Doors open 75 minutes in advance of SLSO classical concerts and 60 minutes prior to special events. We recommend you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance. This will allow you time to find parking, visit the Box Office, and to find your seat. Once the concert begins, patrons will be seated at an appropriate break in the program. Please refer to the Late Seating Policy below for details.

Come as you are! You will see a wide variety of attire at SLSO events, and we want you to wear what you feel most comfortable in.

Patrons of any age disturbing other concertgoers may be asked to leave. Admission and seating are at the discretion of management. View our Community Values Statement to learn more.

Children are encouraged to attend SLSO performances. The recommended minimum for all classical concerts is 5 years of age, while children of all ages are encouraged to attend Specials, Concerts for Kids, Films, and Youth Orchestra concerts. All patrons age 2 and older must have a ticket. Infants and children under 2 years of age may be seated on the lap of an adult at no charge. Child pricing for classical concerts is $15 with a paying adult. Contact the Box Office to order.

Pre-concert Conversations, sponsored by Washington University Physicians, are free events providing insights to the concert program to all ticket holders beginning one hour prior to each classical concert. Program notes are also available online prior to each classical performance.

The resale of SLSO tickets at a price higher than the original purchase price is grounds for forfeiture and cancellation of the ticket. Tickets obtained from sources other than the SLSO Box Office or slso.org may be counterfeit, lost, stolen, or otherwise fraudulently obtained, and if so, are void. For additional information, go here.

No, the SLSO Box Office is fully cashless.
