YBCA’s Visitor Services desk is located in the Grand Lobby of the Gallery & Forum Building.

Tickets to all YBCA-curated programs may be purchased from the Visitor Services desk, which also serves as the box office. Visitor Services’ hours coincide with gallery hours, as well as those of scheduled performances, film screenings, and special events.

For events taking place in the Blue Shield of California Theater at YBCA, the theater box office in the lobby of 700 Howard Street opens 60 minutes prior to the scheduled program. At all other times, please visit the Visitor Services desk in the Gallery & Forum building for assistance.

For questions regarding tickets, please call 415-978-2787 during gallery hours, or email us at: [email protected]
