Wheelchair accessible seating is provided for all shows and can be reserved through in-person visits, or phone orders. This seating ensures that patrons can enjoy the performance while remaining in the comfort of their own wheelchairs. Furthermore, we offer several transfer-accessible aisle seats for guests who use wheelchairs and prefer to sit in a standard theater seat.

If you require assistance in making these arrangements, please don't hesitate to reach out to the University Ticket Office at 707.826.3928 or email ticket@humboldt.edu.

In accordance with campus policy, there are NO animals, with the exception of service animals (not therapy or comfort animals), allowed at or in Cal Poly Humboldt events or facilities.

Service Animals

Service animals are welcomed at all campus venues. Service animals are those that fall under the categories defined in titles II and III of the ADA and are individually trained to perform tasks directly related to a person's disability. It's important to note that animals whose primary role is to provide comfort or emotional support no longer meet the criteria for service animals as per the ADA. For additional information, please visit www.ada.gov.

At this time, clear bags are not required, but this policy is subject to change.

In the event of a performance cancellation, the University Ticket Office will issue a refund. If you used a credit card or debit card for the ticket purchase, the refund will be automatically credited back to the original card. For payments made by check, cash, account credit, or any split-tender method, the refund will be processed by check from the University, and this process may take up to five weeks.

Our events are generally open to all ages, but please note that every attendee, regardless of age, will require a ticket for entry.
