A. The Fox is currently determining a date when touring artists are both available and ready to tour and perform and when it reasonable to expect that public health conditions will allow for large-scale events.

Tentative plans are to begin public, in-person programming again in fall of 2021, with the exact date still to be announced. We’ll share definitive news gladly with everyone as soon as we have it!

A. Please hold on to your tickets, they are still good for all upcoming and re-scheduled events. We will follow up with you and other ticket holders whenever we have more information to share about your event.

Maintaining physical distancing during a concert may also necessitate that we revise our seating charts. Because every event is unique in terms of seating plans (i.e., number of tickets already sold, artist agreements, pricing levels, etc.), we may temporarily place holds on new ticket sales for events as a case by case basis until a workable plan is in place to adhere to the 6’ a part seating standard.

Additionally, it is important to note that concert dates may still change (or change again) as we progress into the year, constantly taking stock of our unique situation as a performing arts venue. Our guiding principle is that the Fox will be open again for large-scale events when it is safe for the staff, artists and audiences to do so.

A. With tentative plans in place to safely reopen in the fall of 2021, we are working with artists and entertainers to reschedule the remaining spring and summer, 2021 events.  As soon as a new plan has been approved, we will open up any available tickets for sale and announce it on our website, social media and in our e-blasts.

A. Unfortunately, we don’t issue refunds if a show is rescheduled. There are a number of options available to you when considering what to do with your tickets:

• Donate your tickets back to the Fox. Donating the value of your tickets helps us support the people behind the work you love and minimize the fallout from this crisis.
• Become a Donor-Member. Use the credit on your account toward the purchase of a membership.
• Future performance. Apply your credit toward a future concert purchase.*
• Spread the love. Give your tickets to a friend or take a credit and bring friends to a future performance.
• Gift certificate. Apply the value toward a gift certificate.

COVID 19 Postponement Policy Refund Exception:

We understand that due to these extraordinary circumstances, not all ticket buyers will be able to attend these new showtimes. Upon notification of a date change, patrons will be given 30 days to request a refund (less fees).  Refunds can take up to 30 days to be processed.
