The prices this year are very LOW. But we hate Ticketmaster and Box Office fees as much as anyone and we thought, what can we do about that? And here's what we came up with: we'll pick up your tickets for you, mail them to you, and thereby save you that wonderful "convenience" fee ($3.80 per ticket and up). Here's how to do it:

That's it. All the convenience, without the fee (we are required, however, to still charge the $3.50 Gammage facility fee.This offer is only available through Tuesday, August 31 so we can mail them in time. So hurry! Note that, while you can specify your price level, we can't take specific seat requests. But we'll send you the best available seats and we'll do our best to keep groups together. You can still order specific seats through the Box Office, 480-965-3434, or at Ticketmaster.com.
