UH Hilo Performing Arts Center Seating Chart

All seats are reserved for the Season. Many events sell out in advance. Please note that shows start promptly at the advertised time. All patrons should be seated prior to the advertised start time.

Late Seating

Late Seating is not guaranteed. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the house staff at an appropriate interval in the program as designated by the artist.

No Ticket Refunds - All Sales Are Final

Ticket orders are non-refundable unless an event is cancelled. Due to the nature of the performing arts, programs are subject to change without notice. Information on our website, and paid advertising in the local newspapers and radio stations are updated regularly. We are not responsible for errors in the community calendars and articles that are published by the local media. Please contact the Box Office to verify any information that you see in a calendar or article before purchase. The UH Hilo Performing Arts Center is not responsible for necessary changes in the events announced.
