Patrons interested in purchasing season tickets should contact the Cole Box Office at (910) 410-1691 or stop by the Auditorium. Season tickets will be assigned in mid-August to patrons on the waiting list. Cole Auditorium Director Joey Bennett expects more season tickets to be available this year, but encourages patrons to contact the Box Office soon. Season tickets range in price from $100 to $130 each, depending upon the seating section.
"We are very pleased to be able to bring such high caliber performers to our area." Bennett said, "Many in our audience would not have the opportunity to enjoy these performers without the generous support of our patrons and our season sponsor, the DeWitt Family. Purchasing season tickets is the only way to guarantee seats to the headliner performances. We are expecting a sell-out for these bigger shows, but we currently have season tickets available."
In addition to guaranteed seating for all seven shows of the season, Bennett explained season ticket holders realize a cash savings versus purchasing individual show tickets, have the opportunity to renew the same seat for the 2011-2012 DeWitt Season (or to request an upgrade), and receive automated phone call reminders prior to the day of the show.
Bennett encourages the public to find out more about the performances by visiting the Cole Auditorium website (www.richmondcc.edu), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/coleaud), or by registering for the Cole Auditorium e-mail list. Cole Auditorium staff may be contacted by phone or by visiting the box office located inside the Auditorium during the college's normal business hours.
