Ticket Series
When you register or pick up your preregistration materials at the Midwest Clinic desk, you will have the opportunity to select a ticket series. Each series will include tickets for nine band concerts. (Orchestra, jazz, and chamber concerts will not require tickets.) A limited number of each series is available. Throughout the conference, a ticket exchange booth will be open in the Hilton’s lower lobby, across from the Midwest Clinic registration desk. If you have a ticket for a concert you do not plan to attend, we ask you to drop it off at the exchange booth. If you wish to see a concert that is not part of your package, you can exchange one of your tickets for an available ticket. High school, middle school, and elementary school students will not be issued tickets. Anyone who wants to attend a concert for which he or she does not have a ticket can wait in the holding line for available seats. Available seats will be filled from the holding line ten minutes prior to the performance time.
