Slope Day Graduate/Professional/Faculty/Staff/Alumni Wristband Tickets

When you pick up your cloth wristband (May 3, 4, or 5), a volunteer will put the wristband on your wrist. You will be wearing your wristband until after Slope Day. Removing it will shred the fabric and deem it invalid. Wristbands are not transferrable or replaceable under any circumstances. When you pick up your wristband -- that's it! It's your one wristband.

Attendance at Slope Day and related events is limited to current Cornell students, alumni, staff and students. Recent Cornell undergraduate graduates from December 2025 are also invited to participate in Slope Day.

Graduate/Professional students can purchase their wristbands online. You must bring your Cornell ID and ViVenu QR code to pick up your wristband. You can only purchase one (1) wristband for yourself (this cost also includes four $3 food tickets).

To receive your wristband, you must:

You must reserve your wristband on CampusGroups prior to picking it up in-person.

You must purchase your ticket on ViVenu and show staff your confirmation QR code when you pick up your wristband.

Note: Graduate/Professional students must pay an entrance fee because their GPSA student activity fees do not pay into the overall Slope Day planning, whereas undergraduate student activity fees do.

We work closely with Alumni Affairs & Development to offer tickets to Cornell alumni! Alumni can purchase their wristbands online. Limited to one (1) wristband per person. Alumni cannot bring non-Cornell friends or family to the concert.
