From an opera board that I'm on, a poster reported that she called in to donate her Met Opera ticket for last

night and was told she could bring the ticket to the BO and exchange it for another ticket.

If so, this is a comparatively new policy. I had a $125 ticket for for a performance during a storm about 3 years ago and I was out of luck.

Perhaps these performing arts companies are rolling out policies that are more "consumer friendly"

Any one hear anything on the NY Phil? That would be the third of the big companies at Lincon Center.
