Ticketing

The Fox Tucson Theater Box Office generally opens two hours prior to each performance. Each ticket has a unique barcode and only the first scan of the tickets will allow entry into the event. Keep your tickets in a safe place.

Will Call Tickets can be picked up anytime the Box Office is open (Fox Fan tickets are excluded–these can be picked up on day-of-show only). If coming to a show, there is no need to pick up your Will Call Tickets in advance – just come to the Will Call window when you arrive for the show, but feel free to give yourself a bit of extra time in case there is a line.
