make your plans early
Once you’ve received your subscriber guide and season tickets, feel free to call the box office to reschedule performances and purchase additional single tickets. Tickets for Season 08/09 go on sale to the general public on August 17, 2008; you’ll have the opportunity to exchange your current tickets and purchase additional tickets before this happens. Of course, you can exchange tickets up to the day before your performance, and purchase additional tickets at any time later in the season as well. Call the Box Office at 510 647–2949, Tuesday–Sunday, noon–7pm.
ticket exchange
Exchange your tickets for another performance—free! Exchanges are made on a seat-available basis for the same production only. When exchanging for a higher-priced performance, or if you request a more expensive seating section, you will be charged the difference in ticket price. Exchanges can be made online until midnight the day before your scheduled performance, and until 7pm the day before your performance by phone, fax or in person. Note: The box office is closed on Mondays.

ticket safe deposit
If you like, send us your tickets and we’ll store them at the Theatre after you’ve recorded the dates. That way, they’ll never get lost, and if you need to exchange your tickets to a different date, we’ll already have them!
lost ticket replacement
If you ever lose your tickets, don’t panic! Just call the Box Office at 510 647–2949 up to one hour prior to your showtime. We’ll happily arrange replacement vouchers for your seats.
ticket donation
Berkeley Repertory Theatre is a professional not-for-profit organization. If at the last minute you are unable to attend your performance, you may donate your tickets to Berkeley Rep by contacting the Box Office at least one hour prior to your showtime. The value of your donated tickets is tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by mail. Tickets cannot be replaced, donated or exchanged for past performances.
a few guidelines
- Listening aids for hearing impaired patrons are available in the lobby one half hour before the performance.
- Recorded descriptive tapes for sight impaired patrons are available and must be reserved at least 2 business days in advance of your performance (call the Box Office to request these materials).
- Some of our productions include mature subject matter and/or language that may be inappropriate for children. Please inquire with us whenever you’re thinking of bringing children to a performance. As a rule of thumb, we advise against bringing children under the age of seven.
- Please turn off beepers, cell phones and watch alarms prior to entering the Theatre.
- The use of recording equipment or the taking of photographs in the Theatre is strictly prohibited.
- Many of our patrons have sensitivities to perfumes and other scents. We ask you to take this into consideration and keep perfume use to a minimum.
- Please let us know if your address, phone number or e-mail address changes.
reminder: no late seating
For the safety of our patrons, and for the integrity of our productions, latecomers cannot be seated until an intermission. If you are late, you may view the show on a closed-circuit television monitor in the lobby. You’ll be seated during the first intermission, unless the production allows for earlier seating. Also, patrons who leave the Theatre while a performance is in progress will not be allowed re-entry until intermission except at the discretion of the House Manager.
restaurant discounts
As a Berkeley Rep subscriber, you are eligible for discounts at several fine restaurants in Berkeley. Simply present your subscriber ticket before ordering, and the restaurant will apply the discount immediately. These discounts only apply for subscribers in your party (the number of seats you purchased in your package); discounts are not applicable for alcohol and gratuity.
