How do I get an Arts Pass?
Your UCard is your Arts Pass! UCards are issued to each student of the University of Utah at the UCard Office in the Union Building. Just bring your Ucard with you to the box office at Kingsbury Hall or the Union Building if getting your tickets in advance, OR at the door of each venue night of the performance. You will still need to get a printed ticket. Just hand your UCard to the box office agent and they will swipe your card and give you your ticket. It is that easy!
What if I forget my UCard?
You will not be able to receive a free ticket without your UCard. We would be happy to sell you a very reasonably priced ticket for the event, however.
