Who needs a ticket?

Everyone attending an event at Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre, regardless of age, must have a ticket to gain admission.

Where can you purchase tickets?

Purchase guaranteed tickets safely and securely through VPAT.net or by calling (707) 469-4013. VPAT.showare.com and the Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre Box Office are the only authorized sellers of tickets for productions at the Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre. We do not honor tickets purchased from third party or re-sale sites. If you do purchase tickets through these sites, they are typically fraudulent and we cannot guarantee to have seats available for you to purchase at the door.

A $2.00 or $3.00, depending on ticket price, Theatre Enhancement and Preservation Fee is added to every ticket sold. An Internet Ticketing Fee of $5.00 is added to tickets purchased online.

What method of payment do you accept?

We accept checks, cash, and credit cards, including Visa and MasterCard. All ticket sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges.

Where do I park?

Parking is free and ample in front of the Vacaville Cultural Center.

How far away are the seats from the stage?

All seats are located within 55 feet from the stage.

What time do the doors open?

The doors to the Lobby open one hour before every performance. Theatre seating usually begins within 5 to 10 minutes. If a patron has a special reason to be seated before the Theatre seating begins, please arrive early and let us know upon your arrival.

Will there be an intermission and an opportunity to purchase beverages and snacks?

Some of our performances have intermissions, and some do not. This is the choice of the artist. We do have a concession which offers water, soft drinks and light snacks. However, food and beverages are not permitted in the seating area. The one exception is plastic bottled water.

Is it okay to take photographs at a concert?

Bringing cameras to concerts in an intimate theatre such as Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre is generally discouraged. It is very rare that performers allow members of the audience to take photographs – and never video. If you choose to bring a camera, be prepared to honor any stated requests regarding photography made just before the performance begins.

Does Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre have assigned seating?

There are two types of seating at Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre, Reserved and General Admission. The artist or performing group chooses which type of seating preferred. You will be advised of the seating type at the time of your ticket purchase.

Can you stand or dance?

Many of our shows, concerts, and performances are high-energy. Standing or dancing is likely and often encouraged by the artist. Audience members may stand or dance at their ticketed seats. All audience members, whether seated, standing or dancing, are expected to be respectful of the guests around them. Under no circumstance will patrons be allowed to block the exits or aisles. Standing at the front of the stage is prohibited. The last five rows afford the best visibility for those who wish to remain seated.

What if I have an issue with my seats on show night?

If you are unhappy with your seats or experience on the night, please inform venue staff immediately as many quickly remedied issues cannot be resolved after the event. 

Do you have wheelchair seating available?

Yes. It is important, however, to request wheelchair or ambulatory seating when purchasing tickets.

Is there a special entrance for mobility devices?

No. Please come directly to the main Lobby entrance.
