Today the Bacchanal committee released information regarding this year’s ticketing policy. In case you weren’t here for last year’s (lupe) fiasco, Public Safety limited access to the concert to only 4,000 undergraduate students at a cost of $7/ticket, the first time the committee charged to attend the concert.
This year’s concert will still be limited to only 4,000 undergraduate students in CC, SEAS, GS, and BC, but tickets are free. Students are limited to reserving one ticket on a first-come, first-serve basis, and any students who reserve more than one will be at the risk of losing all tickets. The name used to order the ticket must match the name on the CUID or BCID used during pick-up.
Tickets will be released in four waves of 1,000 March 24-28, not including the 27th, via Eventbrite. Tickets will be released at 11:30am, 6:00pm, 11:00am, and 8:00pm on the respective dates.
For more information, check out the official press release from the Bacchanal Committee below!
The Bacchanal Committee is excited to announce that Bacchanal is 12 days away so we will be distributing tickets this week!
Tickets are free and only one ticket is permitted per undergraduate student from Columbia College, Columbia Engineering (undergrad), General Studies, and Barnard College on a first-come, first-serve basis. Any student who attempts to order more than one ticket will not be refunded and will be at risk of losing all tickets. The name used to order your ticket must match the name on your CUID or BCID. Please do not attempt to order two tickets. Tickets are non-transferable.
Please mark your calendars for the ticket release dates which will take place Thursday-Monday(not including Sunday) of this week and the beginning of next week.

@Anonymous guys i’m gonna key prezbo’s car who wants to join in
@Anonymous Last year was the worst Bacchanal by far, and by the looks of it this one won’t be too far behind it. The people guarding the event were such a* holes and ruined all the fun. Macklemore isn’t a great performer the crowd and hype made up for it.
@huh > Tickets are free
> Any student who attempts to order more than one ticket will not be refunded
> not be refunded
> refunded
@Secret Insider Insider here, the headliner is JP.

@Protip WE GOT A$AP FERG
@Anonymous I know tickets are free but I and many others would be willing to pay money for extra tickets so that we could have guests from out of town come to the concert that had already made plans to come! This has been allowed every year and I don’t understand why it has been forbidden this year.
@Anonymous The problem with distributing extra tickets doesn’t stem from a lack of funds, but from an imposed 4,000 person cap on the event. Starting last year the new fire marshall, via input from the administration, introduced a 4,000 person cap on Bacchanal, and the Bacchanal committee has decided that Columbia’s 10,000 undergrads should be entitled to these tickets ahead of guests or grad students, given that it is with undergraduate student life fees that the concert is funded.
@hmm have they not released the headliner because they don’t have one yet…? this seems suspicious
@Johnny Depp Throat Oh joy
@bwog can't read why does it say bacch is charging 7$ ? They literally said the tickets will be free…
@Anonymous “This year’s concert will still be limited to only 4,000 undergraduate students in CC, SEAS, GS, and BC, but tickets are free.” apparently you can’t read
@Anonymous Who needs reading comprehension once you’ve got your 800 on Critical Reading?
@BC 2013 Sorry this sucks so much – I hope you all are able to find a more fun way to celebrate all your hard work this year!!! Don’t let Columbia win the war on fun :)
