In time for the holiday season, Saratoga Performing Arts Center is offering customizable gifts for music lovers through Dec. 31.
The 2017 holiday collection includes the ultimate classical season pass, which features a lawn seat for all performances of the New York City Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra and the opportunity to upgrade to the best available amphitheater seat for $5 for any performance, up to five times ($165 through Dec. 31); gift certificates that can be redeemed for tickets to any SPAC performance, Live Nation show or the Saratoga Wine & Food Festival; the flex ticket option for the Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival ($56 through Dec. 31); and holiday gift subscriptions to Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center at SPAC and Opera Saratoga.
“The ultimate classical season pass is the best kept ‘SPAC insider’ secret. What’s well known about these lawn passes is that they offer the opportunity to experience SPAC’s world-class programming for the entire classical season at an average ticket price of just $7 per performance, less than a movie ticket,” said Elizabeth Sobol, CEO of SPAC.
‘What’s not well known, and a terrific bonus is that classical season pass holders can also upgrade their ticket to best available seats five times per season, for just $5. It is our version of ‘rush’ ticketing and often results in fabulous amphitheater seats. And the pass holder can still attend all other concerts on the lawn.”
Sobol said, “Whether you sit on the lawn to enjoy a picnic with the exhilarating sounds of the Philadelphia Orchestra, or use the upgrades to witness the unparalleled beauty of New York City Ballet in premium amphitheater seats, the classical season pass is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to experience our rich and diverse classical programming.”
