NO EXCHANGES unless you are a Carolina Theatre member. Learn more about ticket exchange, early access to tickets, and other perks on the membership page of our website.

Everyone 3 years of age and older must have a ticket (2 years old and under will not need a ticket as long as they do not require their own seat). Children under 5 are discouraged except for programming specifically designed for that age group.

Tickets are invalidated when purchased from an unauthorized source. Only purchase your tickets from the official Carolina Theatre of Durham website or directly from our box office to ensure validity and that you are receiving the best possible price.

Resale/attempted resale of a ticket at a price higher than face value is a violation of our terms and grounds for seizure/cancellation without refund. Only the first scan will allow entry — do not make copies.

Event, time, date, and location are subject to change. Cancelled events may be rescheduled and tickets will be honored at the rescheduled date. There will generally be no refunds for dates that are postponed or rescheduled. In some limited circumstances, tickets may be refunded if a buyer cannot make the rescheduled date, but any such refunds will not be processed until the alternative date is announced. For the most up to date information on a show’s status, please visit carolinatheatre.org.
All tickets and fees must be paid for in full at the time of booking.

A customer making a booking on behalf of a group accepts the Carolina Theatre of Durham’s terms and conditions on behalf of all group members and becomes responsible for making all payments due.
For performances taking place outside of the Carolina Theatre, the Carolina Theatre acts only as a ticket agent for the venue, performing company or society concerned. Tickets are issued per the outside party’s regulations. Customers are advised to contact the outside party directly if they should have any questions that aren’t specifically related to booking tickets.

Tickets for performances taking place outside the Carolina Theatre will be moved to the outside venue for Will Call pickup on show day.

Any refunds due to cancellation or unforeseen facility closure will be issued in the amount of the ticket only. Refunds for purchases paid by cash and/or check will be issued within 10 business days by company check payable to the original purchaser.  Credit card transactions will be refunded to the original credit card used.  The Carolina Theatre is only able to inform customers who have valid contact details in our database. Any customer who buys tickets without giving up to date contact information or buys through a third-party does so at their own risk. Cancelled events may be rescheduled and tickets will be honored at the rescheduled date. There will generally be no refunds for dates that are postponed or rescheduled. In some limited circumstances, tickets may be refunded if a buyer cannot make the rescheduled date, but such refunds will not be processed until the alternative date is announced. For the most up to date information on a show’s status, please visit carolinatheatre.org.

You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not dispute or otherwise seek a “chargeback” from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets. Nor will you attempt any legal action related to a ticket purchase. Should you do so, your tickets are subject to immediate cancellation without refund, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or patron accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit future purchases from all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated patron account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision. The theater may also seek legal redress or begin collection proceedings against you or any party taking such action.

Understand that by purchasing tickets from this ticketing site or our box office, you are automatically entered into both the Carolina Theatre patron database and the email and text subscriber lists, with the option to unsubscribe at any time.

Tickets for sale are intended for purchase by adults only.
