Be sure to scroll down to read general information about visiting the show.
- Advance Tickets Right now, tickets are available on-site only, and can be purchased on the same day you wish to visit. Not all tickets are allocated for advance sales; a limited number of tickets are reserved for day-of admission.
- Day-Of TicketsDay-of tickets are available on site at SAM Downtown only. These tickets are limited in number, and sell-out quickly, so, depending on the crowd, you may only be able to purchase tickets for a timeslot later in the day. For example, if you arrive at SAM at 11:30 am, you may receive tickets for noon or 12:20, but if there was a mad rush that morning, slots could have sold out until 4 pm entry or later. Our best advice is to get here early and be flexible. Please know that we are working hard to provide the best possible experience for everybody!
- No Phone Confirmation We cannot confirm on-site ticket availability via phone. As much as we’d like to provide this service, we just don’t have the staff. The blog is the best place for up-to-date information.
- What about members? Will buying a membership get me a ticket?Members always receive priority access to on site tickets. Members can get their on site tickets at the Membership Services Desk, and avoid the longer, general ticket line. There will still likely be a wait, and you and will have to wait for the next available timeslot.
- While You’re Waiting… If you’ve got some time before your entry, download the audio guide and get a head start. You can get the MP3 files, podcast or a transcript here. You can also get a bite to eat at TASTE Restaurant, visit the SAM SHOP or stroll through the rest of the museum. Your Picasso ticket is valid for all of the SAM Collection Galleries all day. It also gains you free access to the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
