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. Your tickets will be delivered digitally to wallet.PNB.org, where you will be able to log in using the same PNB login credentials you used to purchase your tickets. When you are logged into your PNB Wallet, you can view your mobile tickets and share them with a friend. Closer to your performance, you will also receive a reminder email with the same link to help you access your PNB Wallet. Learn more about mobile tickets here.
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.”

Subscribers can keep their seats for a lifetime, so the PNB Box Office must wait until current subscribers have had the opportunity to renew before processing change requests or new subscriptions. After the renewal deadline has passed, unrenewed seats are released and opened for sale, leaving us with an accurate picture of seat availability. Only then do we start fulfilling seat change requests from renewing subscribers, followed by seat assignments for new subscribers.
Because the Box Office processes ticket requests in the order we receive them, you are more likely to receive your desired seats by placing your order as soon as possible. Remember: subscriptions are fully refundable until your first performance, so there is no risk in placing a request!
Mobile tickets will be available in August. Physical tickets will be mailed by September.
Check your receipt to see if you requested your ticket to be mailed, or if you requested mobile tickets.
If you requested mobile tickets, they will be delivered to your PNB Wallet in August. Use your PNB log-in at wallet.pnb.org to access your tickets.
If you lost physical tickets, contact the PNB Box Office at 206-441-2424 or tickets@pnb.org, and they will happily assist you. The Box Office can mail you new subscription tickets or have them held at will call for you to pick up.
Please note: once a new set of subscription tickets has been requested, your original tickets will be invalid. Save yourself confusion and discard your old tickets immediately!

If you have questions about your subscription, we recommend visiting or calling the PNB Box Office during regular hours.
The earlier the better! Here’s why:

No matter what, be sure to renew before the renewal deadline in May to keep your subscription seats!

Remember: if your desired seats are unavailable, you can always keep your original subscription seats.
