Refund Policy
Programs and artists are subject to change. If an artist cancels an appearance, UMS makes every effort to substitute that performance with a comparable artist. Refunds will only be offered if a substitute cannot be found, or in the event of a date change. Service charges are not refundable. UMS will not cancel performances because of inclement weather.
Ticket Donations & Unused Tickets
Tickets may be donated to UMS until the published start time of the concert. A receipt will be issued for tax purposes. Unused tickets that are returned after the performance begins are not eligible for UMS Credit or as a donation.
Tickets can be purchased online, via phone at 734.764.2538, or in-person at the Michigan League Ticket Office. Visit our Contact Page for more information.
