Fest is one of our BIGGEST and most POPULAR events of the year.
We bring major artists right here to campus!
Fest 2024 will be on 9.27!
This event is paid for by the Mandatory Student Activity Fee.
Your 2024 Fest artists are...
In an effort to provide a safer, more comfortable and overall better experience for the students:
Only UB Undergraduate Students are able to obtain tickets to this event. THERE WILL BE NO TICKETS SOLD TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
Undergraduates are entitled to 1 FREE ticket each; until SA runs out of available tickets.
Your specific ticket will be tied to your UBID. This pairing will be verified when you enter the venue. The ID used to obtain the ticket MUST be the same ID used when you enter with that ticket.
Tickets will be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. We are limited by the amount of room in our venues. We will accommodate as many people as safety will allow.
If tickets are still available by the time the doors open, we will make these tickets available to UB Undergraduates who arrive before 9:00pm.
Tickets will ONLY be given to UB Undergraduate Students, with a valid UBID. The UB Undergraduate Student Association pays for this event entirely. No other student governments (graduate, medical, law, etc) have contributed to funding this event.
*** Your UBID (card or mobile) will be essential to entering Fest. Without it, we cannot allow you to enter***
We attempt to hold Fest outside each year. Unfortunately, we have to make this weather call days in advance of the show, based on the best information available to us. If weather allows, we will try to hold Fest at either Baird Point or the Alumni Arena Lot. If the weather forecast isn’t acceptable, we will move inside the Alumni Arena as a last option.
Color coded zones will be used if Fest is held inside. While reserving your ticket, we have to collect that information even if we are outside. If Fest is held outdoor, there will be no zones, but your zone color MAY still be needed when you show your ticket at the gate. We will email you final instructions once we know where Fest is going to be held.
We will announce the location of Fest as soon as possible. |
