In the interest of preserving affordable ticket prices for all patrons:
Shea’s Performing Arts Center is not responsible for tickets purchased through unauthorized third parties. We reserve the right to refuse to sell tickets to identified ticket brokers and scalpers. We also reserve the right to revoke any tickets sold to identified ticket brokers and scalpers through a full refund at face value. Anyone holding a revoked ticket will not be allowed in the theatre. “Scalpers" and ticket brokers are not recognized ticketing agents of Shea’s Performing Arts Center. If you purchase from a non-authorized person, you risk purchasing a lost or stolen ticket that is not valid for admittance into Shea’s for the event in question. Shea’s employs scanning technology for admittance to events. Only valid tickets will scan to authorize entry into the theatre for the event. Lost or stolen tickets may be deactivated and thus will not be valid for entry into the theatre for the event in question. Anyone who purchases tickets from a scalper or ticket broker does so at his or her own risk. We urge everyone to purchase tickets at the Shea’s Box Office, online at sheas.org or Ticketmaster.com, by phone at 852-5000 or at authorized Ticketmaster locations including FYE stores.
