Join the Club

MusiClub members get access to:

Before you join

  • If you would like to play on a classical piano in building 568, please contact the Jazz Club.
  • Please inquire about the availability of our locales. We have many bands playing, and we want you to have a realistic idea when the rehearsal rooms are actually available before you pay a membership fee (check the Rooms and Equipment section).

Fees

CERN Staff Association

Annual fee: 50 CHF

Reduced rate for summer students: 10 CHF

Your membership is usually valid until the end of the year and there is no pro-rata discount for subscribing during the year. But, if you join from 1st of November onward, your membership will be valid until the end of the following year.

NEW: Members of the CERN Staff Association can get a 10 CHF refund. Thus, if you are a fully paid MusiClub member for this year, and you're a member of the Staff Association, and you would like the discount applied, then please e-mail a scan of your Staff Association member card together with your complete bank details to music.club@cern.ch and ask for your 10 CHF refund.

Membership

Please note that everyone playing in your band has to become a member of the MusiClub.

Please don't forget to renew your membership for the following year before the end of the year. Please add the name of the band and the name(s) of the band members in the comment field of the bank transfer and please send a scanned proof of payment to music.club@cern.ch with the name of the band and the name(s) of the band members.

There are several reminders and there is a grace period for renewing your membership. After that, the bookings made in advance are cancelled and the access to the booking sheet is revoked.

IMPORTANT: we strongly suggest to make the transfer from a Swiss account or, failing that, as a direct cash deposit at the UBS counter. International transfers to our account (including Revolut, etc) can incur significant bank fees which you will be asked to cover.

Next, please e-mail a scan of the proof of payment to music.club@cern.ch and we’ll get back to you with your new username/password, sign you up on our mailing list, provide you with information about accessing the locales, etc.

Access for external members

If you do not have a CERN badge, you will need to get an external access card. The external access card allows non-CERN employees to gain access to the locales and music events on site.

  • You will need to ask for an External Access Card by e-mail to music.club@cern.ch, specifying your full name as stated on your passport or ID card.
  • You will receive by e-mail a link to a form. Please fill the form completely, include a PDF scan of your passport or ID card (recto-verso). If you have any questions about the form, please contact us at this same address.
  • Once the secretary has received the completed form, it will then be sent to the Staff Association for final approval and to the access service.
  • After a few days, it will be ready for you to pick up at building 55, just outside Entrance B gate. You must visit during working hours to collect your access card.
  • Once you have your card please send us your person ID (the number underneath the barcode at the bottom of the card) which is required to grant access to the electronic locks.
