BACH FAQs

Ticket & Concert FAQs

How do I buy tickets?

You can purchase tickets at the door using either cash or check (made payable to BACH). Sorry, we cannot accommodate credit card payments at the door.

To buy tickets in advance, or use a credit card, purchase tickets online through Humanitix. Check here for the ticket link for the concert(s) you are interested in attending. You can show your ticket on your phone or print it out.

Please note: Humantix charges a convenience fee for purchasing tickets online. BACH does not receive any portion of this fee. Humantix donates 100% of profits from the convenience fee to charity.

What ticket discounts do you offer?

BACH offers a discount price to students, whether in grade school or graduate school. 

What time do the doors open for concerts?

Doors open 30 minutes before the stated concert start time. 

Are there restrooms/water fountains/concessions at the concert?

BACH usually uses local churches for our performances. There are always restrooms, but the number and location depend on the venue. Likewise, access to water fountains depends on the venue. Most churches have them, but some do not.

BACH does not sell concessions at concerts, but sometimes we may have a reception or afterglow that audience members are welcome to attend. Check your concert program to see if such an event is taking place for your particular concert.

Is there an intermission?

This varies by concert. Shorter concerts may be performed without an intermission. 

What do you mean by free-will donation for the Messiah Sing-along?

BACH is honored to host this beloved annual tradition. We do not charge a ticket fee for this event, but there are still expenses involved — from printing fees to paying soloists. To help offset these expenses, BACH gratefully accepts donations at the door or online.
