Special event ticket policy

In addition to its public programs, The Architectural League presents a limited number of special events during the year, including annual benefit and fundraising events such as the President’s Medal Dinner and the Beaux Arts Ball. A portion of each ticket or sponsorship sold for these events is considered a charitable contribution to the League, while the fair market value of the benefits received is considered non-tax-deductible. Available ticket levels, prices, and non-deductible values are published when ticket sales commence. All proceeds from ticket purchases, sponsorships, and contributions support the League’s work throughout the year. Ticket purchases and contributions to special events are not refundable; however, tickets that will go unused may be donated back to the League or converted in full to charitable contributions. League memberships do not include free tickets to special events unless otherwise indicated.

In the event of unforeseeable circumstances preventing the League from carrying out an event as planned, we will attempt to hold the event on a later date. No refunds will be provided in such a circumstance, but all original ticket purchases will be honored to the fullest extent possible. Due to the complexity of arrangements and preparations, we cannot guarantee that an event will be rescheduled.

Safety is our utmost priority when planning and executing our special events. If we proceed with an event despite adverse circumstances, ticket takers must use their own best judgment to evaluate risk and will bear final responsibility in choosing whether or not to attend.

We accept pledges for payment on a future date. Once the event takes place, all pledges are considered firm commitments and cannot be modified.
