Here you will find answers to common questions about the Leonard & Claire Tow Center for the Performing Arts
FAQ
How do I reserve tickets?
Advance tickets are sold through Leonard & Claire Tow Center for the Performing Arts website. When a show has not sold out, we offer limited tickets for sale at the door. The box office will open two hours before the published start time of any ticketed event.
Do you offer discount pricing to Brooklyn College students, alumni, elders, veterans, or others?
Yes! Email us to explore options.
What time does the event start?
Events usually start 30 minutes to one hour after doors open. Click through the event links to find specific start times, especially when programs occur on multiple days. Latecomers arriving after a performance has started will be admitted only as specified by Tow Center staff.
The website says a program is sold out. Is that true?
We release unoccupied seats five minutes before start time. If there are cancellations or no shows, there is a chance that a few seats will become available. If you are interested in those seats, arrive early, form a queue, and wait for the will-call line to finish taking their seats before requesting tickets.
I can no longer attend a show. Can I get a refund?
All sales are final. Tickets are nonrefundable.
What health and safety precautions do you take?
Masking is not required, but the use of masks is always welcome. For the health and safety of our entire community, we strongly recommend staying home if you are feeling sick.
May I use my phone / record / film / take pictures of a performance?
We ask that you power down your phone completely during performances as unexpected light, sound, and vibration can be distracting to both the artists onstage as well as your fellow audience members.
If you would like to take a quick video or photo during the performance, check with us first—artists need to make a living off their work. We will be able to let you know artist preferences regarding documentation.
Can I bring or purchase food and beverages?
No food or drinks are allowed into the theaters. We do not offer concessions at the Tow Center.
Can I check my bag or coat?
We do not provide a coat check in any of our theaters. Note that coats, parcels, and bags may be subject to search as a condition of entry.
Can I smoke?
Smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere on the Brooklyn College campus.
