Share-A-Seat builds community belonging and increases quality of life by allowing individuals to attend live symphony performances at no cost. Requests can be made in any amount but are limited to the availability of a particular concert. Organizations may request tickets for individuals or larger groups for our concerts scheduled for the 25/26 season.
The Rockford Symphony Orchestra is committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming experience that strengthens community connections and invites broader participation. As part of our strategic plan, we are setting aside 10% of seating inventory at every concert for Share-a-Seat and other access programs. All we ask is that you let us know how the experience impacted the attendees and allow us to list your organization’s name and logo on our Share-A-Seat webpage.
