How to Access Fundraising Auction Tickets- The Criteria

In order to receive a family pack of 4 tickets to the Big Apple Circus for use as a fundraising tool, your organization must:

Be a certified 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
Serve the needs of children and families in your community.
Be situated within and serve the local community of a Big Apple Circus performance location. (To see a list of this year’s performance locations, visit Ticket & Tour info, or select a city from the drop-down menu in the on-line application form below.)

Note: There are some performance locations for which Big Apple Circus does not directly distribute the tickets. For those locations, you will need to contact the presenting organization directly.

Be holding a fundraising event involving a live or silent auction. We do not issue tickets to be auctioned on-line.
Be holding this event within the six month prior to our performance engagement in your city. We cannot issue tickets more than six months in advance.

Limited Availability - Some Applications Are Denied

The Big Apple Circus makes every effort to fulfill as many requests as we can. However, as a not-for-profit organization ourselves, we depend on ticket revenues to support our organization. Unfortunately, some eligible applications may be denied.

If you have any questions about Fundraising Tickets from the Big Apple Circus, please email Lauri Berritta in our Community Programs Department at lberritta@bigapplecircus.org.
