Since 1989, Fulton Theatre’s Pay-What-You-Want Program has enabled audience members who otherwise would not be able to afford a ticket the opportunity to attend at whatever price they feel comfortable paying.

In addition to the regular Pay-What-You-Want performance dates listed below, Pay-What-You-Want tickets are available to those using an accessibility service at the performances for which the services are provided. Services include ASL interpretation, audio description, open captioning and Spanish interpretation.

Fulton Theatre annually supports non-profit organizations headquartered in Central Pennsylvania through its Ticket Donation Program. Learn more

Pay-What-You-Want Policies

• For these special performances of each production, you may set your own ticket price. A limited number of seats are set aside for this effort as full-price tickets are also sold for these performances.
• Sales are in person only, no phone calls.
• Sales start on the day of the Pay-What-You-Want for Mainstage and Ellen Arnold Groff performances at 4 p.m., and Family Series Performances at 9 am for 11 am performances and at 8 am for 9 am performances. Note that a line often forms early and must remain outside of the building. We advise checking the weather prior to arrival so that you are prepared to queue outside.
• Tickets are sold first come – first served on the day of the performance.
• Limit of 4 tickets per person in line. (Note that full price tickets may be reserved in advance in any quantity.)
• These policies are subject to change at any time. Be sure to check this page before you arrive at the theatre.
