Refund Policy
Once Executive Suite Holders have purchased tickets to other events, or additional suite tickets to Bulls or Blackhawks games, there are no refunds or exchanges. Executive Suite tickets and parking passes may not be resold, as detailed in the Suite License Agreement. Any violation may constitute a major default.
Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks Executive Suite Tickets
The suite tickets for the Bulls and Blackhawks will be placed in each suite holder’s United Center ClickTix account at least one week before the first home preseason game. Parking passes will also be included. Playoff tickets will be available to every Executive Suite Contact at the conclusion of the regular season. Any tickets or parking passes that have been altered in any way (hole punched, blacked-out, etc.) will not be valid and are subject to confiscation.
Additional Suite Tickets
Executive Suite Holders have the right to purchase eight to ten additional Executive Suite tickets to Bulls and Blackhawks games. Additional suite tickets must be ordered through United Center ClickTix.
Delivery of Executive Suite Tickets
All Executive Suite tickets and parking passes are digital. Tickets can be printed from each suite holder’s United Center ClickTix account or transferred to their guests via email. For more information on managing digital tickets, please visit UnitedCenter.com/digital.
United Center Box Office
The United Center Box Office is located inside the East Atrium building. Box Office hours are Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and through halftime for Bulls games, or through the first period for Blackhawks games. On Sunday game days, the box office is open from 12:00 p.m. until first intermission or halftime.
A Box Office representative will be available by telephone at (312) 455-4657 Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
United Center Special Events (concerts, ice shows, etc.)
Under the terms of the Suite License Agreement, Executive Suite Holders will have the right to purchase tickets (depending on the suite location) and up to four additional parking passes to other United Center events open to the general public. To open an Executive Suite for any non-Bulls or non-Blackhawks public event, the Suite Holder must order a minimum of two Executive Suite tickets.
Event Notification
When offering Suite Holders the opportunity to purchase tickets and parking passes to other events, the United Center will communicate via email in advance of tickets going on sale to the general public. Email notifications will be sent with as much advance notice as possible and will include detailed information about the event, along with purchasing instructions and deadlines. Every Suite Holder must have a valid email address on file, and the United Center cannot be responsible for notifications blocked by spam filters or returned as undeliverable.
Relocation of Executive Suite Holders for Obstructed View Events
Depending on stage configurations, certain Executive Suites may have an obstructed view. Obstructed view Executive Suites will be determined by the performer(s) on an event-by-event basis. Obstructed view Suite Holders will receive the opportunity to buy seat locations in the seating bowl.
If tickets are purchased, Suite Holders will also receive an equal number of obstructed view Executive Suite Passes. Ticket holders will be given access to the Executive Suite Level only after providing an event ticket and obstructed view suite pass. The ticket and pass will allow Suite access up to 15 minutes prior to the scheduled event time. Upon leaving the Suite, all guests will be required to remove all personal belongings (unless specifically advised by the United Center that access will be permitted after an event). If access is allowed after an event, the suite levels will generally remain open for up to one hour. (This policy is subject to change on days when there are multiple events, or under special circumstances at the discretion of United Center management.) During the event, all Suite Holders and guests must sit in their ticketed seats in the arena.
Since the final placement and configuration of the stage, lighting and sound equipment may change prior to an event, suites previously designated as obstructed-view may be reclassified as unobstructed. This may occur as late as the day of the event. Should that occur, Suite Holders would have the option of sitting in their reserved seats in the seating bowl, or sitting in their suite provided they have a ticket accompanied by an Executive Suite Pass.
What If I’m Late or Don’t Respond?
If the United Center does not receive an order from the Suite Holder, it is considered as “No Interest” for the event. Due to limited ticket availability, late orders cannot be accommodated.
Special Event Guidelines
For all special events, including concerts and ice shows, please follow these guidelines when the show begins:
• The ceiling and bar lights must be turned off in the Suites.
• The television(s) must be turned off in the Suite unless the promoter has allowed the use of an in-house closed circuit broadcast of the performance. In addition, in an effort to maintain the lights-out atmosphere often required for “dark” events, the Suite television feeds will be disconnected at the scheduled start time.
Replacement Tickets
Executive Suite Holders who have had their tickets or parking passes lost or stolen must email premiumseating@unitedcenter.com up to two hours prior to the start of the event. Replacements will be issued for any lost or stolen tickets at no charge. The replacement tickets or parking passes will be left at the Suite Holder Will Call when the gates open for the event. Previously printed tickets or parking passes will no longer be valid. Tickets and parking passes can also be reprinted at any time directly from UnitedCenter.com/ClickTix.
Only authorized representatives of the Suites may purchase Suite tickets and submit requests for lost or stolen tickets.
Changes in Account Information
The Premium Seating Department requires two authorized contacts remain on file for each Executive Suite. Executive Suite Holders are responsible for notifying the United Center for any change of email address, credit card number, address or contact name. Requests for changes can be mailed to the United Center Premium Seating Department, 1901 West Madison Street, Chicago, IL 60612; by sending an email to premiumseating@unitedcenter.com; or by sending a fax to (312) 455-4140, Attention: Premium Seating.
Payment Policies

Two reserved parking passes are valid in Lot C and K; the other two reserved parking passes are for Lots A, B, D, E, F, MX, or L. Parking passes are good for one space each.

EXECUTIVE SUITE HOLDER GENERAL INFORMATION
Access
To access the United Center and the Executive Suite Levels, you may enter at Gate
2 ½ on Madison Street, or Gate 6 ½ on Adams Street. An Executive Suite (Lower, Club or Penthouse Level) ticket is needed to access any suite level. Adjacent to these gates are lobbies with private Executive Suite elevators and stairs which will take Suite Holders and their guests directly up to all three Suite levels. Lower Level and Club Level Suite ticket holders are encouraged to use the stairs when possible to alleviate congestion at the elevators. For Penthouse Level ticket holders, an express elevator is located on the south side of the United Center for your convenience.
All Suite Holders have access to the 100 and 300 Level public concourses. The 200 Level and Chicago Stadium Club are for Lexus Club Level members only and are not accessible to Suite Holders.
For Bulls and Blackhawks games, the gates typically open 90 minutes prior to game time. For other events, the promoter of the event will determine gate times.
Executive Suite Check-In
When arriving on the Lower, Club and Penthouse Suite Levels, tickets will be checked and punched, and one hand will be stamped with invisible ultraviolet ink.
If Suite guests choose to leave the Suite level during the event, they must take their tickets with them and exit through the center doors by the elevator lobbies. All guests returning to Suites with a punched ticket must have a hand stamp. Any guest attempting to access the Suite Level without a ticket and hand stamp will be denied entry.
Departure Procedures
When leaving the Executive Suite or the Suite Level, be sure to take your ticket with you to ensure re-entry. And please remember that once you leave the United Center, re-entry is not permitted.
Executive Suite guests will be permitted to remain on the Executive Suite Lower, Club and Penthouse Levels up to one hour following the conclusion of the event while traffic clears. This policy is subject to change at the discretion of United Center management.
Appropriate Behavior
For the comfort, safety and enjoyment of all Suite Holders and their guests, the United Center requests appropriate behavior at all times. The licensees of the Suite will be held responsible for the conduct of their Suite guests at all times.
Suite Holders or guests who engage in inappropriate behavior will be subject to ejection from the United Center or possible prosecution. Inappropriate behavior by Suite Holders or guests may constitute a major default of the Suite License Agreement.
