Student Tickets
UF Student Tickets
University of Florida students receive special ticket pricing for most UFPA-presented events thanks to support from Student Government. Student prices range from $12-20.
Tickets for Other Students
Any non-UF student may purchase discounted balcony tickets for select UFPA performances.
All discounted tickets are subject to availability and may be limited or unavailable for select events. UFPA is unable to offer discounted tickets to some performances (such as many Broadway musicals). Please check each specific performance’s event page for information about pricing and availability. Contact our box office at 352.392.2787 or 800.905.2787 with any questions.
HOW TO PURCHASE STUDENT TICKETS:
Important: Student Tickets Require Proper Identification
Each student purchasing a UF student priced ticket must have a valid Gator 1 card. Card must say “Student.” Students are required to bring their Gator 1 cards on the day of the performance. They must be presented at time of ticket scan for entry into the auditorium.
Student tickets for all events in the 2024|2025 Season will go on-sale beginning Saturday, August 24 at noon (along with our general public on-sale). Students who join as Affiliates can pre-order tickets before the general public. See below for additional information, or learn more about Affiliate Membership »
Tickets may be purchased in person at the Phillips Center Box Office, by calling 352.392.2787 or 800.905.2787 during open hours, or anytime online (tickets.performingarts.ufl.edu/Online).
University of Florida Performing Arts is supported in part by University of Florida Student Government.
UFPA Internships
An internship with University of Florida Performing Arts is a wonderful opportunity to learn, network, and gain real-life work experience. Each semester, interns have the opportunity to work in the various departments of UFPA, from administration to development, marketing to operations. The dynamic and team-oriented nature of UFPA allows interns to work in a variety of areas, providing a broad and valuable experience.
UFPA internships are semester or year-long commitments. You will be expected to commit 10-15 hours per week. Work hours are flexible and agreed upon with your supervisor at the start of your internship.
If you are interested in having your internship count for class credit, please check with your college for more information. Previous UFPA interns have received credit from the Colleges of Journalism and Communications, Health and Human Performance, and Liberal Arts and Sciences.
