Ticket Guidelines

Due to the nature of live entertainment, dates, times, performers, and prices are subject to change. All patrons, regardless of age, must have a ticket. No exchanges or refunds. Tickets are subject to additional fees and taxes. Order and handling fees are non-refundable in the event of a cancelled or postponed performance. Those fees go toward the day-to-day operations and maintenance of Bass Performance Hall, McDavid Studio and Van Cliburn Recital Hall and are used to fund the convenience of purchasing tickets remotely. In-person ticket sales do not incur fees.

Performing Arts Fort Worth (PAFW) has a nine (9) ticket limit that is enforced per name, credit card, gift card account or purchaser, billing address, phone number, IP address, and/or e-mail address. Certain types of seating may have a different ticket limit. In the event that an account holder purchases more than the specified limit, PAFW, in its sole discretion, reserves the right (with or without notice) to revoke tickets and issue refunds for sales in excess of the designated limit. Cancelled orders are subject to a cancellation fee.

Performing Arts Fort Worth (PAFW) does not support the reselling of tickets in excess of the face value through any means. Account holders who violate this policy may be subject to revocation of their account holder status and tickets. Barcodes and/or QR Codes of suspected resellers will not be accessible through our mobile app or website and will instead be held at will call on the day of the show. Tickets MUST be picked up with a valid photo ID with the same name and address as on the account under which the tickets were purchasedWe are dedicated to keeping tickets out of the hands of resellers by investing in technology that thwarts ticketing bots, by employing legal measures to take down misleading websites that attempt to look official, by identifying and cancelling orders placed by unauthorized resellers, and our ongoing efforts to educate the public to the dangers of purchasing from brokers and the secondary ticket market. 

The Bass Performance Hall website, basshall.com, is the only official online ticket source for Broadway at the Bass and Popular Entertainment tickets. You may also purchase tickets at the Performing Arts Fort Worth Box Office located in Bass Hall during Broadway at the Bass and Popular Entertainment shows. We make every effort to sell directly to consumers so that our guests receive the best seats at the best price and the best customer service.

  • We cannot be responsible for tickets purchased through unauthorized third parties.
  • We cannot replace your tickets if they are lost or stolen. 
  • We cannot issue a refund to you in case of an event cancellation.

  • You may be paying much more than the ticket’s face value.
