Tips & Advice
- Buy a separate ticket for Messiah even if you hold an Erie Phil season subscription, because this concert is not included in subscriptions.
- Seating is general admission within each section, so arrive early if you want to pick your spot in the Warner Theatre hall.
- Be in your seat in time for the prelude by the Youth Choirs, which comes before the Erie Philharmonic Chorus takes the stage.
- Students and children have their own ticket category, so ask for it when booking online, by phone or at the Box Office.
- Bring family and friends along, since the move to the Warner Theatre gives the hall plenty of room to share this holiday tradition.
