Message from the Box Office
We have an exciting promotion that has been approved for our upcoming concert, The Gospel Spirit. We need your help getting the word out about this incredible concert!
Promotional Offer
As usual, we have Early Bird pricing, which offers $5 off each ticket’s regular price through February 15, 2020. In addition to this discount, we are offering a very special promotion: buy one ticket, get one (BOGO) FREE! To receive this offer, orders must be placed no later than February 15, 2020 (during the Early Bird pricing promotion).
Also, it’s important to understand the free ticket will be of the same value as the purchased ticket. For example, if you purchase a Senior ticket, you will get a second Senior ticket free or if you purchase a Child ticket, you will receive a second Child ticket free, etc. Ticket levels cannot be mixed for this promotion.
Starting February 16, 2020, orders for tickets can still be placed using our $2 off per ticket Friends & Family discount code: 19-04-FANDF. The BOGO offer DOES NOT APPLY after February 15, 2020, so please encourage everyone to buy tickets early to take advantage of this first-ever offer!
Concert Flyer
To let others know about this concert and this special offer, you can print your own copy of the updated concert flyer by accessing it here, or pick up pre-printed flyers at next Monday’s rehearsal.
