Student Tickets & Opportunities
$12 and $20 for College and High School Students
Rush pricing that you don’t have to rush around for! Take it easy and plan ahead, because now instead of hoping last-minute rush tickets will be available, you can purchase tickets at low prices all year long.
Whether you buy in advance or on the day of the show, college and high school students (not just University of Michigan students!) will always get the same sweet deal: All student tickets are $12 or $20, depending on seat location.
UMS designates a significant number of seats to be discounted for student purchase for every production. Should student seats sell out, UMS will monitor seat inventory and sales demand for full price tickets and student tickets to assess whether additional student seats can be made available. If it is possible to increase the number of student seats, they will become available each Tuesday at 10 am.
As long as a performance is not sold out, student tickets will also be available at the door. Students may also purchase tickets online or in person with a valid student ID.
Student tickets for the 2017-18 season go on sale on Thursday, August 31, 2017 at 10 am.
Student Subscriptions
Student subscriptions are on sale until September 15.
Student subscriptions cost $20 per ticket, with a minimum of five different events purchased (maximum of two tickets per ID, which must be shown when purchasing or picking up your tickets).
Access student ticket pricing in select seating areas months ahead of the student ticket sales date in the fall. Exact seat locations will be assigned in July by the Patron Services team and are based on the date of your order.
Perks include fee-free exchanges (until 48 hours before a performance) and the ability to add to your subscription until general student sales begin.

Bert’s Ticket for undergraduate U-M first-year and second-year students
Bert Askwith (1911-2015) was a true victor for the arts and an incredible advocate for the U-M student experience. Bert pledged to buy every first- and second-year U-M undergraduate student a free ticket to a UMS performance and provide a second ticket for a friend for just $10.
Eligible performances for the Fall semester are available starting September 1, 2016 while Winter semester performances are available starting January 4, 2017. All performances on the 2016-17 season are eligible for the Bert’s Ticket offer, except the Berlin Philharmonic, Igor and Moreno, and Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile.

Student Committee
The UMS Student Committee is an official student organization at the University of Michigan! Students focus on connecting the campus community to the performing arts through UMS performances and experiences.
Each season, the Student Committee creates and executes marketing plans for a select number of UMS performances. Students have found that the committee is a really satisfying, social way to stay connected to the arts during school. To top it off, you’ll get two free tickets to a UMS show for every four hours you volunteer.
You can join at any time! Email umsscinfo@umich.edu for more information.
