Approximately one month before the concert, you will receive a notice confirming the number of seats ordered and the total amount due. This notice will serve as your group ticket for the event.

Any changes of reservation numbers must be communicated to the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra at least two weeks before the concert date. Full payment is also due at this time. No refunds will be given after this date.
