FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How do I buy tickets?

You can buy tickets online, over the phone by calling 309-570-1532, or at the door! The box office is only open to in-person ticket sales on the day of event once doors have opened (usually one hour prior to start time).


Why do you have online service fees?

Our online service fees cover part of the overhead costs of staffing and running a box office, ticket stock, ticketing software and credit card processing fees, box office equipment, etc. We try our best to keep these fees as low as possible!


Do I need to purchase my tickets in advance?

We encourage you to purchase in advance and usually that’s the cheaper option!  Tickets are usually available at the door as well.


Do you have a group discount?

We offer 10% off to groups of 10 or more! These aren’t available online so be sure to call the Betty at 309-570-1532 to purchase tickets for your group.


What is your ticket refund policy?

All sales are final and refunds are only allowed in the case of cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled events.


What is your photo policy?

Flash photography and photography and video recording using professional equipment by audience members are strictly prohibited. The Betty Jayne reserves the right to videotape and photograph rehearsals and performances, including audience, for future promotion.


What’s the seating like? Should I bring a lawn chair?

For a public event, we offer either theatre seating in rows or a mix of high-tops and cocktail tables with chairs, both indoors and out. You’re also welcome to bring your own lawn chairs for live music events in the summer months!


Will the Nanawall be open?

In warmer months, the Nanawall will be open for most live music events, weather permitting!


Can I bring my own food or beverage?

No outside food or beverage is permitted, but beer, wine, mixed drinks, cocktails, and soda are available for purchase at the bar.


Can I bring my kids?

Most of our events are family friendly! We do not have an age restriction unless specifically posted on the event listing.


Do I need to show proof of vaccination or a negative covid test?

Masks, proof of vaccination, and negative COVID tests are not required at this time. We follow safety guidelines set by the CDC, State of Illinois, and local health departments so this is subject to change.

Where should I park? Can I leave my car overnight?

We will not tow your car if left in our lot overnight, but please do so at your own risk. Be sure to lock your vehicle as we cannot guarantee its safety.
