Arrival Time and Late Seating
Out of courtesy for all patrons, we highly suggest arriving early to events in order to avoid being seated late. The doors of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center are generally open at least one hour before the event and individual venues generally open 30 minutes prior to the start of a performance.
To be seated per your ticket, you must arrive on time. Once a venue closes for a performance to begin, no latecomers will be admitted until an appropriate break occurs, as designated by the artist/performer. Late seating entry varies with each performance and may be significant—or even impossible. If you are seated late, you will be directed to an easily accessible seat in the rear of the venue until intermission. At intermission, you will be allowed to move to your original, ticketed seat.
We encourage you to allow extra time for arrival, parking and walking during inclement weather and some University of Notre Dame varsity sporting events, especially on home football game Fridays and Saturdays. Please see
www.und.com for all Notre Dame sport season schedules.
