FAQs Frequently asked questions

Where can I find my ticket?
Your tickets are in the "Tickets" section of the Fever app, which you can download from the App Store or Google Play. Log in with the same method you used to buy them. Your QR code is also in your confirmation email.
Does my ticket give me access to any of the other exhibits at Chabot Space & Science Center?
Yes. The first-floor exhibits are open before showtime. On Fridays, Chabot astronomers offer a free telescope viewing on the Observation Deck after the concert.

Yes, transfers are free. Use the "Transfer tickets" option on your ticket in the Fever app. For further help, contact support with your order number.
Can I change the date or time of my ticket?
Date changes are possible up to 24 hours in advance. Contact support with your ticket ID, or tap "Exchange date and/or time" in the app if that option appears. Refunds are not available under any circumstances.
Can I get a refund for my ticket?
No, refunds are not offered in any situation. Tickets with the Flexible Cancellation add-on follow a different policy.
I purchased a ticket with Flexible Cancellation. Can I get a refund?
Yes, you can cancel by contacting support up to 48 hours before the experience starts. A ticket that has been transferred to another user is non-refundable.
What is "Candlelight Photo"?
A one-of-a-kind photo experience, available only to those who purchase it: a personal photo session in a designated area and one Polaroid-style instant print to keep.
Can I buy "Candlelight Photo" at the venue?
Yes, as long as it has not sold out. Those who bought it online with their concert tickets have priority over on-site buyers. On-site payment is by credit card only.
When is my picture taken?
The photo session takes place before the event and ends 10 minutes before the concert starts, so arrive at least 30 minutes early.
When do I get my photo?
You choose your favorite photo before it is printed. Staff print it during the concert and you collect it at the exit. Photos can't be stored, and if you miss the pickup, they can't be refunded or rescheduled.
Where do I go to have my picture taken?
Once you're inside the venue, staff will explain how the photo experience works. Feel free to ask any staff member.
What is the "Candles 3-Pack"?
A set of three premium electric candles that recreate the warm, flickering glow of a real flame.
What is the policy for Candle 3-Packs purchased online?
They must be picked up at a designated spot at the venue on the day of the event. As they are tied to that date and location, candle add-ons purchased online and picked up on site cannot be refunded or returned. All sales are final.
What are the different seating zones?
The theater is divided into sections based on view quality. Staff assign seats at the entrance, on a first-come, first-served basis, within the section you selected.
Can my friends and I sit together?
Yes, if you arrive together and all hold tickets for the same zone. Arriving early improves your chances, and the team will do its best to seat you together.
Is there an age requirement?
Guests must be at least 8 years old. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Are tickets available for purchase at the entrance?
No. Tickets are sold only through the Fever app and website.
When should I arrive?
Arrive at least 30 minutes early to be seated in your zone. Doors close 5 minutes before the start, and late arrivals are not admitted.
Can I get a ticket for a carer?
Guests who need assistance can request one free ticket for a personal assistant or support worker by contacting support. You'll receive a voucher to redeem in the Fever app, subject to availability.
Will food and drinks be available for purchase?
Yes, food and drinks can be purchased at the event.
