Restoration Fee (per ticket): A Restoration Fee of $2.00 per ticket is included in the advertised ticket prices. The Restoration Fee is imposed on ALL ticket sales, including those made in person at the box office, and help to fund the restoration and ongoing maintenance of the theatre.
Handling and Order Charges (per ticket): A Handling Charge is added to all online and telephone sales.
These funds also help to cover the cost of operating the theatre, including administrative and box office staffing, computer and telephone systems, utilities and supplies. This charge is determined on a show-by-show basis and is proportionate to the average ticket cost of a given show.
Order Charge (per order): An order charge of $2.50 per order is added to all online and telephone sales to cover the cost of mailing materials and postage.
Handling charges are standard in the performing arts industry, but The Hanover Theatre handles all its ticketing independently of any other ticketing company. As a result, our fees tend to be significantly less than those you will find elsewhere, where third-party ticketing companies are utilized. The reduced fees we charge make it possible for us to provide you with personalized customer service and continue to provide you with world-class entertainment including Broadway, Music, and More in one of Forbe's Top 10 Most Livable Cities in the U.S.
