Ticket Pricing + Policies

Velocity offers both season subscriptions, and individual tickets to all spring, summer, and fall performances and events. The majority of our event and performance tickets are sold at sliding scale tiered pricing described below. We invite you to self-select the tier that best fits your situation and needs. This pricing structure allows us to keep our programs accessible and sustainable. 

This structure is inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk’s green bottle pricing structure. Click here to learn more.

CHAMPION 

This tier represents the true cost of a ticket to our performances. This tier is for if you are secure in your finances, own your home and car, and can generally purchase your “wants” while regularly meeting all of your basic needs. By selecting this price, you are investing in our community, and affirming the value of live performance and dance.

SUPPORTER

This tier is our “general” ticket price, and it is partially subsidized to increase access to our performances. Choose this level if you have access to steady income and generally have some expendable income after meeting your basic needs. This price sustains our work.

ARTIST

This is a subscription-only tier. Velocity centers the needs of movement-based artists in Seattle, and this subscription represents our commitment to affordable access to our performances for artists. This subscription is a way for artists to commit to the practice of seeing work, and a way for artists to support Velocity.

LOW INCOME

This tier is our most accessible ticket price, especially when purchased as a subscription. Choose this level if you often struggle to meet your basic needs, are under or unemployed, and have low- to no savings.

VOLUNTEER

If you would like to get connected to Velocity staff and artists, we also offer the option to volunteer for the show in exchange for a free ticket. Please contact operations@velocitydancecenter.org, or keep an eye out on our instagram for volunteer calls.

TICKETING POLICIES

Artists, programs, casts, dates and prices are subject to change. There are no refunds. Please contact operations@velocitydancecenter.com for all ticket-related questions.

TICKET EXCHANGES

Ticket exchanges may be processed at no charge for a different date of the same production, or in some cases to a different production. Select events or promotions may not be eligible for exchange. To exchange tickets, please contact the Box Office at least 24 hours before the original performance date. Please note that all exchanges are subject to availability.

LATE SEATING + TICKET RELEASES

Any tickets that are not claimed at the scheduled start time of the show will be released to the wait list. Late seating is dependent on the show.

WAITING LIST

In the event of a sold-out performance, we will take a waiting list when the box office opens 1 hour prior to show time. Names may be placed on the list in person. Available seats will be called no more than 15 minutes prior to curtain.

CANCELLATIONS

If Velocity cancels a performance, we will provide ticket-holders with the option to refund or exchange your tickets.
