Tickets and Box Office Information

Tickets are required for all events held at the Center for the Performing Arts and are available through the box office or through Ticketmaster. Season ticket packages may also be purchased through the box office only.

Purchasing Tickets

The box office in the Center for the Performing Arts handles tickets for all College of Fine Arts events, including music and theatre performances in the Center, plus performances in Westhoff Theatre. Events in Kemp Recital Hall are generally free.

The Box Office is open 12 noon to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Call (309) 438-2535. Purchase tickets online! 24 hours a day!

There is a performance box office (often referred to as "will-call") open one hour before each performance for picking up tickets. For Center for the Performing Arts performances it is the main box office. For Westhoff Theatre performances, it is in the Westhoff lobby. For Madrigal Dinner performances, it is in the Bone Student Center Circus Room.

Ticket Policies

Ticket Validity:
Tickets are only valid until 5 minutes before a performance, at which time all empty seats will be made available for sale to rush seating patrons.

Late Seating:
Patrons who arrive after a performance has been started for a Westhoff Theatre production will not be seated until intermission if there is one (this is for safety requirements due to the intimate nature of the space -- entering the theatre requires walking on the stage). For events in the Center for the Performing Arts, patrons may be seated late at the discretion of the House Manager during an appropriate break in the performance.

Exchanges/Refunds:
Exchanges can be made for a $2.00 exchange fee per ticket at least 24 hours in advance. (First exchange fee is waived for subscribers.) Tickets can not be refunded. Madrigal Dinner tickets must be purchased at least 48 hours in advance and there are no refunds due to the cost of the meals.

Rush Seating:
For our sold out performances, rush seating passes may be available. Contact the box office for more information.
