Subscriber Benefits 11/12
Free Exchanges up until 48 hours prior to the performance
As a subscriber, you get free ticket exchanges up until 48 hours prior to the performance if you find yourself unable to attend an event on your series. Single ticket buyers pay $6 per ticket for this privilege. Please Note: Within 48 hours and until one hour before a performance, UMS will exchange tickets for a $10 per ticket exchange fee (applies to both subscribers and single ticket buyers). Tickets must be exchanged at least one hour before the published performance time. Tickets received less than one hour before the performance will be returned as a tax-deductible contribution.
Value
Subscribers receive discounts of up to 19% over single ticket prices - and have access to the best seats in the house before they go on sale to the general public. In addition, subscribers have access to purchase additional tickets before the rest of the public.
Installment Billing
When you order your subscription before Friday, June 24, 2011, you can pay in three equal installments (credit card orders totaling $300 or more only). You will be charged on the date your order is received, the first week in July, and the first week in August. Donations to UMS that are included with your ticket order will be charged in full on the date received. Note: this option is not available with ticket orders placed on-line.
Free Parking
When you order at least eight events before Friday, June 24, 2011 you'll be eligible for free parking in the Power Center (Fletcher Street) structure.
Talk to Us!
Members of the UMS Programming Department will make themselves available to talk to individual subscribers and answer any questions about the artists in the season. Just e-mail umstix@umich.edu and a UMS staff member will contact you and to help you put together a series that will maximize your personal enjoyment of the season.
There are two types of UMS subscribers:
Fixed Package Subscribers subscribe to the packages that we've created, usually programmed by genre (e.g., chamber music or dance) or theme (e.g., the Global Series focusing on Performing Arts of the Asia). If you enjoy a particular type of event, this is probably the best option for you.
Monogram Subscribers create their own subscription of at least five events. You become the programmer and curate your own season, customized to your personal interests. If you enjoy a wide variety of arts events, or if you like to try new, unfamiliar things, this is probably the option you will enjoy the most. While not all events in the 11/12 season are offered for Monogram packages, you'll have plenty of performances to choose from, and you'll be able to purchase any number of tickets to each event - so be sure to coordinate with friends and family!
