Service & Restoration Fee

When purchasing your ticket(s), you may have noticed that additional fees were added to the ticket price. These fees apply to all tickets sold through the WY&CC box office and assist in offsetting the cost of the venue's ticket provider (Tix.com) and credit card processing.

In addition, the Wicomico County Council created a 5% Restoration Fee in 2008 with the purpose of preserving the longevity of the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center. This plan is funded by:

• A 5% admission fee on entertainment event ticket sales at the WY&CC
• A 5% rental fee on non-admission events held at the WY&CC
• A 1% hotel room tax
• An annual County budget appropriation.

Funds generated are placed in an interest-bearing and capital escrow account. Funds are used to maintain and improve the venue and replace dated equipment.

Improving the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center can be viewed as an investment in our community's future. This commitment enables the venue to remain competitive in the marketplace and increase its marketability to event organizers. Having the ability to attract and retain events will increase the quality of top flight cultural entertainment, infuse new dollars into the economy and reduce the tax appropriation required to balance the WY&CC's annual operating budget.
