CAP UCLA PASSPORT:
 HOW DOES IT WORK?

• For $20.00, you will receive all six Anchor Destinations (two
  in Fall, Winter, and Spring) which will be loaded on your Bruin
  Card. Bring your BC with you to the theater on the night of
  the show. There will be a special PASSPORT Check-In Table.
  We will swipe your card and give you a ticket with your seat
  location. You will get a reminder email before each show
  asking you to RSVP. In order to claim your ticket you will need
  to RSVP by the deadline. PASSPORT Check-In opens an hour
  before each performance. If you lose or forget your actual
  PASSPORT, no worries—the tickets are on your Bruin Card.

• You can choose 2 additional shows from the Side Trip List
  each quarter. When you RSVP, you will need to confirm your
  ticket(s) by paying $5.

• Friends Fly Free! If you would like to bring a friend with you,
  RSVP for you and a guest. The limit on Friends Fly Free tickets
  is one per show, but the regular UCLA Student Ticket price is
  only $15. If you purchase a Side Trip show for $5, your friend
  comes for free: that’s two tix for $2.50!

  travelers and learn about the artists. On special occasions,
  there will be bonus activities: art-making, talks, free
