 CHILDREN
We ask parents not to bring infants and very young
children (under age 6) to performances unless the
performances are specifically programmed for them.
All children, regardless of age, must be ticketed.
PARKING
There are two parking areas for the Ford Center for
the Performing Arts. One is beside and north of the
center; additional parking is available in lots across
University Avenue to the south of the facility.
ARRIVAL TIME/LATE SEATING POLICY
Please arrive early out of respect for the performers
and other members of the audience. The outside
lobby doors will open at least one hour prior to
curtain. Doors to the theater will open approximately
30 minutes before curtain time. Latecomers
will be asked to wait in the lobby and will
be admitted to the theater by an usher during an
appropriate pause in the performance.
REFUNDS
There are no refunds unless a performance is cancelled.
In the event of a cancellation, a different
program may be substituted for the cancelled
event, or you may request a refund.
ELECTRONIC COURTESY
Cameras and recording devices of any type are not
permitted in the Ford Center for the Performing
Arts. Violators are subject to removal. Please
remember to turn off all noise-producing pagers,
electronic watch alarms and cellular phones before
entering the theater.
LOST TICKETS
We do not want you to miss a performance, so
please contact the UM Box Office at 662-915-
7411 if you cannot find your ticket(s).
 WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE
ENTRANCE
Two entrances to the Ford Center
are wheelchair-accessible. One is on
the third level (mezzanine level)
from University Avenue, but the preferred
entrance is into the main lobby on the first floor
(orchestra level), located on the east side of the
building. Both of these entrances have handicapaccessible
doors.
ACCESSIBLE PARKING
Designated parking spaces are located just north
(to the right) of the orchestra-level entrance.
SEATING
The box office staff is happy to assist you in selecting
seating that best meets your needs. Wheelchair
space is available in the orchestra, mezzanine and
balcony locations.
Patrons who do not wish to transfer from
their wheelchairs to a theater seat should request
wheelchair seating locations when ordering tickets.
If traveling with someone, please submit your
ticket requests at the same time and designate him
or her as your partner. Staff and volunteers cannot
assist patrons in transferring to theater seats.
