Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets early, because the orchestra warns these holiday performances are popular and sell out.
  • Pick your performance carefully before you buy, because all ticket sales are final and there are no refunds.
  • Park in a downtown garage and follow the walkway on the west side of Nassau Presbyterian Church to reach the auditorium's red stone building.
  • Bring children 3 and older with you, since youth tickets are half price when bought with an adult ticket.
  • Look over the sing-along lyrics before the concert so the whole family can join in on the carols.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Youth tickets are half price with an adult purchase, for children 3 and up.
  • Group rates and other discounts are available through the orchestra's Discount Programs.
  • The Princeton High School Choir joins only the Princeton performances at Richardson Auditorium.
