UPDATE - ALL TICKETS SOLD OUT within 8 hours! Here's how to get your name on the waiting list or sell your tickets if you find you can't come.
Red Bird will use their ShowPass Waitlist and Ticket Resale system for BUG Jams, just as Red Bird does with their other events. It’s the same system you use to purchase BUG Jam tickets through Red Bird.
- How to use Red Bird ShowPass Waitlist after tickets have sold out: Here's a link explaining how it works: Joining a Waitlist If tickets become available for you, you'll receive an email and have 24 hours to purchase the tickets you requested. These tickets will cost you $15 (the regular $10 ticket fee plus a $5 ShowPass fee for handling). You can always remove your name from the waitlist.
- How to use Red Bird ShowPass Ticket Resales to sell tickets you can't use: You create a ShowPass account (it’s simple – I did it for the tickets I buy to Red Bird and likely you may have already created one too.) Then you follow these easy instructions: Ticket Resales You can also cancel your resale if you find that you can make it to the jam after all and your tickets haven't yet sold. Once your ticket has been sold to someone on the wait list, you will receive a confirmation email along with your refund (within 7 business days).
TIME: 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. If you arrive before that time, please line up outside as with all other ticketed Red Bird shows. BUG jammers are not permitted to wait in the lobby - that area is reserved for students and their parents. There is also a group class running in the main room before our jam. The people you may see going in and out before 6:45 p.m. are music students, their parents, and staff.
