Free Student Tickets
Free Student Tickets
Thanks to generous funding from a small group of individual donors, the SPCO is excited to announce that students with a valid student ID can attend unlimited regular SPCO concerts free of charge! The SPCO is committed to sharing the music we play with the broadest possible audience in our community. We believe our music has the power to inspire, challenge, move and uplift and that everyone, including young people, deserves the opportunity to experience transformational performances. With free tickets for students, we are expanding access to the arts for young people and making it easier than ever to experience SPCO concerts.
How it works:
- Students sit in any price seat, at any regular concert for FREE.
- Order online using the “Student” price type or call our Ticket Office to reserve your free tickets.
- Present your valid student ID at will call to pick up your tickets at the concert.
Many SPCO performances take place at venues on or near schools and college campuses throughout the Twin Cities including the Ordway Concert Hall, Ted Mann Concert Hall at the U of M, Benson Great Hall at Bethel University and Saint Paul’s United Church of Christ.
