The street party starts 8 a.m. Saturday and opens the box office with free food and music to people who want to buy a sub- scription series tickets to upcoming Chico Perfor- mances shows. The box office will sell subscription tickets to a se- ries of five shows in which people can choose the events they want to attend. People can pick shows from Chico Performances, the North State Symphony or The School of Arts. Sea- son subscribers will receive a 10 percent discount on purchases. "We said, 'Wait, these are our hardcore artist sup- porters. Let's get them mu- sic and food and put up a tent and shade'. That went really well last year and this year we're doing it again," said marketing co- ordinator Daran Goodsell, Chico State University Pub- lic Events marketing coor- dinator. It's a treat for dedicated patrons and gives people the ability to purchase a subscription to a series of performances, she said. "We're rewarding our regular, good patrons with this event," she said. Similar to last year, people in line will be as- signed numbers so they are able to enjoy free food and live music while waiting to be called to purchase tickets. The subscription sale event has been a 20-year tradition but it wasn't until last year when Chico Per- formances decided to bring out the tents and give peo- ple free food, music and free CDs. "People wait at midnight and wait outside," Goodsell said. "Last year we had 50 people on the sidewalks. There are people who are pretty hardcore who want to be on row six (during a show). Some of these peo- ple buy tickets for April. "Some of them want re- ally good seats so they're willing to hang out. So, we said, 'Lets help them with tickets.' We put in time and effort and budget and ev- erybody loved it." The event was well re- ceived last year, prompt- ing Chico Performances to throw another party again this year where they antic- ipate about 250 people will attend, Goodsell said. "These people are the ones who really want to see (the shows)," she said. "They know where they want to sit and it's equi- table in that 250 people in this community will know what they want to see in the next nine months and purchase tickets in ad- vance. Those people are interested in the arts and we're committed to serv- ing them." Although the event en- sures that the early birds will be guaranteed seats for the big acts, Goodsell said people will still be able to buy tickets later during the season. "Some well-known art- ists wait and book a cou- ple months out," she said. "We're going to add more big names in the middle of the season when they decide to book. Last year, we added five big acts so we're probably going to do it again this year. People still have the ability to buy to every show." The main stage will be set up in front of the Chico State University Box of- fice off of Third Street be- tween Chestnut and Nor- mal streets and will be closed down to traffic. There will be live music from local musicians Mi- chael Bone and Kyle Wil- liams and food from the Associated Students cater- ing for those purchasing tickets. Single tickets to individ- ual shows will start selling 10 a.m., Aug. 17. For more information on the Saturday event, visit www.chicoperformances. com.
