Nutcracker Ticket Auction LIVE NOW!
November 12th - 16th |
Strandwood PTA is excited to announce our annual Nutcracker Ticket Auction. Starting now, you will be able to bid on the most valuable real estate that we have to offer - Front and Second Row seats at the Nutcracker Performance! Remember, each Nutcracker performer receives only TWO SEATS for his/her show. Due to the record number of students participating in this year's production and very limited seating in the Multi-Use Room (determined by the Fire Code) we have NO extra tickets to distribute.
We know that everyone wants to see this darling production, so no need to worry....we have a solution! Invite the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends to attend your child's Dress Rehearsal (as listed in your Nutcracker Information Pack).
Next, go to www.biddingforgood.com/strandwood/nutcracker and bid on the best seats in the house! Get those cameras ready!! If you are the parents of Clara or any of the other prinicpals, or if your little mouse is in the Nutcracker for the first time, you will want the best seats possible!
The auction is LIVE NOW. You will ned to register with Bidding For Good to participate, so please do that today. (You will then be ready for the Online Dinner Dance Auction come this spring, too!)
Thanks so much and good luck!
Up for auction are sets of (4) tickets, either in the first or second row, or on the aisle, and available for each show (two sets for front-row and 2 sets for second-row). Included with the tickets is a parking spot in the main parking lot, 4 cushioned seats, and a basket of goodies. Please note that if you are the winner of the auction, you will need to give up your "general admission" tickets. Please see auction website for more information.
