To our loyal SFEMS subscribers!

As you may have seen, we have big news about ticketing for this coming season. We're taking a bold leap to fill our halls for our beloved concerts with a new "pay-what-you-can" ticketing model. If you have friends and family members for whom you know this will a game-changer in having them come to SFEMS concerts, please let them know.

However, to make this sustainable, we need your help! Consider buying a regular subscription, as in the past, or a pay-it-forward subscription to help us become everyone's portal to early music in the Bay Area.

Our subscription prices this year are similar to our discount packages in the past.

Our mainstage, five-concert subscription is $215, and our mainstage + special-event, seven-concert subscription is $315.

However, if you can afford it, please consider a pay-it-forward subscription at a premium ($325 and $475, respectively). Your premium subscription will go directly to ensuring that we can make the advertising efforts necessary to build a new community of concertgoers.

Help us invest in creating a sustainable ecosystem for early music by bring in people curious to hear what “early music” is all about. It’s an investment in building a future where the past and the present can meet and enrich each other—where early music can be enjoyed, here and now, by anyone.

If you wish to purchase multiple subscriptions, please select your desired number of seats per concert/venue and at checkout, you cart will automatically update to the amount of subscriptions as number of seats selected. Please note that the number of seats selected must be consistent across concerts.

As a subscriber, you'll have the option to choose from the best seats in the house within our assigned subscriber seating section.

If you encounter any difficulty with our new ticketing or subscription portal, please contact our patron services manager at tickets@sfems.org and they will do their best to assist you.
