With the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art<\/a> opening in Exposition Park this fall<\/a>, residents who share the South L.A. ZIP code will be able to visit for free with a new pass, officials announced Thursday.<\/p>\n Some members of the community will also be invited into the museum for a preview day a little more than a week before the Sept. 22 grand opening.<\/p>\n Other tickets are going up for grabs starting next week, with members of the museum getting priority access before general admission opens to the public the following week.<\/p>\n CEO Tracey Bates told LAist the 300,000-square-foot building feels comforting, intimate and familiar once you walk inside. Its collection represents more than 40,000 works<\/a>, and Bates said it platforms artists you may have never seen in a museum before.<\/p>\n Let us help you find the most interesting things to do<\/p>\n Sign up for the Best Things To Do newsletter, our twice weekly roundup of L.A.’s most interesting events.<\/p>\n \u201cI think as an Angeleno, the sheer love of what this city is built on \u2014 storytelling, filmmaking, illustration \u2014 is something to really come and take in,\u201d Bates said. \u201cAnd hopefully inspire you to become a creative when you leave us.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you need to know to get in.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Neighborhood pass<\/p>\n Angelenos who live in the museum\u2019s 90037 ZIP code will have exclusive access to the \u201cLM37\u201d pass, which allows free tickets to be reserved for themselves and one guest.<\/p>\n A portion of tickets will be set aside for passholders for the opening and beyond, according to officials.<\/p>\n The LM37 program launches in August. Those interested in registering for the pass should sign up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n There will also be a special community preview day on Sept. 13 for partners, local business owners and civic leaders. Officials said tickets to the preview day will be handed out through local government officials, community partners and directly to registered passholders.<\/p>\n \u201cWe really wanted to make sure our neighbors were some of the first people through the door to thank them,\u201d Bates said.<\/p>\n Priority access<\/p>\n Founding members will get the first shot at snagging tickets, starting with the highest tiers.<\/p>\n People who got the Insider<\/a> membership for $375 and Alliance<\/a> membership for $600 will have access to tickets starting at 10 a.m. July 14.<\/p>\n Priority tickets will be open to all members by 10 a.m. July 15, including the $140 Access<\/a> tier and $270 Social<\/a> tier.<\/p>\n Members will also get a preview from Sept. 5 through Sept. 11 before the museum officially opens to the public later that month.<\/p>\n You can find more membership information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n General admission<\/p>\n General tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. July 21. Visitors will be able to reserve a spot from the opening date through the end of next February.<\/p>\n Adults will cost $25 and people aged 65 and older will be $21.<\/p>\n All tickets are timed entry, and you can share them with your party if you buy more than one. You\u2019ll have to create an account to accept and access the shared ticket. Whoever purchases the tickets will be required to keep at least one in their account, according to museum officials.<\/p>\n Tickets for children, founding members, active-duty military, personal aides or attendants and EBT cardholders will be free.<\/p>\n Bates said one of the key missions of the museum is inspiring the next generation of storytellers, and the free options help get as many people through the doors as possible.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just want to make sure that nobody is limited to come to the museum and enjoy what we hope the museum will inspire in everybody,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n You can find more ticket information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n More to come<\/p>\n More tickets will be released once museum officials get a sense of how the first several months sell, and next year\u2019s programming will also be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n Bates noted that the 2028 Olympics<\/a> will bring in visitors from around the world. She said that if people\u2019s first trip to South L.A. is for the Lucas Museum, she hopes they will come back and spend time in the rest of Exposition Park, including the Natural History Museum<\/a> and California Science Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the wealth of cultural events that are going to be happening over the next two years, the Super Bowl<\/a> and LA28<\/a>, there’s just so much going on,\u201d she said. \u201cWe’re just very proud to be a part of this rich history of Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to secure Lucas Museum of Narrative Art tickets ahead of the fall opening With the Lucas Museum…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":753908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,229,88,12472,3031,323185,5295,13092],"class_list":["post-753907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-george-lucas","tag-los-angeles","tag-mellody-hobson","tag-star-wars","tag-tickets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=753907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/753908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=753907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=753907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=753907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
