• Return unused tickets in advance whenever possible

Examples of appropriate ticket usage:

• Clients and participants in direct service programs

• Volunteers

Ticket Policy:
Music Connects tickets are provided free of charge and may not be sold, exchanged, auctioned, or distributed in return for money, goods, services, donations, or any other form of financial contribution, whether direct or indirect. Tickets may not be used as part of a fundraising effort, commercial transaction, promotional campaign, or public incentive.

Our goal is for at least 75% of tickets to be used for each concert.
