Disclaimer

University of Dubuque Heritage Center website (www.dbq.edu/HeritageCenter), and the Farber Box Office (Phone: 563.585.7469 and physical location: 2255 Bennett Street Dubuque, IA), are the only official sources for tickets to shows and events at this venue. We highly recommend that guests purchase only from official sources for the best seats, service, and prices. Tickets from unauthorized sources risk being counterfeit, stolen, or invalid.

We are committed to creating a safe and enjoyable entertainment experience and use barcode scanning to ensure all tickets are valid for entry. Admission with tickets from unauthorized sources may be refused. Heritage Center cannot honor, refund, or exchange tickets not purchased from official sources. To protect our customers privacy, we cannot provide any information regarding ticket purchases to a party other than the cardholder on the original order.

When tickets are purchased from unofficial sources:

  • You may pay more than face value.
  • We cannot guarantee that your tickets are valid and cannot guarantee admittance. Duplicate, screenshots or copies of tickets, counterfeit or otherwise altered tickets, will not be honored for admission to any performance.
  • We cannot contact you regarding show cancellations, time changes, road closures, traffic updates, upcoming shows, or other helpful information.
  • We reserve the right to revoke tickets sold to a broker or unauthorized third party. If you hold a revoked ticket, you will not be admitted or receive a refund.

Many unauthorized ticket sellers use website names like ours to make you feel like you are purchasing from an authorized vendor. However, these websites are not authorized to sell event tickets in our venues.

A "Speculative Listing" or "Speculative Ticket" is a practice where resellers list tickets for sale even though they do not possess them. They are betting (or speculating) that they will be able to get tickets and then resell them. Resellers who claim to have tickets before they go on sale do not have authentic tickets in hand (meaning they do not have tickets to sell).

House Policies

  • For all events occurring in Heritage Center performance facilities, doors open for seating 30 minutes prior to curtain.
  • Latecomers will be seated at management's discretion or at a suitable pause in the performance. Reserved seating selection is not guaranteed for those who arrive after a performance begins.
  • All food and drink, including water, is prohibited in performance facilities.

  • In most cases, photography or recording is prohibited, and cell phones should not be used during performances.

  • Heritage Center events are only cancelled if performers are unable to perform. No refunds will be issued to audience members who are unable to attend a scheduled performance.
  • Patrons with special needs should notify the box office at the time of ticket purchases. Handicapped parking, wheelchair seating, hearing assist devices, and other special services will be provided as available and on a "best effort" basis. Sign language interpretation requests will be fulfilled pending sufficient advance notice and availability of interpreters.
  • Please note that seats on the left-hand side of the theater are odd numbers (i.e. seats 1 and 3 are adjacent to one another) and seats on the right-hand side of the theater are even numbers (i.e. seats 2 and 4 are adjacent to one another).
  • Heritage Center welcomes children who are accompanied by an adult and who are able to sit quietly for the duration of the concert. All children are required to have a ticket and to occupy their own seat. For certain performances, lap seats are available for a discounted price for children 3 and under.
