FULL PRICE STANDBY AT THE PUBLIC

You can join our Full Price Standby, to purchase tickets, on the day of the performance you wish to attend for a Public Theater or Joe's Pub performance or event. Below are the specifics of how to join Full Price Standby:

• Visit The Taub Box Office at 5PM for an evening performance and when the Box Office opens for matinee performances to have your name added to our Full Price Standby List. Click here for Box Office Hours.
• You must have a Public Theater Account; visit publictheater.org/register to confirm or create a Public Theater Account before arriving at The Public.
• Our Full Price Standby list is managed digitally. You can share your mobile phone number to receive text updates about availability or use one of our pagers which requires you to remain in the building while waiting for updates.
• All guests are subject to following The Public Theater Health and Safety plan for the performance date and time they wish to purchase tickets.
  
  

FULL PRICE STANDBY PROCEDURES ONE HOUR BEFORE CURTAIN

• If you opted to receive text messages for Standby and left the building after being added to the list, we encourage you to check-in at our box office at The Public at least one hour before the scheduled curtain and no later than 30 minutes before the scheduled curtain. If you fail to check-in at the box office 30 minutes before the curtain, your spot on the list will be forfeited. Those who do not check back in are removed from the list. 
• If you opted to use one of our pagers, you are not required to check-in at the box office 30 minutes before the scheduled curtain.
• As the scheduled curtain approaches, please keep your pager or smart device nearby as a page or text message could come anytime if and when tickets become available. 
• Once you receive a text message or page, please report to the Taub Box Office immediately, and our staff will be ready to assist you with your purchase. 
• Please have your form of payment readily available upon arrival, as ticket sales often happen just minutes before the curtain goes up.
• You will not be able to choose your seats for the performance; our staff will assign them to you based on their release and the best available. 
• We will do our best to accommodate requests for accommodations for people with mobility disabilities. Still, most available tickets are last-minute cancellations and are usually not accessible by wheelchair or other mobility devices.
• Please do not block the box office windows or repeatedly inquire about availability with the box office staff. We will contact you if and when tickets become available. Those who fail to follow this policy will be dismissed from the list.
