How to Attend or Buy Tickets for SDSU Music and Dance Performances

The School of Music and Dance at San Diego State University hosts 250+ annual events, and the public can attend by buying tickets through the school's event page or by checking the full performance calendar for dates and times. Start with the "Buy Tickets to our Music and Dance Events" link on the school's site, then confirm the specific event on the calendar before you go.

Where to buy tickets

The school provides a direct ticket entry point on its homepage under the heading "Buy Tickets to our Music and Dance Events." Use that link as your starting point for ticketed performances.

• Ticketed events are the main pathway for the public.
• The site also lists a "View Full Calendar" option for browsing everything happening across the school.

If you are unsure whether an event requires a ticket, check the calendar listing first — recitals, concerts, festivals, and artistic performances are all grouped there.

How to find upcoming performances

The "Upcoming Performances & Concerts" section keeps a running list of what's next, including recitals, concerts, festivals, and artistic performances. The page shows a sample of upcoming dates:

To see everything beyond these examples, use "View Full Calendar." That is the reliable way to confirm dates, times, and whether an event is ticketed or free to attend.

What kinds of performances you can expect

The school's performance calendar reflects the breadth of its programs:

• Orchestras and concert bands
• Choirs and opera
• Jazz ensembles
• Athletic bands
• Global music and mariachi
• Chamber music groups
• Dance performances and showcases

With 45+ performance classes and ensembles each semester, there is usually something scheduled across the term.

If you are a student or non-major

Attendance is not limited to majors. The school states that performance opportunities exist for both majors and non-majors, and that dance is "for everyone." Non-majors can also fulfill a GE requirement through dance and find chances to perform. If you are considering participating rather than just watching, the site points to "Performance Opportunities," "Dance Opportunities for Non-Majors," and "Audition Chances to Dance" as entry points.

Practical steps before you go

1. Open the school's homepage and go to "Buy Tickets to our Music and Dance Events" or "View Full Calendar."
2. Find the specific event and note the date and time.
3. Confirm whether it is ticketed and follow the ticket link for that event.
4. Check back for updates — the calendar is the authoritative source for changes.

The site does not list prices, payment platforms, or login requirements on the page, so confirm those details at the ticket link for each event rather than assuming an event is free.
