Our top priority is the health and safety of our artists, volunteers, staff, and audience members.

In following the most recent guidelines from Kansas State University and the CDC in regards to the COVID-19 virus, McCain has made the difficult decision to cancel or reschedule all events left in the 2019-2020 McCain Performance Series. The following event updates are current as of June 30, 2020:

Canceled

  • George Orwell’s 1984
  • Homer’s The Odyssey

  • One Night of Queen: rescheduled to Monday, March 22, 2021

Postponed idefinitely

  • Piff the Magic Dragon and Piff’s Private Party (VIP meet-and-greet)
  • Kool and the Gang

For those two shows, McCain Auditorium is in the process of notifying patrons and providing them with options of donating the value of their tickets to McCain, obtaining a gift certificate to be used in the future, or receiving a refund. Ticket holders for those two shows should contact McCain Auditorium via email at mccain@k-state.edu with their preference by Aug. 31.

Refunds

  • For the canceled performances, the ticket, facility surcharge, and sales tax will be refunded to the original ticket holder’s credit card used to purchase the tickets.

  • Patrons do not need to contact the ticket office to request this refund. If the patron originally paid by cash, check, or gift certificate, the ticket office will contact the patron to discuss refund options or your may email mccain@k-state.edu.

  • Patrons should email the McCain ticket office if they prefer a refund onto a gift certificate: mccain@k-state.edu.

  • Patrons who would like to attend the rescheduled event need to do nothing.

Suspended Ticket Office hours and reduced staff

TICKET OFFICE HOURS ARE CURRENTLY SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

McCain ticket office staff can be reached best via email at mccain@k-state.edu.

  • In accordance with K-State’s guidelines, McCain staff has been reduced to limited numbers and hours in hopes of reducing chances of virus spread for both our employees and our visitors.

  • McCain’s response to inquiries may be delayed more than usual. McCain also encourages patrons to email mccain@k-state.edu with any questions or ticketing issues.

McCain thanks patrons for their patience while staff tackles increased call volume and inquiries.

Share your support

Many of our dear patrons have expressed concern about the financial impact of these event cancellations and rescheduling. McCain encourages its friends to share your support and make a donation of any size.

The health and well-being of our community is McCain’s top priority during this ever-changing challenge, and we hope these preventative measures – although not ideal – will lessen the impact on our patrons, our campus, and our employees.
