The Flexpass option allows patrons to choose their own subscription package. We reserve a portion of the house for our flexpass holders, who may show up on the night of the concert, but we especially love when they reserve at least a day in advance. This allows us to reserve preferred seats ahead of time. Benefits include:
- Excellent seats
- Flexibility in number of tickets, dates, and venues
- No need to exchange tickets
- Call in advance to reserve seats, or just show up on the night of the concert
- 1 bonus admission per Flexpass
We recommend the Flexpass for patrons who attend concerts with different numbers of guests each time or don’t know in advance which concerts they will attend, but want the priority of subscribing. are available in both the A Seating section and the B Seating section. Call 415.357.1111, ext. 4 or click here to renew or purchase your Flexpass now!

If you have lost tickets, the box office keeps track of each ticket sold. You may call ahead to have tickets re-printed, or we can write a seating check on the evening of the performance, which works just like a ticket.
