IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT ELECTRIC POE :

• BYOB (Blanket) seating will be in the front half of the audience area. You may bring a blanket or other ground covering, but everybody with a BYOB ticket must be seated on the ground.

• BYOC (Chair) seating will be in the back half of the audience area. You may bring lawn chairs or other outdoor seating, but everybody with a BYOC ticket must be seated behind patrons in the blanket seating area.

• SRO (Standing Room Only) tickets will be released if BYOB/C tickets sell out. SRO admission allows patrons to stand behind the chair seating area. This area is sloped and isn't necessarily accessible for chairs. However, as space and safety allow, any SRO patrons who bring chairs or blankets will be permitted to find seating space once all BYOB and BYOC patrons have been seated.

• Tours of Union Cemetery are available on Friday performance evenings only. Tickets for tours are an add-on. You will need to select both a ticket for Electric Poe AND a tour ticket if you'd like this package (tour tickets alone are not available). Tour participants will meet 90 minutes prior to showtime. Each tour will last approximately 60 minutes.

• If a show is cancelled due to inclement weather, BYOB/BYOC tickets can be moved to a remaining performance, funded to your patron account for use towards another show, or refunded (refunds will only be offered if a show is cancelled by the theatre). Cemetery Tour tickets are fully non-refundable. If a tour/show is cancelled, you will still be able to schedule a tour with the Cemetery at one of the many dates throughout the year they offer tours.
