Party Tickets Going Fast! Get Yours Today!


Wow! We only have a small amount of $15 student tickets left for Saturday's Benefit Concert and Awards Banquet featuring Roots of Creation. Save money and ensure your spot at this amazing event. It's looking like the party will completely sell out.

SSDP is pulling out all the stops this one. Plenty of delicious food, 2 amazing live bands, live painting from Vorcan and we'll be giving awards to some of our best chapters, activists and supporters.

Don't miss out.

Student Ticket Price Reduced for Benefit Concert!

We can't wait to see you this weekend! We also can't wait for the party / concert / awards banquet that's happening Saturday night. And if you act quick, you can get a huge discount on your ticket.

Thanks to party sponsorships from the Berkeley Patients Group, Cannabis Buyers Club of Berkeley, and El Camino Wellness Center, we're now able to offer a limited number of discounted tickets to students on a first-come first-served basis! The next 100 students to buy tickets through our website will get them for just $15! After that point, the price will go back up to $25.

Remember, we'll be providing food at the event, so that's included in the cost of the ticket. And if you're under 21, it'll be hard to find anything else to do that evening, since we've booked one of the only all-ages venues in the city. The venue capacity is limited, so if you don't buy your ticket early, you might not get one at all.

Roots of Creation is going to bring the house down on at this party folks! We've also got well known Seattle natives Panda Conspiracy opening up with the funk and live painting from the masterminds of Vorcan!


 So what are you waiting for? Don't miss out on one of the most enjoyable, memorable nights of your life - buy your ticket now! http://www.ssdp.org/conference/party

See you soon!

*The $15 discounted rate only applies to current students.
*If you already bought your ticket for $25, we can refund you $10 at the party by request.
