COVID-19 Updates
In light of Gov. Kim Reynolds’ issuance of a State of Public Health Disaster Emergency, all Hancher programming for the remainder of the spring semester is now canceled. As detailed below, the Hancher Box Office will continue to serve patrons via phone and email, but no in-person business will be conducted and the building will be closed to the public until further notice.
The Hancher Box Office will be in touch with ticketholders for canceled and postponed events. Look for an email from the box office in the coming days. Patrons without an email address on file will be contacted by phone.
Current ticketholders will have three options:
- Receiving a gift certificate for future events
- Making the ticket price a donation to Hancher
- Receiving a refund
For the time being, the best way to reach the Hancher Box Office with questions is via email (hancher-box-office@uiowa.edu). Please keep in mind, however, that the box office will be reaching out directly to current ticketholders in the coming days.
