A non-refundable 10% deposit is required to reserve your seats.
When is final payment due?
Payment is typically due in full 30 days prior to your concert date. Certain restrictions apply.
Do I have to pay for my group in full or can they pay individually?
We do not accept individual payments for group sales.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Groups can pay for tickets by check, American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or Diners Card through our Group Sales office. Cash will also be accepted 30 days prior to the concert at the Box Office.
Can I adjust my reservation order?
Group sales can be adjusted or cancelled up until the final payment is due.
Can my group sit together?
We will try our best to accommodate your group requests, pending ticket availability of the concert.
When can I place my reservation request?
For the 2024–2025 season, group sales requests are available for all events, pending availability. For the 2025–2026 season, early-bird concerts are available beginning February 12. Group reservations for all concerts go on sale April 24, 2025.
How will I receive my tickets?
After payment is complete, your group tickets can either be mailed directly to you or held at the Box Office for pick up. With the addition of timed entry, an increased number of entrances, touchless scanning, and vaccination checks, tickets held at the Box Office diminish the effectiveness of our operations. To reduce pre-concert lobby congestion and to mitigate risk, tickets must be picked up no later than two hours in advance of the event.
Can I receive e-tickets or mobile tickets for my group?
Digital tickets are not available for group purchases.
Is there seating for special needs patrons in my group?
Carnegie Hall has several options for patrons with special access needs. Please include information in your order request so we can accommodate your guests accordingly.
Where can buses or motor coaches drop off / pick up my group?
For groups traveling by bus or motor coach, drop-off and pick-up locations are on the east side of Seventh Avenue between 57th and 58th streets. Please note that buses are not allowed to park in these areas for the duration of an event, and Carnegie Hall is unable to obtain parking permits. Buses are allowed to wait for 20 minutes in zones marked No Parking, No Standing, or No Standing Except Truck Loading and Unloading. Bus drivers may not leave their vehicle during any drop-off or pick-up.
