Fox Cities P.A.C. Expands Rush Ticket Program To Include Offers For More Community Members

 The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center  has announced an expansion of its Rush Ticket Program for more community members to enjoy the live performing arts.

To enhance accessibility to the arts, the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center is introducing reduced ticket prices through the Community Rush Ticket Program for Wisconsin state assistance recipients, similar to rates offered to students. Currently, eligible students can access special ticket rates with proof of current enrollment such as a valid student ID or current course schedule.

The expanded Community Rush program is available for select events exclusively at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center's ticket office, starting one hour before showtime, for patrons enrolled in one or more Wisconsin state assistance programs. Eligible shows can be viewed at foxcitiespac.com/rush. Patrons interested in utilizing Community Rush must present valid documentation of their program enrollment at the time of ticket purchase. Accepted forms of verification may include an acceptance letter, benefit award letter, EBT card, or Medicaid card.

"We are thrilled to offer more opportunities for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to experience and connect to their community through the arts in the Fox Cities," said Fox Cities P.A.C.'s President and CEO Maria Van Laanen. "Expanding the Center's Rush Ticket Program to include families and more community members is another step in making the transformative and inspirational impact of the live performing arts more accessible."
