You will need to "pre-"purchase your tickets to reserve your time slot. To ensure social distancing between guests, your tickets will only work during the time slot you purchase. To get your tickets:
First, attempt to refresh the tiket sales page. If after you refresh it still doesn't recognize you, you may have a duplicate account. Please contact the membership department at membership@redbutte.utah.edu to merge your accounts. If you need immediate assistance, you can call the Visitor Center at 801-559-0556 to reserve your tickets.
To get your member-priced tickets you must be registered for our site AND logged in. The discount shows on the final page, right before payment is requested.
If at this point your discount has not been applied, please contact us at membership@redbutte.utah.edu so we can ensure your online account is set up correctly.
If it is your first time registering, ensure you use the same information associated with your membership - name, phone, address, email, etc. Otherwise, the system may create a duplicate account not connected to your membership. If you believe you have inadvertently created a second account, don't fret! Just email us at membership@redbutte.utah.edu and we will get it corrected.
This system is different from Ticketfly - the website where we used to sell our concert tickets. If your credentials are not recognized, it is likely you do not yet have an online account with us. Go ahead and register a new one using the same information associated with your membership.
Each time slot only has 30 spaces. If the system is not allowing you to add the number of tickets you are requesting, the slot is nearly sold out. Please try a new time slot.
You can get up to ten tickets per transaction as space allows, but will be required to pay for any tickets above your regular membership allotment. Your credit card payment for the difference will be taken at the end of the transaction
Email information@redbutte.utah.edu and they can help you cancel or change your reservation. If changing your reservation, please include the new time and date you'd like instead in your email. Staff will work with you to book those times or others, in case your first choice is sold out.
Each Sunday, we will release new dates for visiting the Garden to members only, before we open them to the public on Monday morning. Just check in here every Sunday to get the first choice of all new visitation openings.
Call 801-585-0556 and Red Butte Garden staff will assist you in setting up a time to visit using your benefits.

With Garden budgets significantly impacted by the pandemic, we are dedicated to conserving resources wherever possible. In line with this effort, we will not be sending new cards with your updated expiration dates. Your current cards and membership login will continue to grant you access to the Garden until your extended expiration date.
When the Garden reopens there will be a limited number of tickets available for purchase each day. To get your tickets, you will need to be registered on our website and logged in at the time of purchase. Similar to the process of registering for classes, logging in connects your transaction to your membership, giving you access to Members' exclusive events and discounts.
You will go through the process of purchasing tickets to visit the Garden and at check-out see your member discount reflected.
Your automatic renewal will change to your new expiration date. For example, if your automatic renewal used to run on 4/30 it will now run on 7/31.
Red Butte has alerted our Retail Partners to the membership extensions. Please save the email we sent you containing your new membership expiration date to use with Retail Partners after your card expires. If you need a new email, get in touch with us at membership@redbutte.utah.edu
We can help! Shoot us an email at membership@redbutte.utah.edu and we will change your expiration date right back to where you like it.
You will not! When you renew you will get a full year of membership in addition to the extension. If your extended expiration date is 9/30/2020 then your renewed expiration date will be 9/30/2021. Thank you for your support!
