The name of the Ticket Office has changed to the “Box Office”

The Messiah University Box Office is utilizing a new ticketing software called PurplePass. Students now have the ability to purchase one (1) MU student ticket per event online through PurplePass with a credit or debit card. The ticketing system requires a valid student ID number in order to get the discounted student rate. We will continue to offer full-service help at the Box Office window for those wishing to purchase tickets with cash, check or Falcon Dollars. We hope that this change allows for greater flexibility and access to purchase tickets for events on campus.

Likewise, department budgets are not to be allocated to stocking breakrooms.
