Call us! Subscribers should call the Box Office at 206.441.2424 to arrange an exchange. Tickets can be freely moved to any future performance within a season for seats in the same price zone. Subscribers will be charged the difference for seating upgrades or price differentials and downgrades will not be reimbursed.
No, unfortunately you have to call or visit in person to make an exchange. Our website ticketing software doesn’t allow for online exchanges.
Please exchange your tickets prior to the start of the performance you are missing. This allows PNB to make your seats available to another audience member and for us to issue you a donation receipt. Tickets that are not exchanged prior to the start of the performance are not applicable for exchanges.
McCaw Hall Box Office
The McCaw Hall box office opens 90-minutes prior to the start of every performance and remains open for at least 20 minutes after the performance starts. We are also open during the first intermission of subscription performances and are not open during intermission for The Nutcracker®.
We are happy to help with transactions for future performances until 30-minutes prior to the start of the performance. At 30-minutes prior to curtain, staff needs to prioritize transactions related to the performance at hand. Future transactions are always available during intermission.
PNB is not affiliated with any other organizations or events performing at McCaw Hall. For ticketing information on other events please visit https://www.mccawhall.com/events.
Audience members who have misplaced their tickets can ask for replacement copies printed by going to the Customer Service or Reprint windows at the McCaw Hall Box Office.
PNB discourages audience members purchasing tickets through third-party ticket reselling sites. Customers that purchase through ticket brokers often pay inflated prices. Orders placed by known or suspected ticket resellers are subject to cancellation. Purchasing directly through PNB at PNB.org or 206.441.2424 is advised. If you feel you have been a victim of fraud, we encourage you to contact the Washington Attorney General Consumer Protection Division at 206.464.6684.
Mobile tickets are a safe and secure way to access tickets to your upcoming performances at Pacific Northwest Ballet from your mobile device.

When you are logged into your PNB Wallet, you can view your mobile tickets and share them with a friend.

Parking Vouchers
PNB parking vouchers are valid at the Mercer Street Garage located across the street from McCaw Hall at 305 3rd Avenue North.
Parking vouchers must be collected by attendants that are staffed at the garage entrances starting approximately two-hours prior to a scheduled performance.
Subscribers do not have to exchange their parking vouchers if they have exchanged their performance tickets. However, the attendants in the garage must physically collect subscribers’ parking vouchers. If you have misplaced your voucher, we can mail a replacement if given at least one week’s notice. Additionally, vouchers can be placed in will-call for pick up before parking.
If you are a single ticket holder who is looking to exchange your parking pass, you can do so by first canceling your existing pass. Once your existing parking pass is canceled, a refund will be processed. In the meantime, you can then purchase a parking pass for your correct performance date. Parking passes can be canceled in one of two ways…
1) The customer can locate their ParkWhiz confirmation email and click the “cancel” link.
2) The customer can log in to their account on the ParkWhiz website or app, view passes, and click “cancel.”
