NEW for 2015/16, the VICO Season Flex Pass allows you to purchase advance tickets without having to decide on the spot which concerts you wish to attend.
Flex Pass holders are guaranteed seats at any of the concerts listed below. Upon purchase of your Flex Pass you will receive 3 or 6 vouchers, which can be redeemed for tickets to any combination of eligible concerts.
For example, if you purchase the $70 Flex Pass, you will receive 3 vouchers, which you may redeem for 1 ticket each at 3 different concerts, or for 3 seats at one concert, or for 2 seats at 1 concert and 1 seat at another...and so on. Similarly, if you purchase the $120 Flex Pass, you will receive 6 vouchers to redeem as you wish.
Seats will be held for Flex Pass holders at each concert. You do not need to redeem your vouchers in advance; simply bring your voucher(s) to the concert(s) of your choice for guaranteed admission.
In addition to giving you the gift of flexibility, this Season Pass is a steal of a deal! Regular ticket prices for the concerts listed below are in the $20-$30 range ($10-$20 for students), so $70 for 3 is a significant discount...and $120 for 6 is even better.
Flex Passes make great gifts! When you purchase online, you will have the opportunity to specify if you intend to make a present of the Pass, and to give us the name(s) of the intended recipient(s). We can even send you a personalized certificate (fancier than the automatically-generated receipt) for you to pass on if you wish.
