Secure My Booking Ticket Insurance Availability
This optional coverage became available starting January 2026. Tickets purchased before this date were not eligible for insurance, and standard refund/exchange policies apply.

If a show is canceled for any reason, the Appell Center will contact you using the email address or phone number on your account with details about whether the performance will be rescheduled or if refunds will be issued. Please keep your tickets until options are announced. Any refunds will be processed automatically to the original payment method.
