How can I join?

Members of the Arts at Emory Passport program will receive a sticker to be placed on the back of their Emory Cards. Freshmen will get their Passport stickers at the Creativity & Arts Soiree. Transfer students and Oxford continuees should email artsintern@learnlink.emory.edu to arrange a time to pick up their Passport stickers.

Upperclassmen and graduate students can purchase a Passport for $10 in person at the Arts at Emory Box Office located in the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts. Passports cannot be purchased online or over the phone.

Can I use the Passport for my PACE requirements?

How do I use the Passport membership?

Students can use their Passport membership to receive a ticket either in advance, or within an hour of show time.

To avoid a sold-out situation (which can happen often for both Theater and Dance, check tickets.arts.emory.edu for ticket availability) you can get your ticket in advance by visiting the Arts at Emory box office (Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., outside Emerson Concert Hall, ground level, Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, next to the Goizueta Business School). Then simply present your Emory Card with Passport sticker in tact. You are allowed one free ticket per event for your own use (tickets are not transferable).

To obtain a ticket within an hour of show time you can show up at the particular venue's box office, show membership card and ID and be issued a ticket if available.

What if I want to go to an event with someone who isn't a Passport member?

You can attend any event with someone who isn't a Passport member (they must purchase their own ticket separately), but for events with assigned seats there is no guarantee that you can sit together unless you reserve your tickets at the same time. For events with open seating, it is on a first-come first-served basis.

But why not just tell your friend to be a Passport member!

The Emory Arts Passport program facilitates greater participation in the arts. It offers student members free tickets to select on-campus Music, Theater and Dance events.

To find out more about participating or about how your event could be included in an upcoming passport please contact us at artsintern@learnlink.emory.edu or 404-712-4624.
