DYNAMIC PRICING
The George Washington University Box Office may employ "dynamic pricing" for select events, meaning the price of tickets may (but will not necessarily) fluctuate over time and/or in response to demand. The adjustment of ticket pricing is made by the management of the venue, in cooperation with the producers of the event. This may take place without prior notice.
