WHARTON CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS
VOLUME XXII • ISSUE 12
MAY 26 -31, 2015
A MESSAGE FROM MIKE...
WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BUY TICKETS
FROM “THE OFFICIAL SOURCE”
Have you ever purchased tickets to an event at Wharton Center, and when you
received them you found that you paid far above the price printed on the tickets
– sometimes three and four times the value? You may have purchased your
tickets from a fraudulent website! With so many high-profile and popular events
coming to Wharton Center, we have found more and more patrons are being
exploited by unscrupulous ticket resellers. Oftentimes our tickets are being
marketed on secondary ticket sites before the operators of those sites have even
purchased tickets – and they are being sold at prices far above the price you will
pay through our site – THE OFFICIAL SOURCE: whartoncenter.com.
If you or your friends purchase tickets from another source, you:
1) Might pay too much for your tickets.
2)May have paid for invalid tickets.
3)May not be able to get help from Wharton Center’s ticketing staff
if you have a problem, because there will be no in-house record of your
transaction. We also cannot contact you if there is a change of
performance time, to pass along traffic notices, or to provide any other
special information.
Here are a few recommendations to avoid being ensnared by unscrupulous
ticket resellers:
- Bookmark our website, www.whartoncenter.com, for ticket and show
information.
- Sign up for our eClub on our website to receive information directly from
Wharton Center.
- Fraudulent websites may use our name, use a version or part of our name,
or a misspelling of Wharton Center in their web address, so it is important
to note our actual site name.
- Be aware that we do NOT partner with any secondary ticketing company
or reseller. If you see our tickets onsale on these resale sites, please
check our site, www.whartoncenter.com, FIRST, or give us a call. You will
frequently find tickets for sale (usually at a lower price) directly from us.
- Some sites will advertise our tickets for sale before we have put them onsale
to the public. Be aware that these vendors have not purchased the
tickets they are marketing... and you may pay an inflated price for
premium seat locations and receive tickets that are very different than
what you think you paid for.
- Beware of any seller who sends you a debit card to pick up tickets at Will
Call – this is the sign of an unscrupulous sale. The tickets you pick up at
Will Call with that debit card are likely to be at a much lower value than
you paid.
We urge you to protect yourself by purchasing directly from the official
source for Wharton Center tickets – buy your tickets at our windows, at
whartoncenter.com or by phone at 1-800-WHARTON (1-800-942-7866).

Endowments provide a foundation of stability and support. Gifts to endowments are made with the understanding
that the principal is continually preserved and the total amount of the gift is invested. Each year, only a portion of
the interest earned is spent while the remainder reverts to principal. In this respect, an endowment is a perpetual gift.
Wharton Center gratefully acknowledges those individuals/organizations that have funded
named endowments through gifts of cash or their estate plans.
