E-Tickets and the Add To Wallet feature offer a streamlined entry experience for SFJAZZ concerts. When selecting the E-Ticket option at checkout, there is no need to await mailed tickets or visit the Will Call desk. Simply navigate to sfjazz.org/mytickets on your mobile device and sign in to your account. Ticket barcodes will be accessible beginning 72 hours prior to the concert. If more than 72 hours remain before the performance, barcodes will not yet be available; however, you may review your upcoming concert details and ticket information at any time. 

When purchasing tickets, please select "E-Ticket" as the delivery method on the Payment page at checkout. Only tickets designated for E-Ticket delivery will be eligible for addition to Apple or Google Wallet. Tickets may be added to your mobile wallet beginning 72 hours before the concert. Prior to that window, ticketing information will be viewable, but barcodes will not be accessible and wallet integration will not be available. 

Tickets added to your wallet prior to a subsequent purchase will not automatically include newly acquired tickets. Additional tickets must be added separately. Please ensure the "E-Ticket" option is selected at checkout, then visit sfjazz.org/mytickets on your mobile device beginning 72 hours before the concert. If all tickets were purchased with E-Ticket delivery, the Add To Wallet option should be available at that time. Should the Add To Wallet option be unavailable within the 72-hour window, the Print Tickets button on the My Tickets page will provide barcode access for entry. 

Once tickets have been added to your mobile wallet, an internet connection is not required. Simply open your mobile wallet, retrieve your ticket(s), and present the barcodes to an usher for scanning. 

If you experience any issues with tickets purchased through SFJAZZ, please visit the Will Call desk with a valid photo ID. A staff member will be able to locate your account and provide appropriate assistance. 

For orders of fewer than 10 tickets to a single event, all passes may be added to your mobile wallet as a single item. For orders of 10 or more tickets to a single event, you will have the option to add them individually. 

Sharing Add To Wallet tickets is possible, but not in all instances. For information about sharing Apple Wallet tickets, click here. For information about sharing Google Wallet tickets, click here. 

If you are gifting tickets, we recommend contacting the Box Office in advance to discuss available options. 

Print-at-Home PDF tickets are being phased out. Tickets already purchased for Summer 2026 events will continue to be honored. For future purchases, we encourage you to select the E-Ticket option at checkout and visit sfjazz.org/mytickets on your mobile device to add tickets to your wallet beginning 72 hours before the concert. This method is designed to provide the best overall ticketing experience. 

To re-add a ticket to your mobile wallet, please visit the My Tickets page on the SFJAZZ website. If the order was placed with E-Ticket delivery and the performance is within 72 hours, tickets can be re-added to your mobile wallet directly from that page. 

We apologize for any inconvenience. As an alternative, please click the Print Tickets button on the My Tickets page to access a barcode for venue entry. If difficulties persist, please visit the Will Call desk with a valid photo ID and a staff member will assist you. 

Changes made to your tickets will not automatically reflect in your mobile wallet. If a ticket is donated or returned, please also remove it manually from your mobile wallet. Doing so will prevent unnecessary notifications from appearing for a voided ticket, as many mobile wallets send automatic reminders for upcoming events. 

Your mobile wallet stores a static copy of your tickets and will not automatically reflect any changes in the event of a rescheduled performance. A mobile wallet ticket functions similarly to a printed ticket — just as a physical ticket does not update when event details change, neither will the digital version. We strongly recommend checking the SFJAZZ website during the week of the show and again shortly before your visit to the Center to confirm all event details. 

If you have official SFJAZZ ticket vouchers for a specific concert, you must exchange them for regular tickets prior to the show. Vouchers should be redeemed in person at the concert venue box office no later than 30 minutes before show time. Vouchers are not redeemable at any other time or location.

SFJAZZ frequently offers free tickets to local radio stations for contests and giveaways. If you won tickets to a specific SFJAZZ concert thru a radio station, you will be contacted by the station and informed about the procedures for claiming your tickets. All radio ticket winners should report to the box office window at the concert venue no later than 45 minutes prior to show time. Your name will be on the SFJAZZ Guest List and you will be required to show a photo ID to pick up tickets. After the deadline, any unclaimed tickets for radio winners will be released for sale.

In accordance with ADA regulations, our concert venues provide specifically designated wheelchair accessible seating that is reserved for those needing such accommodations. For more information on wheelchair seating, call 415.788.7353 or email to [email protected]

Will-Call is the term used when tickets that have been ordered in advance are set to be picked up at the concert. Typically, any order placed within five to seven days of the concert date will not be mailed and will instead be automatically left at “will-call” to be claimed the night of the concert. To claim tickets being held at will-call, bring your photo ID, credit card and confirmation number to the venue. The box office and will-call both open 90 minutes prior to show time. There will be signs in the venue lobby and at the box office directing patrons to the will-call area.

Contact the box office immediately at [email protected] or 415.788.7353. You may be asked for your order number or name and address for verification.

Yes. If you are unable to attend the concert or use all of your tickets, SFJAZZ welcomes donated tickets by mail, fax, or email in advance with 24-hours notice or on the night of the concert at the box office. You may also process donations through the "My Tickets" tab of your SFJAZZ account up to the scheduled start time of the performance. While a refund cannot be given for donated tickets, your purchase is considered a tax-deductible donation to SFJAZZ. You will receive a confirmation letter at the end of the season documenting the total value of your donation for tax purposes. Once your tickets have been donated, they are considered invalid.

Sorry, but no. Tickets are non-refundable.

Yes, SFJAZZ accepts ticket exchanges with 48 hours notice. The fee for a ticket exchange is $25 per transaction (Free for SFJAZZ Members at the Contributor level and above). Ticket exchanges must be completed no later than 48 hours prior to the show. Tickets may either be exchanged for another event or returned for ticket credit to put toward future ticket purchases. Please contact the box office at 415.788.7353 if you need assistance with a ticket exchange. You can initiate a ticket exchange in your SFJAZZ Account by visiting the "My Tickets" tab.

No. SFJAZZ handles ticketing only for SFJAZZ events and our Visiting Presenters.

Yes. In many of our concert venues (Nob Hill Masonic Center, Herbst Theatre, Palace of Fine Arts, Calvin Simmons Theatre, Davies Symphony Hall, War Memorial Opera House), the seating is arranged with single or double-digit even numbered seats on one side of the hall and odd numbered seats on the other. So if your string of seats is consecutive even or odd numbers, all your seats are still together.

To serve the diversity of our community, SFJAZZ has omitted the selection of professional and religious prefixes that may suggest the inclusion of some and not others. Our selection allows the basic salutations and the ability to opt out for those individuals who do not identify with the options provided.

No. For most concerts, SFJAZZ encourages you to buy as many tickets as you like. To deter “scalpers” and ensure that members have access to the most popular concerts, SFJAZZ may occasionally enact a ticket limit for specific shows.

Yes. Your membership is yours to use as you wish. Feel free to buy tickets for family, friends or colleagues. Remember: To qualify for member benefits such as advanced ticket-buying and discounts, you must place and pay for the ticket order under your membership account. The tickets will be given or mailed directly to you. Then you may distribute the tickets to others on your own.

Yes. SFJAZZ members take advantage of their exclusive, members-only ticket sales period to secure the best seats. There are two on-sale periods per year – mid-summer for the San Francisco Jazz Festival and mid-winter for the SFJAZZ Spring Season. Since member tickets go on sale two to three weeks in advance of the general public, members have access to the very best selection of seats. Once public sales begin, then members and non-members have access to the same selection of available seats.

SFJAZZ members can submit online ticket orders as well as purchase tickets by phone, fax and mail free of service charges at any time. All SFJAZZ customers (members and non-members) save money on tickets purchased in person at the SFJAZZ box office – there are no service charges. Tickets purchased day of show at the venue, or “at the door,” are also free of service charges (door sales begin 90 minutes prior to show time).

SFJAZZ offers multiple levels of ticket pricing, each of which correspond to a specific area of the theatre. The highest price signifies the most front and most centrally located seats. In certain venues, the lowest priced tickets may have view limitations or obstructions. Some price ranges are available on multiple floors or levels within a theatre, while other prices may be limited to one specific area. Keep in mind that seating choices are based upon personal preferences, and you should purchase the tickets that best suit your own taste.

Yes, by specific methods only. When purchasing tickets, specific seating selections can be made via all purchase methods except fax and mail, which offer the best available seating in the selected price range, but do not allow for specific seat choices.

SFJAZZ also has a group discount program that is ideal for conventions, tours, schools, churches, alumni groups and other organizations planning special events. Purchase 10 or more tickets and receive 10% off the regular ticket price. Groups of 25 or more receive 15% off. Some group discounts may vary according to show and season. For more information about group orders, write to [email protected] or call 415.788.7353.

Yes. One of the benefits of SFJAZZ membership is exclusive access to ticket discounts that are only offered to members. Members currently receive 10% off orders of 10 tickets or more in a single purchase. The SFJAZZ Community Member Rush Program offers eligible students with valid ID 2 half-price tickets at the concert venue box office only starting 30 minutes prior to show time (based on availability, some restrictions apply).

Even on sold out shows, some tickets may be released or returned for sale just prior to the concert. Please check with the box office at the venue starting 90 minutes before show time to find out if any seats may become available for sale. There may be a stand-by line for those waiting to purchase tickets as they become available. Community Membership rush tickets are not offered on sold out shows.

Yes. Tickets are generally available on the night of the concert at the individual concert venue's box office. Even at sold out shows, some tickets may be released for sale at the door and sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. All venue box offices open 90 minutes prior to show time. Tickets are only available at venue box offices the night of show, not at any other time.

• Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) are available for most performances and can be requested from Front of House (just ask an usher) before your show.
• Select film presentations and educational programs often include open or closed captioning.
• ASL interpretation can be arranged upon request. To help us provide the best service, please submit requests at least two weeks in advance of your performance date. We will make every effort to accommodate requests made with less notice whenever possible.
• For assistance or to request specific accommodations, please contact our Box Office at [email protected]

SFJAZZ complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California law to ensure equal access and effective communication for all guests.
