  • Health & Safety: As we return to theaters and live events, the well-being of our students, patrons, artists, staff members and community is paramount. Protocols for attending in-person events will be developed in conjunction with evolving state, local and university health guidelines, and we appreciate your flexibility as these are updated over the course of the season. Visit www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu/SeasonFAQs for the latest information about protocols.

  • At-home Options: Last season, virtual events were an essential way to stay connected. Going forward, we envision at-home viewing options as a complement to – but not a replacement for – the in-person experience. To that end, many 2021-2022 events will include a live streaming alternative (available with regular ticket purchase).

  • Returns & Exchanges: With changing public health guidelines, we want to make buying tickets as easy as possible and provide you with the certainty that your investment in Arts & Lectures is one we take seriously. We’ll continue to offer flexible ticket returns and exchanges for the 2021-2022 season. (See page 71of the season brochure  for details.)
