Ticketing Procedures for 2026

This year, each school will be allotted a specific number of tickets based on the number of nominations they receive. Schools will have three days to determine whether they will accept all offered tickets or decline some of their allotment. Please note that all performers, including opening number participants, must have a ticket. Schools may request additional tickets; however, due to venue size limitations, we cannot guarantee that all additional requests will be accommodated.

Tickets are $35 each and must be paid for by check, Venmo, or Zelle only. All payments must be submitted by Monday, June 8, 2026.
