Student Matinees FAQ

How is my rate determined?

The dollar rate per student is determined by your school’s most recent low-income data as listed on the Washington State Report Card on the OSPI website. If you have questions about further financial assistance, please contact our Education Department.

Chaperones are $8 each. However, you get one of your chaperones in for free for every ten students in your reservation.

What is the payment procedure?

You will receive an invoice for your reservation within 72 hours of submitting your booking form.

Payment is due 30 days prior to your Student Matinee performance. If full payment is not received by the deadline, your reservation will be released to accommodate waitlisted schools and your school will still be required to pay a cancellation fee of 40% your initial invoice amount. If you anticipate challenges submitting payment before this deadline, please email tickets@seattlerep.org before the due date.

All sales and payments are final. Seattle Rep does not provide refunds or exchanges for unused tickets.

Failure to pay on time, late cancellations, or no-shows for more than one performance may affect my ability to make future Student Matinee reservations.

What if I need to change or cancel my reservation?

Your school can reduce your seat numbers prior to your payment due date and can reduce your seat numbers by up to 60% of your initial request (your final payment due will be adjusted accordingly). You may add additional tickets at any point, subject to availability.

If you need to lower your seat numbers by over 60% of your initial request, your payment due cannot be reduced below 40% your initial invoice amount.

If you need to cancel at any point, you or your school are still required to pay 40% of your initial invoice amount. Your school will not be able to book new Student Matinee reservations if you have outstanding payments.

What if my requested performance is full?

If we find your desired Student Matinee performance is full after reviewing your booking form, we will email back to let you know.

If you want to get into a performance by reducing your group size or attending a different date, we can alter your booking request and commit you to a reservation with those modifications in mind. Your initial invoice will follow shortly.

If you would rather be put on the waitlist for the full performance, we can let you know if we see an opening to accommodate your requested numbers.  We will call and email your contact info provided if we find the space. Out of fairness to schools further down the waitlist, please give our Box Office a callback, voicemail, or email response within two business days to take advantage of the opening. If you wish to bring your school at that point, we will commit you to a reservation and send your initial invoice.

Can I transfer my reservation to another Student Matinee performance?

We can move your reservation to another Student Matinee in the same season. However, in the event of a cancellation or group size reduction, your minimum payment liability would be 40% of your original performance reservation plus 40% of the reservation for your new date.

Do in-school residencies cost anything?

Yes, Seattle Rep in-school residencies cost $250 per class. Contact Seattle Rep Education for more information or financial assistance.
