Expired Free Show Passes

Do you have an old Free Pass to see a BATS show which has expired? Don’t worry! We’re extending all free passes issued in 2022 or earlier through Dec 31, 2023, so you have all of 2023 to use your pass.

If your pass has an individual code, please use our self-service page to reserve your spot at an upcoming show (even if your pass is expired – codes have been extended in our system).

Have a few passes and want to bring people with you? You can now reserve up to 4 tickets for a show using free passes. We recommend looking at our Shows page first to decide which show you want to attend.

If you have a very very old paper pass without a code, or if you try using your individual code and run into any problems, please contact bats@improv.org for assistance.

The BATS Main Stage Company performs every Friday and Saturday night at 8:00. Shows are either virtual or take place in BATS’ Bayfront Theater at historic Fort Mason Center in San Francisco’s scenic Marina District. Shows change every month.
