When you buy tickets online, you'll choose your seats from Citadel's seating chart as part of checkout. If you're a subscriber, your season includes seat selection too — after you purchase your subscription, log back into your online account to claim your seats for each show. It's a separate step from buying the subscription itself, so don't worry if your seats aren't assigned right away. If you get stuck at any point, call the box office at 847-735-8554 ext. 1 and we'll walk you through it.
