  • On sale now: "Indigo Girls" coming in May 2026

    On sale now! The Anderson Center for the Performing Arts presents the "Indigo Girls" at Binghamton University on May 3, 2026. The performance will be live with the Binghamton University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jingqi Zhu.

    The power of unity, both in music and in life, has been an "Indigo Girls" calling card ever since they burst into the spotlight with their 1989 self-titled breakout album. Since then, the band has racked up a slew of Gold and Platinum records, taken home a coveted GRAMMY Award and earned the respect of high-profile peers, collaborating with artists ranging from Michael Stipe to Joan Baez. NPR’s Mountain Stage called the group “one of the finest folk duos of all time,” while Rolling Stone noted they “personify what happens when two distinct sensibilities, voices and worldviews come together to create something transcendentally its own.” The duo has balanced their long, successful musical career by supporting numerous social causes — the "Indigo Girls" don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk.

    Now, they bring their acclaimed orchestral collaboration to Binghamton, joining forces with the Binghamton University Symphony Orchestra for an evening of music that promises to be both powerful and profoundly moving.

    Tickets for the general public range from $65-85, with a 10% discount for groups of 10 or more. On sale now (along with the entire 2025-26 season) through the Anderson Center Box Office, online at the link below or by calling 607-777-ARTS (2787). Upon assessment of the weather forecast 10 days out from this show, lawn seating may be made available for purchase in April 2026.

  • BUC$ program to be discontinued

    BUC$, the optional student amenity that allows prepaid funds to be added to a student ID card to pay for certain University services, will be discontinued. This decision was made after a thorough review of campus needs and available technologies. The change allows a transition to more modern, flexible and widely used payment options across campus.

    As of Aug. 4, 2025, adding funds to a BUC$ account on a student ID card will no longer be available. Any residual BUC$ balances will remain available for use through May 29, 2026. Dining Services and the University Bookstore will continue to accept BUC$ during this time. Students may also convert BUC$ balances to dining dollars or request a refund by emailing BinghamtonMealPlanOffice.USA@sodexo.com or visiting the Meal Plan office in UU-B02. Students are encouraged to spend BUC$ balances this academic year. Changes to student printing quotas have been made.
