Colorado Symphony teacher discount

Yes, the Colorado Symphony has a teacher discount. Educators with a valid ID can get $10 to $15 tickets, plus fees and taxes, to Classics concerts and dozens of other select concerts at Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver. You use the promo code LISTEN when you buy. Regular tickets at Boettcher start at $20 and can run up to $131, so the teacher price can save you a lot on a good seat.

The Colorado Symphony is the region’s only full-time professional orchestra. It has eighty full-time musicians and plays more than 150 concerts a year, most of them at Boettcher Concert Hall in downtown Denver, plus concerts across Colorado. Along with the classical season, it plays holiday shows, movie nights where the orchestra performs the film’s score live, and concerts with guest artists from all kinds of music.

How To Get The Colorado Symphony Teacher Discount

  1. Pick a concert. Every Classics performance qualifies, along with select concerts from the Alternative, Holiday, Movie at the Symphony and Spotlight series.
  2. Before you choose seats, enter the code LISTEN.
  3. Choose the Student/Teacher Discount price type when you pick your seat.
  4. Bring your educator ID. Advance tickets are picked up at Will Call at the Box Office, and you’ll need a valid ID for each discounted ticket.

You can buy online, over the phone or in person. It’s one discounted ticket per valid ID, so a friend or partner who isn’t a student or educator pays the regular price. If you need several discounted tickets, call the Box Office at (303) 623-7876. Homeschool groups without IDs should call that number too.

The teacher tickets are only in price levels 2 and 3, and there’s a limited number for each performance, so buy early. They don’t work for the Family, Imagination Artist or Summer series, or for concerts outside Boettcher Concert Hall. Someone who uses a teacher ticket without an educator ID is asked to pay full price at the door.

Other Ways To Save At The Colorado Symphony

  • Bringing your own kids? Tickets for children 12 and under are $10, plus fees and taxes, for select concerts, and every child needs a ticket.
  • Going with a group of ten or more, like a few colleagues from school, gets 20% off select concerts, and the Symphony helps with buying and handing out the tickets.
  • Sign up for eNotes, the Symphony’s weekly email, for exclusive discounts and promotions.
  • Prices go up as a concert gets closer, so buying early gets you the lowest price and the best seats.

If you teach music, look at the For Educators page too. The Symphony runs Youth Concerts, Open Rehearsals for music classes and ensembles, and a Student Matinee series during the school day, and it offers a free package that includes the Lift Every Voice Youth Concert and a bilingual concert program for very young children. Its Educator Insider email covers music education grants, paid fellowships and professional development.
