Theme parks, buses, Movies, (AMC Silver/Gold), Football tickets, you name it they have it. You don't have to be a UCLA student to buy a lot of the tickets however if helps if you have your bruin card. As a proud UCLA Alumni I still buy all of my AMC Silver tickets here for like 7 bucks. Yep. I'm a cheap ass. Though, all you gotta do is wait 10 days and bam you saved yourself half that cost. Happy Trails! *THIS PLACE CLOSES AT 4PM SHARP.............................................. I can't even tell you how many times I've raced on over here and gotten here at 4:15 and been SOL (That's SHIT OUTTTTTTTTTTA LUCK) read more

Why get ripped off by Ticketmaster when you can pick up your ticket directly from the source? I can't stand the ridiculous fees the agencies charge you just so you can attend a concert or sporting event. I picked up my tickets for UCLA football and paid face value. You just drive down Westwood Blvd. and turn left into lot 8 and park on the upper level. You do have to pay for parking but it's still cheaper than Ticketmaster and UCLA gets the money rather than a middleman. The only downside is the traffic on the 405 and on Wilshire Bl. I would try to go between 11 and 2 when traffic is just bad rather than insane. GO BRUINS!!! Maybe stop off for a peanut butter and jelly or banana donut at Stan's donuts since your next to the village anyway? read more

Good place to save a few bucks on discount tickets. It may just be a couple dollars, so while it isn't too much of a difference than buying at the establishment, if you're buying a large quantity, the savings can add up. Keep in mind they can also run out of tickets as well. read more

UCLA Central Ticket Office - Free Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches today - Ticket Sales Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I should've taken advantage of this place much sooner. With discounted tickets to theme parks, movie theaters, shows, sporting events, and even the Catalina Express, the Central Ticket Office offers great deals. Located close to the sports pavilion, and about a 5-10 minute walk from the hospital, it's easy to get to and very easy to find with the signage. I went in the mid-afternoon and there was no line. The window attendants were helpful and courteous both on the phone and in person. They didn't ask to see any form of ID and they accept cash or debit cards only ($0.75 charge for debit cards). read more

UCLA Central Ticket Office - Lots of discounted tickets - Ticket Sales Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This ticket office offers many discounted theme park tickets for students AND the public. They sell tickets for movie theaters, theme parks, bus cards, UCLA events, etc. However, they no longer sell Disneyland tickets. The customer service is very satisfying. I've been helped by many window employees such as Valentina, Cindy, and Danielle. They definitely know what they're doing and are very quick with helping customers. I've also been helped by their phone employees and they have always been able to help me get the tickets I want. They open their phone lines and windows exactly at 10am. Make sure to give yourself enough time to call or go to the windows because they do close promptly at 4pm. read more

I honestly did not know of this place until my winter quarter of freshman year. The tickets for various events are extremely great deals as a student. I always go there to get tickets for most of the UCLA events that require them, such as the "My Last Lecture", "Spring Sing", cultural nights, among many others. The people in CTO perform the work very quickly and accurately, and they are very professional and friendly. It is one of the great perks of being a Bruin! read more

You can't beat CTO's discount prices, ranging from small to steep discounts off of retail value. I've gotten all of my movie theater and amusement park tickets from here for 15+ yrs now, it is not just for campus events. Movie tickets are always cheaper or the same price as Costco, and you aren't required to purchase a minimum number like at Costco. Go to www.cto.ucla.edu to see their prices for everything; their website is always updated to the most current pricing. Remember, they accept CASH or DEBIT CARD ONLY, never credit cards. And there's a less than $1 service charge if you use debit card. Also, anyone can walk up to the windows to buy tickets, they don't ever ask for a UCLA ID! (The only exceptions are specific UCLA events that are open to UCLA students/staff only). read more

Parking to get here can be a nightmare. $3 an hour pay by space. $8.50 gold AMC tickets $7 silver AMC tickets Discounted theme park tickets here as well. Cash or debit card only. $.75 charge for using debit card. read more

update, Daniela helped me get my refund and even followed up with my as she promised to make sure it all went well. She investigated the issue and was very polite and patient and kind! I still lowkey hate CTO tho but I appreciate her read more

(: Boba-Foodaholic Says :) Traveler's NOTE! Definitely, this is the place for buying activity tickets. Seriously, I didn't know this place even exists, but after searching through places, you should buy tickets here! If you are driving with two people, just one person to go get the ticket, because it is not worth a buying a parking ticket, unless you are going to go around UCLA. It is really inside the campus. We had to ask several people for the place. When we finally find it, we were afraid that people will check the student ID for purchasing. However, luckily they didn't check the ID and was easily purchasable. Definitely coming back here for buying any other tickets. read more

UCLA Central Ticket Office - Cheap and fast lines! - Ticket Sales Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Super helpful, lines can get crazy for huge events like Spring Sing but they're definitely very fast! It's much faster though, if everyone just pays with the exact cash or by card, of course. And I love that the CTO sells discounted - barely, but it still helps - tickets to Disneyland. Also, for the UCLA football rooter bus, you have to buy your bus tickets with cash and by the Thursday before the game. And quick tip for buying tickets for UCLA events - you always need a Bruin Card, but last I remembered, you can buy 4 tickets with 1 Bruin Card. read more

In a safe, easily accessible part of campus just behind Pauley. The lunch line gets pretty long, so try to come around 11:30am to beat the rush. I like that it's walking distance from the UCLA Medical Center shuttle stop. They have good deals on bus passes for students and employees. They should open more windows during lunch. There are usually only 2, which can't service the crowd fast enough. read more

UCLA CTO is the best place for students to purchase the ticket. I am currently taking some classes and was trying to buy discounted tickets for Universal Theme Park. Here is the good place to stop by. At the same time, when I stopped by here before the class semester starts in the afternoon, there was only one person waited on the line. Super fast and convenient. The purpose for them to set a time limit and open Mon-Fri: 10-4pm is mainly for students who studies on campus or lives around UCLA community; otherwise, everyone all wants to buy a cheaper ticket even the one who is already having a job and not a student anymore. If you can't make this time frame or don't want to be part of the unlucky persons, waiting on this such stupid line, then the best way is to go onto their websites to purchase the ticket by using your UCLA ID / email address to log in (if you have). If you don't have UCLA ID to log in, why not pick a day to stop by. read more

If you are ever looking to buy discounted tickets for movies or theme parks, the UCLA CTO is the place to go! You pay cash and get the tickets right away so you don't have to worry about buying faked ones like on Craigslist or Ebay. There are lot of selections of theme parks and discounted places: Some of them are -Aquarium of the Pacific -Disneyland -Legoland -Knotts Berry Farm -Six Flags Magic Mountains -San Deigo Zoo -Sea World Best of all, these discounted prices are available to everyone, not just UCLA students. To get a better idea on the ticket prices, just go on www.tickets.ucla.edu. Getting to the CTO is easy, just park your car Parking Lot 6. It is very close to the James West Alumni Center. read more

CTO is one of the perks of being a Bruin! You get discounts on all types of tickets (theme parks, movie tickets, bus passes, etc.) This is the place to go when you wanna save a few bucks or more on a specific theme park. I just bought a Disneyland 1 day, 1 park pass for $90 ($92 on disneyland's website). I suggest you do some research before you decide on where to buy your tickets. The only down side is you have to pay in CASH (they charge you 75 cents if you use debit cards). It get busy during football/basketball season or when the clubs on campus have cultural nights (shout out to my VCN tradasses!) read more

It's super convenient being able to pick up tickets from a location on campus. I'm always leery of getting tickets I've ordered from ticketmaster/live nation/etc through regular mail; my mail is often "lost" at the apartment address I use. So for a few extra bucks a ticket I pick them up in person at my leisure from this location. (You can usually pick up tickets at any retail location, but this one's on my campus so it's super easy). The line always seems to move fast here, and each transaction has been a piece of cake. Great thing about ticket offices on college campuses- college educated workers who make transactions go smoothly :) read more

Does have discounts but oftentimes the staff is incompetent and can't get you a straight answer without wasting 5 minutes of your time. Can be hard to find at first. Does however give away free tickets to events and has a wide selection of entertainment venues :) read more

UCLA CTO is an office which sells tickets to events which are often on evenings and weekends. Then why isn't it open evenings and weekends? Over my five years at UCLA I have been stymied by them numerous times because they are not open weekends or after 4. Furthermore, the wait is usually excessive, especially around graduation time. There are eight or ten ticket windows, usually one or two are staffed. Going there feels like going to the DMV. Yes there are discounts and yes there are cheap disneyland tickets and whatever but there needs to be some sort of easily selectable online or mail option. read more

Overall, the staff is friendly and helpful, and they are usually students. They are very accommodating when it comes to special circumstances. The only drawback is when things are very busy and a line develops. read more

Only giving an additional star because ***some*** of the employees here are very sweet and helpful. If it weren't for them, then this would be a 1-star review. There are student employees here with serious attitude problems who need to stop working in customer service immediately. I witnessed an employee roll her eyes and then turn to her co-workers to make rude gestures about a guest who had approached her to ask a question. The guest did not notice this because she had already walked away. Unfortunately for that employee, I was the next person and line and saw it all happen. :) How do you have the audacity to act like that in front of a line of customers? Unprofessional and obviously not a nice way to represent UCLA. Disrespectful employees like that are the reason most people stick to online ticketing services. I'm sure my computer screen won't roll its eyes at me when I need to buy tickets for something. Besides this incident, there is a major lack of communication at CTO that needs to be improved. I hope they hire friendlier and more patient employees who actually know how to work well with the public. read more

Gives me good deals! Unfortunately, the hours don't fit my schedule so it is difficult to buy tickets through the ticket office. They also charge a fee if you don't pay cash. That's the only negative thing about the ticket office. read more
