Some Other News and Info! It s Even More Important This Year to Get Your Tickets in Advance...Why? The Lively Arts is assuming the management of our ticketing system, previously handled by the Student Cooperative Association. One big change in our operation will be to make single tickets for all series events this season available on August 29. That s great because it will make it much easier for everyone to get tickets whenever they want, 24/7. But that also means that unless you get your subscription now, the best seats will continue to disappear, especially for the most popular shows. And they will be more expensive. So, don t wait until the only seats left are in the back rows or even worse, none at all. So, subscribe now! Extra Special Discounts Groups: Do you have a group of 15 or more wanting to attend one of our events? Just contact us, and we will give you a discount of $2 on each ticket a savings of at least $30 off your order. Youth Experience Special: Are you a teacher, scout leader, or youth group coordinator and want to organize a trip to one of our shows? We would love to have you and have designed a special savings plan for youth groups. For every 10 student tickets purchased, your group will receive one free regular ticket for a chaperone. And if your group brings 15 or more students, you will also receive the $2 per ticket group ticket discount. That could be a savings of up to $78 or more. Plus, we will throw in a ticket for the bus driver. Lively Collaborations Does your non-profit organization need a new and different and entertaining way to raise funds?
