Michigan Tech Student Rush Tickets

The Experience Tech Fee includes Student Rush tickets to Rozsa Presenting Series, Michigan Tech Music, and Michigan Tech Theatre events for currently enrolled Michigan Tech students.

What is Student Rush?


"Student Rush" is a general term referring to discounted tickets to an event or attraction for those with student IDs. Michigan Tech Student Rush Tickets are sponsored by Experience Tech Fee, making events in the Rozsa Presenting Series, Michigan Tech Music Series, and Michigan Tech Theatre Series free or discounted to currently enrolled students and one accompanying guest.

How do I Reserve my Student Rush Tickets?

There are two ways to get Student Rush Tickets:

Advance Rush (Recommended): For events with reserved seating, students must reserve their free tickets in advance. To book, create an account and log in to the Rozsa's ticketing page using MTU Single Sign-on (SSO) student login credentials or contact the Rozsa Box Office for assistance.

Same-Day Rush: For general admission events, advance reservation is encouraged, but not required. Booking early guarantees your spot and helps prevent long lines at the entrance. Otherwise, same-day tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis starting one hour before the show. Events may sell out if you have not reserved tickets ahead of time.

Availability and reservation requirements vary by event. To see eligible shows, look for events labeled "Student Rush" and ensure you log in with your student account.

Some conditions apply:

  • Student Rush Tickets are available to events in the Rozsa Season labeled "Student Rush"

  • Current enrollment and a valid HuskyCard is required.

  • The line for Same-Day Rush forms outside the theatre entrance.
  • Students must be present with their own valid HuskyCard to receive Student Rush tickets.

  • A student and one guest can receive tickets with a valid HuskyCard (student must be present for guest ticket to be valid)

  • Same-Day Rush tickets become available 30 minutes prior to event.

  • Tickets are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

  • Seating for both Same-Day and Advance Rush is first-come, first-serve.

Creating a vivenu Student Account

Starting May 2026 the Rozsa and Michigan Tech Athletics will launch a new ticketing system, vivenu. While our main website, mtu.edu/rozsa remain your primary resource for the full events calendar, all ticket bookings will move to the new platform.

After June 1, 2026, Michigan Tech students can create their vivenu account using MTU Single Sign-on (SSO) student login credentials. Once logged in, students covered by the Experience Tech fee will be able to reserve their free Student Rush and guest tickets directly through the ticketing site.
