For Palace of Fine Arts ticket holders
Dan & Phil San Jose Civic
Friday, November 6, 2026 Doors 7:30 p.m. Show 8:30 p.m.
- Your Palace of Fine Arts show in San Francisco is cancelled. Those tickets won't work in San Jose.
- Bought from Ticketmaster? Your refund is automatic. Nothing to do.
- Want to come to San Jose on Nov 6? SF buyers book first.
We're sorry for the change of plans, the extra travel, and the trouble of booking again. The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco (SF) had no dates open when Dan & Phil are available, so the Bay Area show is moving to San Jose Civic. It's a bigger room than both SF shows combined, so there's space for everyone who wants to come. To join us, you'll need to book new tickets. Previous San Francisco buyers book first.
Your refund
- Bought directly from Ticketmaster?
- Nothing to do. Ticketmaster issues refunds on Thursday, September 17, back to your original payment method. Allow 14–21 days from then, so expect yours by Thursday, October 8 at the latest, depending on your bank.
- Bought from a third-party seller?
- Your refund comes from that seller, so contact them directly. It will not arrive automatically.
- Closed or changed the card you paid with?
- Contact Ticketmaster customer service and they can help.
- Will San Jose cost the same?
- Yes. Tickets and packages are priced the same as the SF shows.

Questions & Answers
- Can I use my old tickets in San Jose?
-
You'll need to book new ones. The two Palace of Fine Arts shows are cancelled, and your old tickets won't work at San Jose Civic.
- Will I be able to book my VIP packages again?
-
Yes. We have enough Gold and Silver VIP packages for all previous VIP purchasers from both San Francisco shows to book the same package types and quantities for San Jose. That's why we're using unique codes with purchase limits.
Please book during the VIP presale: Monday, September 21 at 10 a.m. through Tuesday, September 22 at 10 p.m. Pacific. You'll choose new seats when you book.
- I received more than one VIP code. Can I use them together?
-
Ticketmaster has confirmed that two Gold codes or two Silver codes cannot be used in the same order. We're sorry for the confusion.
Some original purchases appeared as separate entries in the purchaser list, so we sent more than one code for those packages. We've now emailed replacement codes to customers who received more than one code for the same package type at the same email address. Each new code covers the full quantity for that package type, including packages bought for either or both SF dates. Your total package allowance has not changed. The earlier codes listed in your replacement email are now invalid. Please use your new code for Monday's presale. Any other code marked as unchanged in that email still applies.
If you have one Gold code and one Silver code, Ticketmaster has confirmed that you can use both in the same order. Each unlocks its own package type. After entering the first code, you may need to return to the Filter tab to see the other offer.
The presale opens Monday, September 21 at 10 a.m. Pacific and closes Tuesday, September 22 at 10 p.m. Pacific. There are enough VIP packages for previous purchasers from both SF shows to book their original package types and quantities during the presale. You'll choose new seats, and we can't guarantee specific seat locations or seats together. For the best choice, we recommend being online as close to the start time as possible.
If you passed one of the affected codes to a friend, please share the replacement email with them so you can coordinate your booking. Each replacement code is single-use, so book all the packages you want with it in one checkout. Any unused allowance cannot be used later.
If you expected a replacement email and can't find it, please check your spam folder, then reply to your original presale email so we can help.
- Will I have the same seats, or be able to sit with my group?
-
You'll choose new seats for San Jose. Your San Francisco seats won't carry over, and we can't guarantee the same seat locations or adjoining seats.
For the best choice of VIP seat locations, be online as close as possible to the presale start on Monday, September 21 at 10 a.m. Pacific. If you received multiple codes for one original order, see the answer above for our update on booking your packages together.
- Can my friend use my VIP code from their own Ticketmaster account?
-
Yes. Your VIP code isn't tied to your Ticketmaster account or email address, so you can pass it to a friend to book from their own account.
The code still covers the same package type and number of packages, and it can only be used once during the VIP presale. Make sure only one of you uses it, and book all the packages you want with that code in one checkout.
- When can I book?
-
SF VIP package buyers can book Monday, September 21 at 10 a.m. through Tuesday, September 22 at 10 p.m. Pacific. SF standard ticket buyers can book Wednesday, September 23 at 10 a.m. through Thursday, September 24 at 10 p.m. Pacific. Tickets open to everyone on Friday, September 25 at 10 a.m. Pacific. Your code arrives by email on Thursday, September 17.
- What if I miss my presale window?
-
You can still book at the public sale on or after Friday, September 25 at 10 a.m. Pacific, while supplies last. Your presale code only works during your window.
We encourage you to book as early as you can within your presale window. The earlier you book, the better your odds of the best seats.
- Do I need to ask for a refund?
-
For all orders purchased directly through Ticketmaster, your refund will go back to your original payment method automatically. If you purchased your ticket through a third party, please contact your original point of purchase.
- When will the money be back in my account?
-
Ticketmaster issues refunds on Thursday, September 17 and says they can take 14–21 days, depending on your bank. Expect yours by Thursday, October 8 at the latest. We hope it arrives sooner.
- What if I'm still waiting for my refund when booking opens?
-
We know that can make booking again difficult. We delayed the presale dates to give refunds more time to land. If you need more time, you can still book at the public sale on or after Friday, September 25, while supplies last.
- My code isn't working, the number of packages looks wrong, or I haven't received an email. What should I do?
-
Emails go out on Thursday, September 17 from updates@m.velvet.live to the address on your Ticketmaster order. Check your spam folder first. Then get in touch at help@showandtelllive.com with your original order number and the email address you used to book your tickets.
- Someone transferred tickets to me, or I bought through another seller. What happens now?
-
If you bought through a resale marketplace, please contact the marketplace where you paid for your tickets. Their support team can help with your purchase and refund questions. We can only verify the original Ticketmaster buyer's information, so we're unable to check or resolve resale purchases.
SeatGeek has confirmed it recognizes the cancellation, so SeatGeek buyers can request their refund through SeatGeek Support.
If a friend transferred tickets to you, please contact the original buyer. Ticketmaster's refund goes back to the original payment method, and the presale code goes to the original buyer too.
- Is the show all ages?
-
Yes. Guests under 14 must be with an adult who is 18 or older.
- I need accessible seating or another accommodation. Can you help?
-
Please get in touch with tickets@sanjose.org (the venue's box office) before booking so the venue team can help with what you need.
Thanks for bearing with us. We hope to see you there.
