Digital Tickets
We are excited to announce the CBUSArts Digital Ticket Wallet, a new level of convenience and security for your tickets!

This offers a safe and easy way to receive, manage, and share your tickets with guests while reducing the ability for stolen or counterfeit tickets. No more stress over how to print at home, running out of ink, or misplacing your tickets, and no apps are required.
Three Simple Steps to Access Your CBUSArts Digital Ticket Wallet:
- Log into wallet.cbusarts.com with the same username/email and password you use to purchase tickets from CBUSArts. A link to your wallet can also be found in your order confirmation and ticketing account.
