The Friends Priority Points Presale is the opportunity for Friends of Convos to purchase tickets for a season before the general public.

The new process for the Friends Priority Points Presale starts with the 2025-26 season. Friends of Convocations will choose their own seats before the general public via a Ticket Purchasing Window. Your Priority Points will determine when your Ticket Purchasing Window will open. Priority Points are primarily earned by giving to Purdue Convocations. Learn more here. Friends may now choose to immediately download their tickets to their phone or choose to receive physical tickets by mail.

Purdue Convocations is a self-supporting organization, and your purchase of tickets and generous gifts power it all! 

NEW: As an exclusive benefit of your Friend of Convos membership, you will be assigned a specific Ticket Purchasing Window date and time based on your Priority Points, which will allow you to select your seats for each performance and purchase your tickets online using the interactive seat map. Once your Ticket Purchasing Window opens, it will not close. Upon purchase checkout, you will also be able to choose whether to download your tickets immediately to your mobile device or have physical tickets mailed to you for a small fee.

The Friends Priority Points Presale will occur after the season announcement in May 2025. You will receive a postcard with your Priority Points total as of April 30, along with your specific Ticket Purchasing Window to purchase. Gifts made on or by Purdue Day of Giving (April 30) ensure your points are maximized for the Friends Priority Points Presale this May. Priority Points earned after the April 30^th deadline will not change the date and time of your Ticket Purchasing Window. If you have questions, please reach out to friendsofconvos@purdue.edu. Don’t miss out—your support powers it all! 

You earn Priority Points through your generous gifts to Purdue Convocations. The more you give, the more points you accumulate, giving you earlier access to choose your seats. Every dollar donated helps since Convos is self-supporting—your tickets and gifts power it all! 

Donating or renewing your membership on or by April 30 during Purdue Day of Giving boosts your Priority Points, locking in your points total and ensuring earlier access to the Friends Priority Points Presale. It’s a great chance to maximize your impact and support our self-supporting mission! Join or renew your membership today.
