GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS
Tickets will be available two weeks prior to the performance. Please check back early February.
Music Mondays is a free concert series with General Admission Tickets available through Eventbrite.
A ticket does not guarantee a specific seat. Seating is first come, first served. We want as many music-lovers as possible to enjoy Music Mondays, so we sometimes overbook concerts to account for no-shows.
Please arrive early. Eventbrite Tickets are prioritized until 7:20 PM, after which we begin seating the Standby Line.
Please have your Eventbrite Confirmation Email ready when you arrive.
No ticket? We welcome walk-ups via our Standby Line. We usually have space—though not always—so early arrival is encouraged.
