UPDATE AS OF MARCH 19, 2020
As the University continues to adjust to the COVID-19 Coronavirus situation, the health and safety of our students and community remain our top priority. The University, following the direction of Governor DeSantis, has decided to deliver classes online for the remainder of the spring semester. In addition, the University has implemented restrictions on gatherings of 10 or more, adhering to the most recent CDC guidelines.

We will be offering refunds for the base price of all tickets. We are thankful to those of you who have asked about converting your ticket purchase into to a tax-deductible donation to the FSU Circus, this is indeed possible.
