Season Ticket Benefits

Season Ticket Holders get priority access to the best seats, discounted ticket prices, free ticket exchanges, and more:

Ticket Discounts

Purchase at least 5 events, and you’ll save 10%. Purchase the entire season as one of our Marathon Subscribers, and save 25%! Discounts apply on additional tickets purchased throughout the year (standard processing fees apply). Fixed package prices already reflect generous ticket discounts.

Access to the Best Seats — At the Best Prices

Season ticket holders get their foot in the door early, which means that when it’s time to assign seats for individual performances, you’ll be covered.

Same-Seat Renewal (Choral Union & Chamber Arts)

If you subscribed to the Choral Union or Chamber Arts series in the 25/26 season, you’ll have access to those same seats when renewing this season.

Digital Tickets

Digital Tickets allow you to access your tickets through an online portal, providing you with the option to add them to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and/or share them with friends or family members.

We’d like to encourage subscribers to consider using digital tickets this season, as it helps with tracking exchanges, removes the need for reprinting lost tickets, and saves significant time and money. Please indicate whether you prefer digital or printed tickets when you place your order.

Risk-Free Ticket Exchanges

If you find that you can’t make an event, you can exchange your tickets for no additional fee for another UMS event this season, up to 48 hours before a performance. Within 48 hours, there’s a $10 fee per ticket.

Parking Benefits

Order at least five events by Friday, June 26, and you’ll be eligible for a limited number of free parking passes in the Power Center structure (Fletcher St), a close walk to most central campus performance venues. Be sure to check the box on the order form when ordering online if you wish to take advantage of this offer; parking passes are not automatically included.

Marathon subscribers are eligible for one pass for each event of the season.

Choral Union subscribers are eligible for six free event parking passes.

Chamber Arts, Jazz, and Series:You subscribers are eligible for four free event parking passes.

Dance and No Safety Net Theater subscribers are eligible for three free event parking passes.

Installment Billing

Installment billing is easy, with three installments spaced throughout the summer for a minimum order of $300 (credit card only) — available online, by phone, and in person.

The first installment will be processed upon receipt of your order, with subsequent installments billed to your credit card on or around July 9 and August 13.

If you work for U-M, you can have the cost of your tickets withdrawn through payroll deduction. Just place your order by Friday, May 29, 2026, and the deductions will be made in your June, July, August, and September paychecks. Payroll deduction orders are not available online and must be placed in person, or by phone or mail.

Season tickets will be sent in early August, or after the final installment is charged. There is a $15 service charge for all season ticket orders (per order, not per ticket). Individual event prices listed in our printed brochure and on the web are guaranteed through Friday, July 24, 2026.

The patron services team can be reached by phone, 734.764.2538, Monday – Friday from 10 am – 5 pm.

Seating Priority

We get a lot of questions about how and when seating is assigned. If you have specific requests, we encourage you to indicate those in your order notes, and we’ll do our best to meet your needs. Renewing subscribers may place their orders on Tuesday, April 28, a full week before new subscribers. After the renewal deadline (May 29, 2026), we will begin seating subscribers in the following order:

Marathon Series Subscribers
Those who purchase the Marathon Series, which includes every event in the season, are seated first, by date received, with priority given to donors of $1,000 or more within each date.

Donor Subscribers
Subscribers who also donate $1,000 or more are seated in date order by donation level (all package types).

Fixed Package Subscribers
Those who purchase Fixed packages (Choral Union, Chamber Arts, Jazz, Dance, and Theater) are seated next, by date received. Renewing Choral Union and Chamber Arts subscribers automatically receive their same seats. All seats ordered by Fixed Package subscribers, including upgrade requests, additional tickets, or additional Series:You packages, are assigned during this process.

Series:You Subscribers
Those who purchase Series:You are seated next, by date received. Additional ticket requests are seated at the same time as the Series:You package We often get questions about why subscribers are not able to select their own seats when ordering subscription packages online. The ticketing system that we license is not able to fully accommodate the flexibility we offer, particularly on Series:You subscriptions, which allow a lot of customization. We have explored several different systems, and none of them currently offers online seat selection given the level of customization we like to provide our subscribers.

After the initial seating process is complete, usually in late June, we can accommodate those who wish to choose their own seats either in-person at the League Ticket Office (Monday-Friday, 1-5 pm) or by phone (Monday-Friday, 10 am to 5 pm). Subscription packages are still available online but will show only the section and not the specific seat location.
