To get tickets (called credentials or shareholder badges) for the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, you must be a shareholder of the company. Here are the main ways to obtain your tickets for the 2025 meeting:
- Pre-order via the Annual Meeting Credential Request Form:
This form is released with the proxy documents around mid-March (for 2025, it was available since March 14). You can request up to four tickets for free by filling out the form legibly and mailing it to Berkshire Hathaway in Omaha. If you live outside the US, include your country to ensure safe delivery. Tickets will be mailed to your home within a few weeks. This is the recommended way to avoid last-minute stress and long waits
- Buy tickets on eBay from the official Berkshire Hathaway account (brka_b):
Tickets are available for purchase for about $5-$6 each plus shipping fees. This option is convenient but costs money and requires planning for shipping time, especially for international shareholders. Only buy from the official account to avoid overpriced reseller tickets
- Pick up tickets in person at the meeting (Will-Call):
Shareholders can pick up their badges on-site at the CHI Health Center Omaha lobby on Friday or Saturday before the meeting by showing photo ID and proof of share ownership (broker statement, app screenshot, etc.). This option may involve waiting in line and is less convenient, so pre-ordering is preferred
Additional notes:
- You only need to own at least one share of BRK.A or BRK.B stock to qualify for tickets.
- The ticket is a badge worn on a lanyard that grants access to the meeting and shareholder-only events and discounts.
- Tickets enable access to the meeting, exhibition hall, and discounts at affiliated stores during the event weekend
The 2025 Annual Meeting will be held on May 3, 2025, at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska
. In summary, the best way to get your Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting tickets is to fill out and mail the Annual Meeting Credential Request Form as soon as it is available, or buy from the official eBay account if you miss the form deadline. Otherwise, you can pick up tickets on-site with proof of share ownership and ID.
