TICKETS
Do nominees get a comp ticket?
As a benefit of GMA membership, Nominees receive one complimentary ticket for themselves located in the Diamond section reserved for nominees, on the floor nearest the stage. There is one comp ticket max, regardless of multiple nominations.
To access the ticket order form, a membership login is needed. We invite nominees who are not GMA members to join now and support the Dove Awards program.
How do I bring a guest?
Nominees may order one guest ticket to be seated with them at the discounted rate of $220 (normally $240). Additional tickets may be purchased at regular rates.
Can I give my comp ticket to someone else?
Tickets are intended only for the use of the specified nominee and are non-transferable. Nominee seat assignments are provided to TBN for camera shots. They must be used by the named nominee.
What if I am also performing or presenting?
Performers and presenters will receive two comp tickets. If nominated and performing/presenting, comp tickets may not be combined. Two comp tickets maximum are provided.
How do comp tickets work for a band/group?
For band/group members who are royalty participants in the band, each member receives a comp nominee ticket. Hired musicians/players with the band will need to purchase a ticket to attend.
How do comp tickets work for a choir?
For choirs who are a nominated artist, up to four comp tickets will be given. Additional requests will be decided case-by-case.
Do you automatically hold my tickets?
