FESTIVAL TICKETS

2020

The WSSC has received a nice allotment of tickets for the 2020 festival. You may enter the drawing by selecting the correct option to the right and pressing the button to secure your place(s). Upon winning, your deposit will be used toward the balance of your full payment*. The final amount will be posted, once the tickets are invoiced and exchange rate calculated (this should be done by approximately November 2019). If you win, you are committing to pay the balance within 7 days after you are notified and invoiced. You may pay the difference by check or credit card. Criteria: • You must be a current 2020 member of the WSSC (you may select the option with basic membership fee included). If you are applying for more than one person, each must be a member (two per application is the maximum).  If your significant other or friend is not a member, you may add the $75.00 membership fee to your entry amount or prior to applying select the “Member” option from the navigation bar. Membership fees are non- refundable. (If you do not win an allotment seat you deposit will be refunded.) • Other option: You may go directly to the Festival website and apply yourself (you still must be a WSSC member to access our allotment), especially if you desire a different set of dates (we normally attend the last cycle). There are no guarantees if you apply in that manner. • IMPORTANT: You may NOT apply through multiple societies, nor privately apply and also through a Wagner Society. The Festival will open an account with your personal information and apply a personal ID number to you, whether you apply personally or through a Wagner Society. Thus, only ONE ID number per person. Last Cycle: Meistersinger, Tannhäuser, Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, Götterdämmerung, (possible: Beethoven’s 9th) [Highest Possible Pricing $3,395.00 - based on current exchange rate. (This will vary as exchange rates do, and once we receive the actual allotment prices will be adjusted.) If you have any questions, please call @ 626-310-3070 or you may email: djm@wagnersociety.us. *All entries are on a first come first serve basis. (Tickets are available in sets only.) Ticket pricing is based on the previous year’s most expensive orchestra seating (only to give a proper expectation), which are the first seven rows of the opera house. Pricing will be announced in October 2019. Pricing includes VAT, processing fees, “Gala Dinner” and a 20% donation to the Festival/Freunde for good relations and to assist with WSSC expenses. (Dinners and lodging are additional.) A block of rooms will be reserved by the WSSC at the Bayerischer Hof Hotel to make reservations easier for you (it is not mandatory to loge at that location). IMPORTANT NOTE: If you win the drawing and for some reason cannot attend the Festival, you will be responsible to pay for your tickets and it will be your responsibility to sell the tickets or give them to another party. In addition, if you do sell or give your tickets, you must notify the WSSC immediately with the name and information of the person(s) so we can contact the Festival with the changes and let them know they are a part of the WSSC group. (The Festival will charge a fee for the name transfer.) As part of the total pricing, admission to the Gala Dinner is included with a personalized ticket(s) which will be sent to you via email.
