Accessing Museum Member Benefits
How do I receive my membership discounts?
Log in to your membership account to receive all of your benefits. After clicking “Buy Tickets” on our website and moving to the ticketing page, you will see the option to sign into “My Membership” in the upper right-hand corner. Enter your membership number and click “Verify.” You’ll be taken back to the ticketing page and see the adjusted ticket prices.
Note that signing in activates your membership discounts. For help with tickets that you have previously purchased, please contact boxoffice@rubinmuseum.org.
I am signed into my membership, but I am still being asked to pay full price. Why is that?
If ticket prices have not adjusted, it may mean that there are no further discounts available for those tickets. It is also possible that your membership has expired. Contact membership@rubinmuseum.org to determine the status of your membership.
