Purchasing Tickets to UCSB Department of Music Events

UCSB Mobile Ticketing via the AXS App

UCSB is moving to mobile ticketing via the AXS app! AXS Mobile ID digital tickets are tickets you use with your phone—like e-tickets or mobile tickets from an airline or movie theater—and they make getting in easier than ever. 

  • Download the free AXS Tickets app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. 
  • Select "AXS Mobile ID" as your delivery method when buying tickets (it’s free!). 
  • Simply show your tickets on your phone using the AXS app to enter the venue.  

See below for more detailed instructions on how to purchase tickets, use your tickets to enter an event, and transfer tickets. Print-at-home tickets are no longer an option and paper tickets will no longer be sold at the door.
