Students may purchase two $12 or $20 tickets 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.

Plan Ahead: Inventory is Limited
For every production, UMS designates a significant number of seats that qualify for the student discount. If these seats sell out, UMS will monitor seat inventory and sales demand 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.
Update 9/3/19: The student ticket allocations for the Emanuel Ax/Leonidas Kavakos/Yo-Yo Ma concert, Sheku Kanneh-Mason’s December recital, and Zakir Hussain are currently sold out (however, tickets do still remain for Sheku Kanneh-Mason with the Chineke! Orchestra in April).
At this point, we are unable to release additional student tickets based on overall demand. However, please check back closer to the performance date to see if additional student tickets become available.

Eligible performances for the Fall semester are available now (winter semester performances will be available on January 8, 2020). All performances on the 2019/20 season are eligible for the Bert’s Ticket offer, though quantities may be limited for some performances.

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.
