FAQs

EVENTS & TICKETING

Where do I purchase tickets online?

Tickets may be purchased online through our primary ticket seller MetroTix.com. Look for the on sale date posted on a show's information page on fabulousfox.com. After a show goes on sale, there will be a FIND TICKETS button near the top of the show page which will connect to the official purchase page.

Secondary ticket sellers may be promoting tickets for sale prior to our show on sale dates. We encourage you to wait until the official on sale date for any show so you can see the actual price and seat availability.

If you are ever in doubt about an ad or message you have seen, please come here to www.FabulousFox.com for clarification about a show’s on-sale status and ticket prices.  

When do tickets go on sale?

We often announce shows and post them on this web site before an on-sale date has been determined. As soon as the on-sale date is announced, it will be posted on the show’s information page. Broadway shows generally go on sale in the fall after the sale of the full Broadway series ticket package, and extended-run shows generally go on sale twelve to sixteen weeks before the performance dates. On-sale dates for concerts vary.

My child is [insert age here]. Does he/she need a ticket?

All patrons, regardless of age must have a ticket for admittance unless otherwise specified in the event description. We strongly recommend children attending events be at least 5 years of age, unless the shows are designated as toddler friendly. Some shows contain mature content, language or themes. See the individual show pages for the content advisories. Please note, in order to assure the best possible experience for all patrons, anyone making a disturbance during a show will be asked to leave – no matter what their age.

I got my tickets, and my seats aren’t together. Why not?

The Fabulous Fox seating is numbered with the odd-numbered seats on the left side of the house, and the even-numbered seats on the right side of the house. Here is a breakdown of the theatre seat numbers:

All sections are numbered with the lowest number nearest the center.

ON THE ORCHESTRA LEVEL: 
The center sections (3 and 4) are three digit numbers beginning at 101 or 102. They number outward from the center aisle (101-127 and 102-128). 
Sections 2 and 5 begin again with one and two digit numbers beginning at 1 or 2. They number outward and continue across the aisles to sections 1 and 6. Not all rows end with the same seat numbers, however. Row M, for instance, numbers 1 through 25 in section 2, and then 29-43 in section 1. Row AA numbers 1-27 in section 2, and then 29-49 in section 1.

The orchestra pit, when available, has rows 1 through 5 or 6 (depending on the show), and numbers in the same manner as the center sections (three digit numbers), continuing with three digit numbers across the aisles to sections 2 and 5 of the pit.

IN THE BALCONY: 
The lower balcony, middle balcony and upper balcony all number in the same manner as the orchestra sections. 
The Mezzanine is a bit different, as it has seven sections instead of six. Sections 3, 2 and 1 are numbered with one and two digit numbers, from 1 outward. Sections 5, 6 and 7 are numbered in the same manner, but with even numbers, beginning on seat number 2. Mezzanine section 4 numbers from right to left (as you face the stage) with three digit numbers, from 101 through 114, using both odd and even numbers.

The Fabulous Fox  and MetroTix do not guarantee the authenticity of tickets purchased from any third party reseller (such as brokers or individuals), and cannot reissue lost or stolen tickets that were procured by any unofficial source. Third party resellers may set their own pricing above face value. If you feel you were misled by the company you purchased your tickets from, we encourage you to contact that company directly and/or to dispute the charge with your credit card company.

Are cameras allowed in the theatre?

Personal photography of the stage, actors, scenery or any part of a Broadway production is not allowed before, during or after the performance. Personal photography of a concert or other event may be allowed IF the show or artist permits it.

For events allowing cameras into the theatre, Fabulous Fox policy is as follows: only non-professional, point-and-shoot type cameras will be allowed. No SLRs or DSLRs, no cameras with detachable lenses, video cameras, or professional quality cameras will be allowed to enter the venue. Cameras not allowed in will need to be returned to the patron’s vehicle prior to entering the building. When allowed, photography taken by patrons is limited to a small number of still pictures taken for personal use only. No video recording is allowed at any time, including video clip recording on personal cameras or phones. Pictures may not be sold or used commercially in any way.

What happens if I arrive late to my show?

The late seating policy is determined on a show-by-show basis as soon as the producers make their own requirements known to us. Generally for Broadway shows, there is a seating hold of anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes once the show begins during which time you will be allowed to: 

  • Stand at the back of the orchestra floor seating in the promenade (if permitted by the show) to watch the stage. 
  • When standing at the back of the orchestra is not allowed (which occurs occasionally when characters make their entrance from the rear) then you will be held in the lobby where monitors of the stage are available for viewing. 
  • If your seating is on the upper levels, you will be taken to the area on that floor where a monitor is available for viewing the stage. 

When a pre-determined point in the show is reached (as set by the producer) you will then be seated. 
To assure that you do not miss anything, please allow enough time to arrive at the theatre and be seated before the performance starts.

May I bring my child's own booster seat?

Outside booster seats are permitted provided they fit in the confines of the theatre seat. The Fabulous Fox does have complimentary booster seats available on a first come, first served basis for every performance at the Guest Services station, located on the south side of the main lobby.

Are animals allowed in the theatre?

Trained service animals are allowed to accompany their owner into the Fabulous Fox. Service animals are defined as an animal that is trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability or impairment. The Fox does not allow other animals into the theatre including emotional support animals. Emotional support animals do not have the training to do specific tasks that assist a person with a disability or impairment.

Do you have ADA services?

Yes! Please visit our ADA information page for a list of accommodations and description of services.
