Why do you charge ticket fees?

Ticket sales cover only about half the cost of producing and presenting over 100 world-class performances each year at Spoleto Festival USA.

 

A $9.00 processing fee is applied to each ticket to help offset the costs associated with ticket sales, including:

  • Wages for Box Office staff

  • Credit card fees and security

  • Maintenance and replacement of Box Office equipment, such as ticket printers

  • Licensing fees for our ticketing software

     

Every ticket, whether purchased in person, over the phone, or online, is processed by a Spoleto Festival USA Box Office staff member. Because of this, processing fees are applied to in-person purchases as well. Processing fees are waived for Chamber Subscribers.

 

 

For performances at certain venues, a per-ticket facility surcharge may apply as required by venue rental agreements. This surcharge cannot be waived and the amount is set by the venue.

 

 

A $5.00 per order printing fee is applied to all orders requesting printed tickets, whether they are mailed or held at Will Call.
