Subscription Applications

What does auto-renewal mean?

By purchasing a 26-27 Broadway subscription package, you are enrolling in our automatic renewal program. For the 27-28 season and each future season, your subscription and payment method will renew automatically unless you opt out or cancel by the published renewal deadline. With auto-renewal, you won’t have to worry about getting your order form in every new season.

I am a donor, when do I need to make my annual donation?

Access to your Broadway renewable seats is tied to an annual renewal of your circle gift at the same level. You will receive a reminder from Wharton Center when it is time to renew your annual gift.

You can also renew your gift online when purchasing your subscription, over the phone with the ticket office, or online at Online Giving.

Please call Wharton Center’s Development Office at (517) 353-4640 with any questions.

What are priority levels?

Wharton Center’s subscribers are seated on a priority system involving both donation level and consecutive years of subscription ticket history.

Season tickets go on sale to the general public after all priorities are seated.
