The Benefits of Being a Washington Performing Arts Subscriber
Instead of buying and seeing just one concert, subscribers reserve seats for multiple events. Free ticket exchanges, reduced handling fees, advance access to special events, guest pass tickets, and more. Subscribers receive deeper savings, access to seats before the general public, and better access to all Washington Performing Arts offers. Subscribers enjoy benefits not available to single-ticket holders, and the more shows you see, the lower the tickets cost.
