How to Book

The booking form – available from here – gives you the opportunity to book for the concerts in the Subscription series and/or the ever popular Christmas Charity Concert and/or the Family Concert on 19 November.

On Saturday 13 August we will allocate the subscription series seats and Christmas Charity Concert bookings, though bookings remain open after that date.

Not a Subscriber?

If you are not a subscriber but would like to come to one of the concerts in the series, all you have to do is to ring our Membership Secretaries 2-3 weeks prior to the date. It is possible to obtain tickets at much shorter notice.

Please ring  01539 722533  preferably before 8.00pm. Of course we cannot guarantee availability, but we will do our best.

Can’t Come to a Concert?

This system only works when subscribers kindly tell us if they cannot come to one of the concerts.  We cannot give refunds for the subscription concerts, but can sell the seats on behalf of the Society. Please ring the number above as early as possible.

Season Ticket Prices

The seats in the Grand Tier are £80 and those in the rows at the front (the Area) £70. This is unchanged from last season. We are happy to offer a 50% reduction to those who are 18 years and under. Because of  higher postage and other costs the Membership Fee is increased to £7.

The Christmas Charity Concert seats cost £14. Tickets for the 19 November concert cost just £3 for those 16 & under; £5 for adults

Tickets for the excellent BBC Philharmonic and Hallé concerts will go on sale when we publish our newsletter in November. Grand Tier Seats will be £23 and Area seats £18.

Booking Arrangements

Subscription Concerts

Please use the booking form to be found here....  On Saturday 13 August 2011 we will allocate subscription seats. Existing subscribers should note that no reminders will be sent!  If you make a decision after that date, still send your booking form and cheque(s) and we will do our best to help. Existing subscribers will generally be allocated the same seat(s) as last season unless you write a differing request to us; this is not guaranteed however as there is a limit to the number of aisle seats!

Payment for the season tickets can be made in two instalments by enclosing two cheques with your form instead of one. The first will be currently dated and will include the Membership Fee(s), half the cost of the Season ticket(s) and the cost of the Christmas Charity Concert. The second, post-dated to 1 January 2011, will cover half the cost of the Season ticket(s).

Booking for the BBC Philharmonic and/or Hallé

In the second part of November we will send to everyone on our mailing list confirmed details of these two excellent concerts.  The newsletter will carry the booking form.  Act quickly, tickets usually sell within a couple of weeks!

Gift Aid

We are most grateful that so many subscribers, who are automatically members of the Lakeland Sinfonia Concert Society, indicated that we can claim Gift Aid on the Membership Fees.

In addition many people who bought tickets for the Christmas Charity  Concert allowed us to claim Gift Aid on that portion of the ticket price that makes up the  contribution to the charities - approximately half the amount. 

If you pay Income or Capital Gains Tax at least equal to the tax we reclaim (currently 25p in the £), please tick the box on the booking form.Thank you.
