Currency

All ticket prices for events are stated in U.S. Dollars.

Payment Methods

Colorado Ballet accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Colorado Ballet Gift Certificates. We no longer accept cash or checks at the Ellie Box Office for performances.

Third Party Vendors

Colorado Ballet sells tickets on its website, coloradoballet.org. Occasionally, we will also sell tickets to select performances through Travelzoo, Groupon, and/or Goldstar. Colorado Ballet does not partner with or endorse other ticketing vendors and we cannot guarantee the quality of ticketing services through other ticketing vendors. Because we do not guarantee the authenticity of tickets purchased from any non-authorized third party vendor (such as brokers or individuals), we recommend that you purchase tickets directly through us or from our authorized partners.

Colorado Ballet cannot re-print or refund tickets obtained from unauthorized sources. If bought through an unauthorized seller, tickets may be stolen or counterfeit, and if so, are void.

Pricing and Availability

Tickets are sold through several distribution points, including online, phone center, and box office. Most distribution points generally access the same ticketing system and inventory. Based on availability, ticket prices and availability may change for events and may not be reflected on seating maps.

Order Confirmation

If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm whether your order has been successfully placed by contacting Colorado Ballet ticketing at 303-339-1637 or tickets@coloradoballet.org. Only you are aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. We will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if the assumption is made that an order was not placed because the order confirmation was not received. If you are unsure if an order was placed, please contact us prior to re-purchasing as no refund will be given.

Number of Tickets or "Ticket Limits"

When purchasing tickets on our site, you are limited to 10 tickets for each production (also known as a "ticket limit"). This ticket limit is posted during the purchase process and is verified with every transaction. This policy is in effect to discourage unfair ticket buying practices. We reserve the right to cancel any or all orders and tickets without notice to you if the posted limits are exceeded. This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number or other information. Companies and groups requesting 10 or more tickets should contact the Colorado Ballet ticketing office at 303-339-1637 or tickets@coloradoballet.org.

Canceled and Rescheduled Events

Should a ballet performance be canceled or postponed for any reason, we will attempt to contact all ticket holders for that performance and will provide appropriate accommodations.

Colorado Ballet performances will only be canceled due to weather if the City of Denver officially closes due to weather. Otherwise, performances will occur, rain, snow or shine. Please contact us at 303-339-1637 or tickets@coloradoballet.org should you have any questions or concerns.

Exchanges, Ticket Donations, and Refunds

Colorado Ballet offers refunds only in the event of a performance cancellation and does not refund any service or handling fees. We will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed event. If a ticket was purchased through a third-party site, the patron must contact that third party retailer directly to pursue a refund for a cancelled performance.

Season subscribers may exchange tickets free of charge based on availability. Single ticket buyers may exchange tickets for a $10 per ticket fee, unless it is C Seating, then it is a $10 per order fee. All ticket exchanges must be requested up to 24-hours before show time. Same seating is not guaranteed and is based on current availability.

If you are unable to use your tickets and are unwilling or unable to exchange them, you may donate your tickets back to Colorado Ballet as a tax-deductible donation in the amount paid for the tickets. Ticket donations must be requested up to 24-hours before show time. Acknowledgement of the donation will be sent to the donating ticket holder within two weeks of the donation date for their tax purposes.

Please note that tickets purchased for a commercial purpose or in any other way in violation of our policies will not be exchanged or refunded. You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not contact us to seek a refund or exchange from us and you will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the credit card company used to purchase tickets from the site. Should you do so, your tickets may be canceled, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made.

service and handling fees

Colorado Ballet is happy to include all service fees within the price of your ticket.

A $5 per ticket handling fee will be applied for all ticket purchases with Standard Mail or Will Call as the selected ticket delivery method. If Mobile Ticket delivery is selected, a $5 per ticket fee will be charged only if physical tickets are requested for printing at the box office the day of the performance.

We encourage you to dress however makes you most comfortable as long as you are dressed in an appropriate manner.

Also, please do not talk during the performance. If you need to answer your phone, please exit the theater to the lobby. Cameras and/or recording devices are not allowed during performances.
