Free tickets for the upcoming Dalai Lama lecture will be available to students, faculty and staff starting at 9 a.m. March 4.
He will deliver the Wege Lecture at 2 p.m. April 20 at Crisler Arena.
University IDs are required for the general admission tickets, which are available at the Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO), 530 S. State St.; there’s a limit of two tickets per person.
Starting March 5 the general public can obtain tickets — up to two per person — by visiting the ticket office. In addition, tickets can be reserved by phone, starting at 9 a.m. March 5 by calling the MUTO at (734) 763-TKTS.
These high-demand tickets are expected to vanish by the time the ticket office closes at 6 p.m. March 5, says Helaine Hunscher, program coordinator for the Center for Sustainable Systems at the School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE).
“There has been a tremendous buzz surrounding the Dalai Lama visit, with requests for tickets coming from all across the Midwestern states and as far away as California and Australia,” Hunscher says.
For those unable to attend, a webcast will be available both in real-time and on-demand after the lecture. Instructions on how to join the webcast will be posted to SNRE’s Dalai Lama facts page at css.snre.umich.edu/facts/dalailama.html.
