This season, in addition to single ticket sales, the Gaillard Center is offering a handful of ticket packages that allow you to see multiple shows, if not all eight of them. If youʼre thinking of going all out, subscribers get access to the best seats and discounted bites from Cafe 95, too. If youʼre still unsure of what youʼd like to see, purchasing a Make Your Own Series subscription allows you to pick and choose what stands out to you.

If you choose four, six, or eight shows from the bunch, youʼll even get 25 percent off the regular season, single-ticket prices. To break it down, if you choose all eight shows youʼll be saving up to $200, which isnʼt too shabby.
