Exchanges must be completed at least 24 hours in advance of the show you are exchanging out of. Exchanges are “ticket for ticket,” ie. the number of old tickets must match the number of new tickets. Any increase in price must be paid at the time of exchange. No refunds will be made for exchanging into a lower priced ticket.
There is a $5.00 per ticket fee for exchanges. This fee is waived for ESO subscribers and members.
ESO tickets may also be donated in exchange for a tax receipt. Ticket donations must be completed at least 24 hours in advance of the show. There is no fee for this service.

Ticket Resale Policy
The Edmonton Symphony / Winspear has zero tolerance for scalping and insists that all patrons of our service abide by our policy stated herein. Tickets made available through this site are intended only for those who are actually planning on attending the shows requested. It is strictly prohibited to resell any tickets obtained through our Box Office or Winspear website for more than the purchase price. If you are found to be reselling, trading or brokering tickets that you purchased through our site for profit, the ESO / Winspear may, at our discretion, cancel your ticket order and all other pending orders in your name. If you are unable to use your Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (ESO) tickets, they may be exchangeable for another ESO performance up to 24 in hours in advance of the performance.

Acessibility Concerns and Wheelchair Seating
Information about accessibility at the Winspear Centre can be found by clicking here.
Wheelchair seats are marked by a wheelchair icon online and are also available by contacting our Box Office. These seats can also be used by individuals who have other accessibility needs. A chair will be provided, or removed if you use a wheelchair. Those with accessibility needs may purchase one additional ticket in the accessible seating area for someone attending with them. Due to limited availability, we ask that any additional members of your party attending with you sit nearby outside of the wheelchair accessible area.
If you have any questions about the ideal seating for your needs, please contact our Box Office at 780.428.1414 or box.office@winspearcentre.com.
Child & Youth Tickets
Please see the page for the event you wish to attend for more information on its child policy. For most events, ages 8 and up are recommended and children 3 years of age and under will not be admitted. However, events appropriate for children have been marked and young children may be admitted.
Where stated on the event page, children 18 months and younger may be issued a complimentary “babes in arms” ticket. This ticket can be picked up from the Box Office on your way into the event. All other children must have a paid ticket.
