CBUSArts is a regional ticketing system servicing central Ohio and is the official ticketing site for multiple venues, including the Ohio Theatre, Palace Theatre, Southern Theatre, Lincoln Theatre, as well as the Riffe Center Theatre Complex and the McCoy Center for the Arts. CBUSArts is owned and operated by the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA), a non-profit performing arts organization dedicated to bringing world-class performing arts to the central Ohio community.
Arts Community Impact
Since CBUSArts is owned and operated by CAPA, it is 100% local and keeps all collected patron information local. CAPA never sells or rents its data to third-party companies.
While patrons will enjoy reduced service fees on most tickets, the service fees collected will remain local, supporting CAPA’s mission-driven initiatives designed to make Columbus a national destination for the performing arts. CAPA currently stewards ten central Ohio entertainment venues, provides administrative services to seven local arts and culture organizations, presents more than 60 national touring artists each season, produces Festival Latino, and creates educational performing arts experiences for thousands of students each year.
The infrastructure of CBUSArts.com offers CAPA and its partner arts organizations increased functionality with new features that increase intercommunication between departments, better track customer service issues, and consolidate fundraising initiatives.
Previously purchased Tickets/Gift Certificates
Tickets and gift certificates purchased prior to the launch of CBUSArts are still valid and will be honored.
