Community Tickets
Opening Our Doors
Connecting youth, families and underserved members of the community to the power of the arts is a truly remarkable experience. The Kauffman Center’s Community Tickets program offers reduced or even free tickets to help local social service agencies, schools and nonprofit organizations do just that.
Thanks to the generous support of our sponsor, Evergy, as well as donor support, we continue to positively impact individuals through the Community Tickets program.
Building a Community
“We so appreciate the opportunity that you give students to experience a state of the art venue and a world class presentations. Many of our students have never and may never again attend such a performance. They light up and feel so special from the moment they step off the bus to when the lights come back on. They information they learn is invaluable. Thank you so much for continuing to offer this to metro area students. We could not provide this to our students without the support of Open Doors and the discounted tickets.”

Kauffman Center Student Matinees
Student matinees cultivate a love for the arts in young people each season. The Community Tickets program subsidizes tickets for Kauffman Center Presents school shows bringing the cost down to $2 per person. This lower priced ticket opens the door for more students to experience incredible performances each year, many of which may not have had the opportunity otherwise.
Discounted Performance Tickets
The Kauffman Center is dedicated to making performances affordable for a wide range of diverse Kansas City populations, including students, senior groups, local educators and military service members. As part of the Community Tickets program, various ticket discounts are available for Kauffman Center Presents performances.
