Priority Seating

Wharton Center’s subscribers are seated on a ticket priority system involving both donation level and consecutive years of subscription history. All Circle Members are part of that priority seating affording you the opportunity to purchase the best seats in the house prior to the general public.

Renewable Seats are available to donors who make a one-time gift of $50,000 or more to one of the Center’s endowment funds, donors are entitled to the right-of-first-refusal to four seats of their choice (based on availability) for their personal subscription order during their lifetime. These seats are for personal use only and cannot be transferred to anyone else.


Series tickets go on sale to the general public after the above priorities are seated. To learn more about Circle Club membership view our Individual Giving page.
