Macky is a largely self-funded unit of the University of Colorado Boulder and does not receive direct funds from student tuition or fees.

Costs vary depending on the type of event, but will generally include these seven categories:

1. Facility Rental

The Facility Rental Fee varies depending on whether it is a University event or an event produced by off-campus promoters. Another factor is whether there is an admission charge. Pricing is available for a 2,040Ìýseat configuration (Orchestra/Main Floor plus Loge/Balcony) or a 1,325 seat configuration (Main Floor only). Multi-day event rental prices available.ÌýMacky does not usually provide partial day services; instead, Macky isÌýavailable through the day(s) necessary for the event to be successful, and will include –if applicable– set up/sound check(s), rehearsal(s) and performance(s).
