INDIVIDUAL TICKETS are available on our website, by phone, or at the venue box office, open two hours before each event’s start time (while tickets last). Loos Center for the Arts accepts all major credit cards, cash, and Loos Center for the Arts gift certificates.
GROUP RATE TICKETS for groups of 10 or more may be available on an event-by-event basis. Discounts are only eligible for orders completed in one transaction, for the same event. Group rate tickets, if available for an event, will be published on the events listing and available on our website or by phone. Group rates are not available for walk-up sales.

SERVICE FEES are applied on all Loos Center for the Arts tickets, regardless of purchase method (web, phone, and box office). Ticket service fees cover the ticketing provider’s “license” to use their system. The fee is based on the face value of each ticket.

CHILDREN’S POLICY: Children under the age of four are not permitted at Loos Center for the Arts events unless the performance is a designated family/children’s show. Please call the Box Office or visit individual show pages on our website for show-specific age recommendations. All visitors, regardless of age, require a ticket.
Thank you for joining us at the concert this evening. The students have worked diligently on their music since September and are excited to showcase their hard work. We ask that you kindly refrain from cell phone use while the students are performing. If you are taking photos of your child, please do not turn on the flash as this is a safety issue for the performers. And finally, if you must leave the theater during the concert, we ask that you exit and enter during applause or when the groups are changing places on the stage. Thank you and enjoy the show!
