Complimentary tickets will be distributed to the SOD community for all Main Stage performances in the Hayes Christensen Theatre (HCT) of the Marriott Center for Dance (MCD). This does not include special engagements, rentals, student-choreographed shows, nor non-general admission performances in the building. When a Mainstage performance happens outside of the MCD, special directions will be given on how complimentary tickets will be distributed. 

Current members of the SOD community will receive complimentary tickets according to their position in the school. These ticket amounts are for the entire run of a particular production. Amounts do not compile over categories. A person who qualifies for tickets over multiple categories may claim the highest quantity for only one category. These tickets are transferable and do not have to be used by the person whose name they may be under:

• School of Dance Faculty and Staff: 2 tickets

• Graduate Students (TAs): 2 tickets

• Faculty, Guest, or Student Choreographers: 6 tickets

• Director of the Production: 6 tickets

• College of Fine Arts Administrative Personnel: 2 tickets

• Students Performing in the Production: 2 tickets

• Backstage Personnel (Stage Crew): 2 tickets

Choreographers/Directors may see their own pieces as often as they wish during the run of a show. Please see the House Manager prior to the start of a performance for a ticket.

Complimentary tickets may be picked up from the House Manager 30 minutes before the start of a production. The House Manager will be provided a list of those that should receive tickets and will keep tally to ensure compliance and integrity. Tickets may be picked up under the name of the person they are issued.

ARTSPASS: Currently enrolled students to the University of Utah receive one free ticket during the entire run of a particular Mainstage performance via the ArtsPass program. A valid student uCard must be presented at the box office prior to the performance to take advantage of this opportunity. SOD students should use their ArtsPass privilege before trying to get complementary tickets for their own personal use.

If space is available after the beginning of the performance and at the discretion of the House Manager and Production Team, students, faculty, and staff may enter an already in-progress performance with a complementary ticket. This ticket is for the School of Dance students, faculty, or staff ONLY. This ticket is not transferrable and must be used by the member of the School of Dance community. All entries to the theater, must be from the front lobby with no exceptions. Violation of this policy will result in removal of comp ticket privileges.
