ESO Member Testimonials

“The ESO Membership offers great flexibility at an affordable price, and I enjoy hearing music from a variety of genres and time periods.”

“The monthly membership fee motivates us to go at least once a month. The $10 ticket price motivated us to go to more concerts per month than in the past.”

“I enjoy attending several performances and experiencing new series I wouldn't otherwise look at - the cheap ticket price lets me take a risk and be pleasantly surprised.”

One household can purchase up to eight Memberships. If your household has two people who would like to attend concerts together, you should purchase two Memberships in order to purchase seats for both people attending a concert.

You can purchase a ticket for any eligible Edmonton Symphony Orchestra concert at the Winspear Centre for only $10 per ticket plus service fees ($2.50 per ticket). This does not include ESO Specials, Live At The Winspear concerts, or concerts being hosted by other artists.

There is no limit! Your Membership allows you to purchase tickets for yourself for as many concerts as you like, at only $10 a ticket plus service charges. Remember, if you are planning on coming with a friend or partner, you will need one Membership per seat. All concert tickets are subject to availability.

You can’t use your Membership to purchase tickets for 2022 Symphony Under The Sky festival but please check back later for updates.

ESO Concerts at the Winspear Centre start October 7, 2022. Click here to view upcoming performances. The first concert that you can book Member tickets for is Bach, Vivaldi & Fireworks: The Joy of Baroque, taking place October 13 & 14.

Members may begin booking concert tickets on September 8, 2022, at 10 AM Mountain Time. If you pay for your Membership on or after September 8, please allow for up to 15 minutes for your Membership to be processed before you begin booking tickets. The regular on sale for the public begins September 15, 2022, at 10 AM Mountain Time.

Yes, your Membership will automatically renew in summer of 2023 unless you opt out prior to that. You can cancel your Membership at any time after you have paid for two consecutive months.

Memberships are non-transferrable. Any violations of this policy may result in the termination of your Membership. However, if you’d like to purchase a Membership for someone else as a gift, you may do so by contacting the Box Office at box.office@winspearcentre.com or 780.428.1414.

This year, your Membership payments cover October through June. You will be charged a $5 administrative fee for those months without ESO concerts instead of the regular Membership fee. If you choose a one-time payment, it also covers October through June (nine months). Sign up before October 28 to receive one month free!

After you have had a Membership for a minimum of two (2) months, you can cancel your Membership any time up to three business days before your next payment is due, in order to give us time to process your cancellation. However, if you have any tickets booked for upcoming concerts, you will need to pay the difference between your Membership price and the regular ticket price within 72 hours of cancelling your Membership. If you don’t pay to upgrade your tickets, your seats will be released, and the cost of the Membership tickets will be refunded to your original method of payment.

You may either renew your Membership for the month that you have purchased concerts in, or you may pay the difference between the Membership price and the single ticket price.

For example: if you cancelled your Membership in December but had already purchased tickets for concerts in January, you would have to pay the difference in price for those January concerts. You would not be charged an additional amount retroactively for any concerts that you attended prior to December.

This evolved Membership first launched in August 2021 and remains the same for this season. It does, however, work differently than the Memberships offered in 2020.

Yes! Anyone may purchase both a Membership and subscription. This is an excellent way to see not only your favourite series but also concerts in other series, while saving money.

Members may exchange their tickets into other eligible ESO concerts. To do so, please contact the Box Office at box.office@winspearcentre.com or 780.428.1414.
