Ordering a Value Permit in Advance

Make sure to allow two weeks for processing.

Complete the value permit order form or call Special Events at (608) 262-8683.

They will mail you the permit(s).

Obtaining a Validation Ticket

The validation ticket lets the holder exit the ramp without paying.

The tickets can be used in the ramp next to Russell Labs (Lot 36), and four other lots* if Lot 36 is full.

* See the Alternate Lots section below.

Before the visitor arrives, the host should:

  • See the receptionist in room 237 to get a validation ticket.
  • Let the receptionist know if you want the validation ticket placed in the PI's mailbox.
