About Subscriptions
Benefits
Best seats
Enjoy your choice of the best seats in the house. Plus, subscribers get first access to Performing Arts events announced in April, and early access to special events throughout the year.
Discounted ticket prices
Only subscribers get the best prices of the season. Ticket prices often increase once they go on sale to the public; know your great prices are secure as a subscriber.
Same-seat renewal
Know exactly where you’re sitting for every performance, every season. Plus, get the chance to upgrade next season.
Add tickets to your existing package
Season subscribers will have the opportunity to select additional tickets to the Broadway performances of their choice before the season goes on sale to the public.
Flexible ticket exchanges
Can’t make it on a certain night? No problem. You never have to miss a show: complimentary ticket exchanges are available all season long. Exchange tickets from one performance to another for the same show.
If you choose to exchange for a performance with a higher ticket price than what your originally purchased, you will be charged the difference.
Payment plans
Choose to pay in full or in three easy, interest-free installments on March 3, April 3, and May 3.
Local discounts
Use your Subscriber Card at local businesses and restaurants, in addition to Wharton Gifts, all season long.
Why Subscribe?
From the Executive Director
Subscribers lock in the best seats at discounted prices for the best of Broadway—right here in our own backyard. And as a subscriber, your experience becomes even more unforgettable.
Our team of professional and student staff is with you every step of the way. They share your passion for the performing arts and our incredible programming: from the ticket office to our cast of student ushers and volunteers, you’ll be welcomed and cared for, ensuring you feel right at home.
As a subscriber, you have the opportunity to add up to eight tickets for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and Hadestown to your package now, creating even more memories.
Your subscription helps bring world-class artists to East Lansing. Truly, without the loyalty of our subscribers, we couldn’t maintain this level of programming.
We look forward to sharing the magic of theatre with you this season!
