Special Concert Announcement

Donors Receive First Access to STING

Two Nights Only – July 17 & 18

We invite you to become a donor or renew your support to be assured of Pavilion seating for Sting at Ravinia

Secure your seats for what could be the biggest event in Ravinia’s history. Ravinia’s donors always receive priority in accessing the best tickets to Ravinia concerts, and top priority is given to our most generous supporters. These landmark evenings promise unprecedented ticket demand from our donors.

Please be aware that due to this demand we may only be able to fill orders for Pavilion seating at the Marquee donor level and above in the quantities listed below. We invite you to renew or upgrade your support at the following levels to be assured of Pavilion seating.

• Marquee ($1,500 - $2,999): Two tickets
• Opus ($3,000 - $5,999): Two separate pairs of tickets
• Guarantor ($6,000 - $9,999): Four adjacent tickets
• President’s Circle, Chairman’s Circle and Sponsors ($10,000 and above): please call (847) 266-5461 to learn about ticketing opportunities at these levels.

Once priority ticket orders from these donors are completed, orders from donors at the Affiliate, Patron and Friend levels will be filled, space permitting (maximum two tickets per order).

Orders for additional tickets will be accommodated, space permitting, only after filling requests at the quantities above.

There are many other benefits to becoming a donor at these levels, including priority parking, ticket discounts, and our Donor Concierge Service. Moreover, donors make possible Ravinia’s mission of sustaining the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, maintaining our beautiful and inviting grounds, and bringing music into schools and communities through our Reach*Teach*Play education programs.

Become a donor now or renew your support today to be certain you don’t miss out on the concerts everyone will be talking about this summer, then return March 8 when tickets go on sale to Ravinia’s donors! Once orders from Marquee donors and above are completed, orders from donors at the Affiliate, Patron and Friend level will be filled, space permitting.

Don’t be fooled by ticket brokers and scalpers offering Sting tickets now. Ravinia has not sold any tickets to anyone. In fact, the best way to secure your place at the Sting concerts is to become a Ravinia Festival donor. For the amount of money you’d spend with a re-seller (and in many cases, far less), you get the opportunity to purchase tickets before the public sale. And that’s just one perk; others could include priority parking, priority seating and priority dining opportunities. Plus, your contribution helps the not-for-profit put music instruments into the hands of children, sustain the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and keep our venue safe and beautiful. Please note that Ravinia is not affiliated with any ticket-brokers or secondary-market ticket-sellers, and the festival has not released any of its inventory to such sellers. Sites advertising Ravinia tickets are doing so on speculation.
