Frequently Asked Questions

What forms of payment are accepted?
We can accept payment by school check or credit card (please check that your card has a daily limit that will cover your order). We unfortunately cannot accept school purchase orders for tickets.

What is the minimum order to be counted as a group?
20 tickets is the minimum order to qualify as a group.

Can I order more tickets after I place my initial order?
You can always purchase additional tickets, but the location of any add-ons is subject to availability at the time of payment. We recommend that you finalize the number of tickets you need before submitting payment to ensure that everyone in your group is seated as close together as possible.

Can I purchase tickets the day of the show?
Yes. Group tickets can be purchased on the day of show, but we strongly recommend ordering them ahead of time to ensure there are enough seats available for your group to all sit together. Any group orders, including add-ons, need to be purchased at the Box Office at the venue. Please note that checks and cash will NOT be accepted on site for ticket purchases; payments must be made with a card.

Do I need to buy a ticket for my bus driver?
We do not offer complimentary tickets with our groups.  It is recommended that you include tickets for the bus driver(s) in your group numbers.

Can I add the parking fee onto my order?
While a few venues do have a parking fee that is included in the final price of tickets, we cannot offer to add parking to all events.  Payment for parking is handled by the venue management and city, who operate a majority of the lots.

When will I receive my tickets?
All tickets will be sent electronically via a Print at Home or Mobile delivery method, depending on the venue.  Tickets will be sent out within 72 hours of payment being received.  If you do not receive your tickets after that time, please contact the DCI Ticket Office and they will assist in providing your tickets to you.

Can I order group tickets for events sold through Ticketmaster?
Yes, however, all group ticket sales, even for Ticketmaster venues, are handled directly through Drum Corps International.

When should I place my order?
As soon as possible! The sooner your order is placed, the closer your seats will be to the 50-yard line. We have a variety of payment options available. Please note that tickets will not be issued until payment is successfully received.

What should I do about tickets for parents?
We encourage you to bring your band parents along on the trip. It is a great way to get your boosters excited for the upcoming marching band season! To receive the group discount, parents will need to purchase their tickets as part of your group order. If they are driving separately and there is a parking fee at the stadium, they will have to pay the fee.

How do I get an invoice/receipt for my order?
Once payment is processed for your order, you will receive an order confirmation email that can be used as your receipt. This will have the amount of tickets purchased and how much was paid. Always refer to the ticket for your seat location. Often times the email receipts are filtered into a spam folder when going to school email addresses. If you haven't received an email receipt within 48 hours of your order, please call the DCI office to email a copy.
 
Invoices can be sent upon request either online or over the phone. The invoice will include the number of tickets requested, price of those tickets, seating location, and a ‘Pay Now’ button that can be used to pay for your invoice online.

Can I place seats on hold and pay later?
Yes! We can place seats on hold for events that are being ticketed by DCI that offer a group discount. Tickets can be held for up to four (4) weeks or two (2) weeks before the date of the event, whichever deadline comes first. Any seats still on hold two weeks before the event will be released back to the general public.
