Email request
Use the Email option on this page and ask American Ballet Theatre to stop promotional postal mail. Include the full name and mailing address you want removed. Copy the template below, fill the bracketed fields, and attach a photo of the mailer if you have one.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for American Ballet Theatre:
Hello, I'm writing to request that American Ballet Theatre permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from American Ballet Theatre. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

Phone
Call American Ballet Theatre at +1-212-477-3030. Ask them to stop promotional mail and membership packets for the name and address on the mailer.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. A season packet already labeled can still arrive.
- Tickets are separate. Stopping promotional mail does not cancel a ticket, membership card, or donation receipt you already paid for.
- A later list add-back can start it again. A later ticket or gift can put the address back on a file.
Why Do You Receive American Ballet Theatre Mail?
American Ballet Theatre is America’s National Ballet Company, a title Congress gave it in 2006. The company launched in 1939 in New York to stage the best ballets of the past and new work by living choreographers. Lucia Chase and Oliver Smith led it for decades. Mikhail Baryshnikov took over in 1980. Susan Jaffe is artistic director. Headquarters sit at 890 Broadway. The company keeps spring and fall seasons at Lincoln Center, tours the United States for about 300,000 people a year, and has visited 45 countries. The leftover mail is a season, membership, or gala ask, not a ticket you already bought.
You get that mail if you bought a ticket, joined, donated, or landed on an audience file they use. The leftover packet is often a Swan Lake date after you already went.

DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from American Ballet Theatre as it is not an active member of the ANA.

OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of American Ballet Theatre mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.

Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops American Ballet Theatre marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to ABT’s Privacy Policy page, or call +1-212-477-3030, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of promotional mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until American Ballet Theatre mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If a season packet arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Tickets and donation receipts can still arrive if you already paid.
How do I stop American Ballet Theatre mail for a previous resident?
Call American Ballet Theatre at +1-212-477-3030 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will American Ballet Theatre mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
