next.”
What does "best available" mean?
During very high-demand periods, the ticketing system will choose what it considers the best seat location and display seats for you to choose. If you are not happy with those seats, you can view the next set of seats or change your search options.
How do I find out about accessible seating?
The “Access Information” tab on a show page provides information on access into the theatre, as well as specific locations of wheelchair, transfer arm, and companion seating. To search for seats, go to “Find Tickets” and click on “Wheelchair-Only Locations & Transfer Arm Seats.” If you need assistance purchasing wheelchair or transfer arm seating, contact Telecharge Access Services at 212-239-6222.

ATTENDING A SHOW
Can I use my phone at the show?
Phones must be turned off during the performance, but you may be able to take pictures and share your experience before and after the show, and at intermission. Many theatres offer free Wi-Fi, and shows have great ways to share social content and be a part of the conversation.
Can I bring my own food and drinks into the theatre?
Outside food and beverages are not permitted in the theatre, unless medically necessary.
Can I bring my luggage to the theatre?
Due to heightened security, you should avoid bringing packages, luggage, shopping bags, and backpacks to the theatre. All bags and packages are subject to inspection prior to entry. Many theatres will not check luggage or packages. Anything brought into the theatre must fit on your lap or completely under your seat without blocking any aisles or passageways.

No weapons permitted on the premises. All patrons must have a ticket to enter the theatre. Please have your ticket available for inspection at all times. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Most venues have accessible locations designated for patrons who use wheelchairs. Wheelchair transfer seats with folding armrests are available. Companion seats are also available.
