The Amazing Websale

August 28th, 2009 by Sara M. K. Neal

Over the past couple of years I’ve found myself doing more and more of my shopping online. I mean, it’s easy and convenient, two things I prize, but the best part is having the luxury of online “window shopping” – it lets me learn about different products and compare different options, which is important to me.

For Utah Symphony | Utah Opera performances it means I can look through all the different concert pieces, soloists, and conductors and figure out which performances I’m interested in (and which performance my mom might like as a Christmas gift) and then buy my tickets. Sure, it’s easy for some people, but for me it’s a complex equation of weighing a Brahms symphony compared to a Tchaikovsky symphony, a classical piano concerto compared to a 20th century cello concerto. If I did all this thinking and comparing at the box office, I fear the people in line behind me would start to get seriously annoyed.

Because of my love for online purchasing, I’m happy to let you in on our Internet-only sale, which will start on Saturday, August 29 and run through Monday, September 7. For ten days only you can mix and match 64 different Utah Symphony | Utah Opera performances from September to May, and receive 20% off when you purchase at least three performances online.

There are a few of the performances that are excluded: An Evening of Beethoven, Play! A Video Game Symphony, Messiah Sing-In, and Carmen, but that still leaves 64 performances to choose from.

I think the 20% off makes it a really great deal. With the discount, you can get Utah Opera tickets for as low as $11 and Utah Symphony tickets for as low as $13. $22 for date-night at the opera? When I think of how much I spend on popcorn and candy at the movies, I’ll be spending less at the opera!

Excited to buy your tickets? Just visit the website between August 29 and September 7, and use the promo code “websale09” when you’re choosing your tickets. It goes in the promo box located above the different seating levels.

But remember to act fast – this offer will only be valid for ten days!
