- Buy only from Anchorage Concert Association or the CenterTix box office, the only authorized sellers, so you don't get scammed by resellers.
- If you'd rather not sit next to drinkers, pick seats marked with an exclamation mark on the seat map, since those are alcohol-free.
- Use the coat check in the lobby so you don't have to hold a heavy winter coat through the show.
- Request sign language interpretation or other help at least three weeks before the show so CenterTix can arrange it.
