Tickets at the Door

There are no in-person ticket sales available prior to the show; however, any remaining tickets may be purchased in person at the door one hour before the show. Information about ticket sales for specific events is available on the Lively Arts calendar. 

Methods of Payments

Methods of payment include check (payable to “IUP Lively Arts”), cash, and credit card.

Single Ticket Fee

There is a $2 per ticket fee for any single tickets purchased, the lowest fee around. 

Not All Shows are for Younger Audiences

Please note that not all events are recommended for younger audiences, and parents should pay particular attention to the event descriptions.

Groups

Do you have a group of 15 or more wanting to attend one of our events? Just contact us, and we will give you a discount of $2 on each ticket—a savings of at least $30 off your order.

Youth Experience Special

Are you a teacher, scout leader, or youth group coordinator and want to organize a trip to one of our shows? We would love to have you, and we’ve designed a special savings plan for youth groups.

For every 10 student tickets purchased, your group will receive one free regular ticket for a chaperone. And if your group brings 15 or more students, you will also receive the $2 per ticket group ticket discount. That could be a savings of up to $78 or more. Plus, we will throw in a ticket for the bus driver.

Seating

Tickets for all events are by general admission seating. Balcony seating in either Fisher Auditorium or Gorell Recital Hall may not be available for all events.

Discount Prices

The discount rate is available to those 60 years and older.

The I-Card price is available to current I-Card holders who have paid the activity fee and to all children and college-aged students. If you are a current I-Card holder, you may purchase up to four tickets per I-Card. Your eight-digit Banner ID number must be provided at the time you place your order.

Watch For Event Announcements

IUP's Lively Arts and departments from the College of Arts, Humanities, Media, and Public Affairs will announce various events and performances throughout the coming months.
