We purchased tickets through Washington Performing Arts Society, only to learn later that we had a conflict which did not permit us to go to the performance. WPAS does not allow exchanges of tickets. We're out nearly $100.00, and we're not happy. We will be avoiding WPAS like the plague in the future. Caveat emptor.
