UC Berkeley Student Discounts, Employment, and more!

Limit two tickets per performance. If you purchase two tickets, your guest does not need to be a UC Berkeley student. Fifty premium seats available on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets may be purchased online, by phone at 510.642.9988, or in person at the Ticket Office at Zellerbach Hall.  When ordering by phone or in person, mention Golden Bear Circle so you receive your $10 tickets. Tickets must be picked up the day of the performance at the Ticket Office Will Call with a valid student ID.

Student Flex Passes are redeemable for up to two tickets per performance and for the best available seats at the time of redemption in price sections 3–6 for Zellerbach Hall, the balcony in First Congregational Church, and all seats in Hertz Hall and Zellerbach Playhouse. (Other seating restrictions may apply.) If redeeming for two tickets, your guest does not need to be a UCB student. Tickets for individual performances as well as Flex Passes are subject to limitations and availability. Redeem “Flex Pass Performance” vouchers for the performance of your choice by visiting the Ticket Office the day of the show. You will need to have a valid, current UCB student ID to redeem.   All Flex Pass sales are final and unused tickets are not refundable.

The following events or event dates are not available for Flex Pass redemption or UCB Student Group discounts:

Miami City Ballet, 9/25; Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan 10/29; Soweto Gospel Choir; Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI; Emanuel Ax, Leonidas Kavakos and Yo-Yo Ma; Kodo; David Finckel and Wu Han; Ira Glass; Mark Morris Dance Group, 2/17; Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra 3/7 & 3/9; Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, 4/15 & 16; Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

You can work with our Ticket Office to create a promotion code so that those in your group can individually order their tickets, or, alternately, make arrangements to purchase tickets all at once for direct distribution to your group. Limit two tickets per student (at least half of your group must be UC Berkeley students; any guests do not need to be students).

For an added social dimension to your experience, Cal Performances can help make arrangements for groups of 25-125 people to get together in the hall during intermission or following the performance (space availability permitting).

To purchase UC Berkeley Student Group tickets, start by filling out the request form. UCB student group tickets are available for limited events and in limited quantities and are available for requesting groups on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please note: a full list of attendees names and email addresses will be required by Cal Performances in advance of the performance.
