TeenTix LA, the youth-focused program connecting teens to Los Angeles’ cultural scene through $5 event access, has announced two upcoming events to spotlight its growing TeenTix Pass initiative. Open to all teens ages 13–19 in the Southland, the events aim to expand the program’s free digital passholder base from 4,600 to 6,500 by the end of 2025.
The TeenTix Pass—available at no cost—grants holders access to performances, exhibits, and screenings at over 35 top cultural institutions across Greater Los Angeles, including Center Theatre Group, Geffen Playhouse, The Soraya, Pasadena Playhouse, Skirball Cultural Center, and the Wende Museum, all for just $5 per ticket. Companion tickets are also available, allowing teens to attend with friends or family.
