Student Tickets & Opportunities

Each season, more than 20% of UMS audiences are students — and those students collectively save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year through UMS’s generous student ticket discounts. Whether you buy in advance or on the day of the show, all college and high school students get the same deal: student tickets for just $15 or $20, depending on seat location and venue.

Students may purchase two tickets at $15 or $20 (depending on seat location) per show per valid student ID. Student with ID must be present at the time of ticket pick-up to receive the Student prices. To learn about placing a larger order, call the ticket office at 734-764-2538.

Bert’s Ticket Program

All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

Bert Askwith (1911-2015) was a true victor for the arts. This U-M alumnus pledged to give each first- and second-year student a free ticket to a UMS performance and provide a second ticket for a friend for just $10. UMS is pleased to extend this program to all undergraduate students this season!

Performances for the winter semester will be available beginning Wednesday, January 8, 2025.  All performances are eligible for the Bert’s Ticket offer, though quantities may be limited for some performances.

Bert’s Ticket program is made possible with support from Patti Askwith Kenner.
