Bulk ticket discount sales are final and can’t be adjusted or refunded on arrival. This discount does not extend to youth tickets and can’t be combined with other offers.

Please note, this offer is different from a group reservation. Bulk ticket holders receive an e-mail with each ticket in a multipage PDF attachment that can either be printed out or scanned off a mobile device before entering. Bulk ticket holders enter at the Huntington Avenue Entrance and should be aware that a short wait outside the entrance might be necessary while our staff organizes ticket scanning and entry.

Onsite bus parking and private guided tours are not available to bulk ticket holders. To expedite entry and take full advantage of your time in the galleries, we recommend not bringing backpacks, large bags, or food, which may require a wait for the public coat check.
