IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR OUR PATRONS:
More and more of our patrons are being exploited by unscrupulous ticket resellers.
Oftentimes our tickets are being marketed on secondary ticket sites before the
operator of the site has even purchased tickets – and they are being sold at prices
far above the price you will pay by purchasing your tickets through Wharton Center.
If you purchase tickets from another source, you might pay too much for your
tickets, or may even pay for invalid tickets. You also may not be able to get help
from Wharton Center’s ticketing staff if you have a problem; there will be no inhouse record of your transaction, and we cannot contact you if there is a change of
performance time, traffic notices, or to provide any other special information.
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.
• Note our actual site name. Fraudulent websites may use a version or part
of our name, or a misspelling of Wharton Center in their web address.
• Download the Wharton Center app on your smart phone.
We urge you to protect yourself by purchasing directly from the Official Authorized
Source for Wharton Center tickets – buy your tickets at www.whartoncenter.com;
by phone at 1-800-WHARTON (1-800-942-7866); or at the Auto-Owners Insurance
Ticket Office at Wharton Center.
If you think you have been duped by a fraudulent ticket reseller, you can file a
Consumer Complaint Form with the Michigan Attorney General’s Office. Forms are
located at: https://secure.ag.state.mi.us/complaints/consumer.aspx

A Note from Berry Gordy
At Motown, we called ourselves a family and we were—a big family. While it is impossible to
list here the many people who helped Motown with their love and passion, I personally want to
thank them all. Their dedication and talent contributed to our success, as well as helped to inspire
me to bring our story to Broadway.
Motown was a dream that happened to come true, and it’s all because of you. Thank you.
Berry Gordy
Founder, Motown

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.
