What happens after I submit my online reservation?
• Once we receive your online reservation request, we will reserve the seats requested in your account and then send you an email confirmation with instructions on how to access your invoice via your online account portal. This allows you to access the most up-to-date version of your invoice at your own convenience! You will also be able to download, print, and email a copy of the invoice to yourself for your school’s records.
• Additionally, you can conveniently process the payment for the seats owed on the assigned final payment date.
• We kindly ask that you review the invoice once you receive confirmation that the seats have been added to your account so that if there are any changes that need to be made, it can be updated immediately. Since invoices will typically be sent out in advance, reminder emails will be sent out starting 2 weeks before payment is due.

What if my invoice is incorrect or needs to be updated?
If you encounter any issues or have any questions about your invoice, please email [email protected] if your invoice needs to be changed/updated. You are not able to make these changes using your online portal.

What if I do not have the exact number of seats needed for our reservation?
If you are unsure of the number of students attending a particular performance, you may estimate that number on the order form. We will allow a variance of up to 15% on the number of seats ordered. It is best to estimate a little higher in case a show sells out.

Do you have scholarship opportunities for schools who qualify for this assistance?
Yes! Please fill out our Education Ticket Scholarship application form found on the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center website. Applications will be reviewed, and you will be notified if your school is awarded a scholarship. Schools receiving a scholarship will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

What happens if the P.A.C. does not receive my payment at the time of its due date?
Please email [email protected] if your payment will be late. However, if we follow up with you regarding your overdue payment and do not receive a response, your seats may be subject to be released from your account and your reservation will be cancelled.

What if we have parent chaperones meeting us at the Fox Cities P.A.C.?
Please advise chaperones arriving separately from your group to meet the group outside of the theater. Should any chaperones arrive late, we will ask the teacher to identify the individual before joining the group.
