FAQs
Below is a list of frequently asked questions we have received from our patrons - if you need additional information, please call the Shubert Box Office at 203-562-5666.
I bought tickets next to each other, but my seat numbers show they aren’t side by side!
The arrangement of numbered seats allows our ushers to identify your seating location and help seat you quickly:
LEFT AND RIGHT SECTION SEATS: seats on the right side of the theatre have even numbers, and seats on the left side have odd numbers. Although your tickets may ‘seem’ to be off by one number, they are next to each other.
CENTER SECTION SEATS: are numbered sequentially with numbers from 101 to 114.
If I arrive late for a performance, will I have to wait to be seated?
Performance times are printed on all Shubert tickets - latecomers will be seated at the discretion of management and the ushers. Due to the policy of the individual show, you may be asked to wait in the back of the theatre for a short time. If you are asked to wait in the lobby, a large screen TV is available for you to view the performance while you are waiting to be seated.
What is the theatre’s policy on refunds and exchanges?
All sales are final - there are no refunds. Free ticket exchanges for another performance of the same show are offered to Broadway Series Subscribers and Donors.
Exchanges must be made at the Shubert Box Office or by mail. Original tickets must be returned at least 48 hours prior to the performance date printed on those tickets.

How can I pay for tickets?
