Where and when do I buy tickets???
Tickets for each season go on sale May 1st. You can purchase tickets from the Rozsa Center Box Office in Houghton, MI (in person, by phone or mail, or online) or at a number of local ticket venues. If tickets are still available the night of the event, they will be sold at the door. Some exceptions do apply (Chippewa Club Gala and Keweenaw Kickoff Gala).
Do you offer any discounts on ticket prices?
Absolutely! You can receive a 10% discount for purchasing a block of ten or more tickets to a single event. If your ticket order is from $12 to $249, you may deduct $12. If your ticket order is $250 or more, you may deduct $25. (*Discounts may not be combined: Gala Events are excluded.) We also offer special rates for children and students. All children/student tickets are $10.
What should I wear?
Concertgoers attend in everything from jeans to dresses, shorts to suits. Feel free to wear comfortable clothing from casual to dressy - the performances are great no matter what you wear!
Are concessions available at performances?
It depends on the venue. Some venues, such as the Rozsa Center, offer concessions before the event starts and during intermission. Other venues, such as the Calumet Theatre, offer concessions only during intermission. Some venues do not offer concessions.
