We have two types of ticketing fees that go directly to supporting the work of our ticket-office staff:
Ticketing fees are non-refundable.
It’s a shame when life gets in the way of great art, but we understand that plans change. We offer both ticket exchange and donation options. Exchanges for another event in the current season, or donation requests, must be received by 5 p.m. the business day before your event.
Submit this form to exchange or donate tickets.
Exchanges are fee-free. Exchanging into a higher-priced performance or seating area may result in a price difference. We are not able to offer a refund for exchanging into a lower-priced event or seating area.
Mondavi Center subscribers may choose to return tickets for an event credit that may be used to purchase Mondavi Center Presents performances within the 22-23 season. All event credit will expire on June 30, 2023. After this date, any unused event credits become a donation to the Mondavi Center.
Tickets are nonrefundable, except in the case of a canceled event; all sales are final. Tickets for past or missed performances may not be exchanged or donated. Live performance is dynamic: all programs and prices are subject to change.
The Mondavi Center Ticket Office will reissue tickets to the account holder. Contact the Ticket Office via phone: 530-754-2787 or email: tickets@ucdavis.edu to replace your tickets as soon as possible. The Mondavi Center does not replace tickets purchased through secondary markets.
If a performance is canceled, you will have the option to receive a full refund or an event credit toward another Mondavi Center event within the same season. Refunds are granted only for canceled performances. Handling fees are non-refundable.
All held event credit and credits obtained in the 2022-23 season may be used towards the purchase of Mondavi Center Presents performances within the 22-23 season. All accumulated event credit will expire on June 30, 2023. After this date, any unused event credits will become a donation to the Mondavi Center.
