A subscription is the best way to purchase multiple tickets, get the best price, and so much more! Visit our subscriptions page here for more information.

One of the benefits of being a subscriber is that you receive first pick on the best seat for the best price for the entire season. The HSO patron services team will work with you to find your perfect seat without taking someone else’s.

Please note: Seating priority is determined by subscription history and is filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Subscribing early ensures access to the best available seats. As subscriptions are purchased past the start of the season, seating may become more limited. To ensure the best seat throughout the season, your seat location may change based on availability.

For all HSO Subscriptions, you will receive your tickets 2 weeks prior to the first performance with the delivery method selected at checkout.

If you selected “Email” as your delivery method, they sometimes end up in the Junk Mail section of your inbox. We recommend checking there before reaching out to the box office.
