THRIVENT FINANCIAL FOR LUTHERANS EDUCATION SERIES 2009/10 POLICIES
Admission is $5 to $7 depending on the performance. Admission fees are used to help pay the artists’ fees and operation costs of our education programs. Prices are kept as low as possible with help from our generous sponsors! One complimentary ticket is offered for every 15 tickets purchased. All tickets must be reserved through the school group.
- Parents are not permitted to purchase tickets on their own unless they are a certified home school group.
- No printed tickets are issued for education performances. Seating assignments are handed out on the day of the performance and location is determined by reservation date, special seating needs, grade level and group size.
- All groups must be accompanied by at least one adult.
All adult chaperones need to wear a nametag the day of the performance to help us account for the adults in the building and know which group they are with. For your convenience, nametags will be handed out at the check-in table upon your arrival at the Center. Please use the suggested grade levels listed for each performance as a guide to determine what is appropriate for your students.
- As a courtesy to the performers and the audience, we strongly recommend that children be at least three years old.
- Booster seats will not be used during education performances.
- Babies in arms will not be permitted in the theater and will need to remain in the lobby with a chaperone. Everyone, regardless of age, must purchase a ticket.
Due to the nature of theatrical bookings, prices, shows, artists, dates and times are subject to change.
Reservations are accepted by the group sales department on a first come-first served basis. Once the reservation is made, a signed invoice and a 25% non-refundable deposit is required within 10 business days for reservations exceeding 15 tickets. Reservations of less than 15 tickets will require a credit card number on file to charge on the balance due date or payment in full with a personal check within 10 business days. Reservations made before September 1 will have until September 11, 2009 to pay the deposit or full payment and return a signed copy of the invoice.
Final payment and ticket count adjustments are due a minimum of four weeks prior to the event or your seats will be released. To accommodate last minute class size changes, you may request additional tickets after the four week deadline but tickets will be subject to availability and may not be with the rest of your group. After the final payment is received, refunds will not be given. Payments can be made with one form or payment (i.e. check made payable to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center or credit card) and received prior to your scheduled performance date. No cash please. A $30 fee will be charged on all returned checks. Payments should be mailed to Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, attention: group sales, 400 West College Avenue, Appleton WI 54911.
Refunds or exchanges will only be honored if an event is cancelled by the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center or if your school is closed or delayed.
- Because we are unable to resell reserved seats, no refunds are issued for unused seats on the day of the performance, including student illness.
