DONOR TICKETING BENEFITS: Silver Dress Circle donors and up ($1,500+) work with our convenient Donor Concierge to purchase tickets. Tickets in the premium seating section (covered pavilion seats in sections 2 &3) are held and reserved for donors at Gold Dress Circle and up ($3,000+). Donors at these levels need not worry about the presale ticket windows. Tickets in the premium seating sections are not released until all donors at the Gold Dress Circle level and above have processed their ticket orders.
