Student Tickets
There are three opportunities for students and education professionals to save money on tickets to Pittsburgh Opera performances:
- Student Rush
- CheapSeats
- Group discounts
Student Rush – Half Price Seats!
Starting two hours before every performance, students with valid school ID can go to the Benedum Center Box Office and purchase up to two tickets for any available seats for half price.
CheapSeats
CheapSeats are the easy and affordable way for students, faculty, and the staff at our partner colleges and universities to enjoy great opera. Prices range from 50% to 75% for select seating in either the Orchestra or the Balcony. Cheap Seats are available online at www.pittsburghopera.org/cheapseats. Simply go there and pick your school from the drop list.
Pitt Arts is our partner for the University of Pittsburgh. In addition to online ordering, members of the Pitt community can go to Pitt Arts, 9th Floor, William Pitt Union, and fill out a CheapSeats order form. For Pitt Arts information, go to their office, call them at 412-624-4498, or visit Pitt Arts.
