Centralized arts ticketing system has new phone number

The Wisconsin Union Theater and Vilas Hall box offices announce a new centralized Campus Arts Ticketing system and phone number.

The new number, 265-ARTS (2787), will allow patrons to order tickets for any UW–Madison arts event.

Representatives from the two box offices began collaboration in 2005 to develop an efficient ticketing process to better serve the needs of arts patrons. Last fall, the representatives selected an electronic ticketing system that allows performance-goers to purchase tickets for arts events at either office and online. Now, the central campus arts phone number will further streamline the ticketing process.

Patrons now have three centralized ways to order tickets to campus arts events: online at http://www.uniontheater.wisc.edu, http://www.utmadison.com or http://www.arts.wisc.edu; by stopping at the Vilas Hall box office or the Union Theater Box Office; or by using the centralized phone number, 265-ARTS.

The switch to the centralized phone number will not immediately affect patrons who currently use the separate Vilas and Union box office numbers; calls from these numbers will be forwarded to the centralized number for one year.
