Notification list for tickets to at-capacity events

Even though a performance may reach capacity in advance, at times tickets may be released and become available for sale. In order to expand the number of people who can enjoy our performances, we have created an online notification list to inform patrons when tickets have been released for sold-out events. Signing up for the list does not guarantee a seat, and purchases will be fulfilled in the order received. 


When and where will I receive my tickets?

At time of your purchase, the default delivery method is mobile-friendly tickets. You can change that to request to receive your tickets by mail or have them held at will call. The mail option is no longer available after 10 days prior to the event.

What if I haven’t received my tickets?

For mobile-friendly tickets, you should receive your tickets by email within 15-20 minutes of placing your order. Please check spam/junk folders. For mailed tickets, please allow 10 business days for your tickets to arrive in the mail. If your tickets have not arrived within those time frames, please call the Bing Concert Hall Box Office at 650.724.2464 or send an email to bingboxoffice@stanford.edu

Handling charges

There is a $12 per order handling fee ($5 for Stanford students) and no additional per-ticket charges.


Refunds

At Stanford Live, we are committed to providing our customers with exceptional experiences in live performance, year-round. Our tickets are sold online, by phone, and in person at the Bing Concert Hall Ticket Office. If in the event you cannot use your ticket(s), exchanges and donations are available for most tickets purchased through Stanford Live, subject to fees. Refunds will only be given in the event of a canceled event. In rare circumstances, we reserve the right to reassign tickets and refuse refunds, exchanges, and donations for special events and performances.


Latecomers

Please be aware that all events start promptly at the time indicated on the ticket. To minimize disruptions, patrons arriving after curtain time will be seated at a suitable interval in the program as designated by the artist(s). We recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to performances to find parking and to take your seat before the curtain rises. Certain performances will not allow for any late seating.

Children

Stanford Live is committed to providing quality cultural experiences for audience members of all ages, although some performances may not be suitable for young children under the age of five. Regardless of age, all children must have a ticket; children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Age minimums may be in place for certain performances at the artists' request. See individual event pages for more info.  We ask that children attending Stanford Live performances sit quietly throughout the performance. Please inform Stanford Live Box Office personnel if you will be attending with a child so that they can assist you in making the best seating selection.


Electronic equipment

Please turn off all pagers, cellular phones, personal organizers, watch alarms, and other sound-emitting devices before the performance. Cameras and recording equipment are strictly prohibited. There is limited cell phone service at Bing Concert Hall, especially in the auditorium. Medical professionals and others who may need to be reached during a concert should contact the Patron Services desk.

Food and beverages

No food is allowed inside the seating area of indoor venues. Beverages from Interlude Cafe in pre-approved cups may be permitted inside the hall; please ask your server or usher for details.

Dining options


Smoking

Smoking is not permitted inside any of the venues.


Ticket donation requests

Due to the large volume of requests and the limited capacity of Bing Concert Hall, Stanford Live can only currently consider ticket donation requests from Stanford-affiliated organizations. Please submit only one donation request on behalf of your organization by mail or email only; no phone requests, please. Requests must be received at least one month in advance of your response deadline. Organizations may only receive ticket donations once per year.

If you are a Stanford-affiliated organization and would like to request a ticket donation, email stanfordlive@stanford.edu or mail your request to:

The Bing Concert Hall Ticket Office will not replace tickets purchased through eBay, Craigslist, StubHub, or any other secondary market. Tickets that are not purchased through official Stanford University ticket offices are purchased at your own risk. Please be advised that Stanford Live cannot guarantee the authenticity of tickets obtained through any other source. Admission is not guaranteed if tickets are not valid.
