Sponsor tickets are $150 apiece and include a pre-concert reception and preferred seating. General Admission tickets are $40 apiece. The grounds open at 5:30 p.m. for a reception and at 6 p.m. for general seating. The music starts at 6:30 p.m. Picnics are welcome. As always, there will be on site bar service.
