ESO Memberships

A Standard Membership is $34 a month, and a Premium Membership is $59 a month. Your Membership (both kinds) allows you to purchase a ticket (one seat) for as many eligible Edmonton Symphony Orchestra concerts as you like for only $10 per ticket, plus service fees of $2.50 per ticket.

A Standard Membership costs $34 a month and allows you to buy tickets in the mid-range Price Levels. A Premium Membership costs $59 a month and allows you to buy tickets in the top Price Level, Level 1, as well as lower Price Levels (excluding Price Level 5). Premium Members also receive additional Membership benefits, such as a 10% discount on all Musical Creativity courses.

One Membership equals one ticket/seat per concert.

A Standard Membership allows you to purchase seats in Price Levels 2, 3 and 4 for Great Symphonies and Pops concerts, and Price Level 2 for New Music and Symphony for Kids concerts.
A Premium Membership allows you to purchase seats in Price Level 1, as well as all of the Price Levels open to Standard Members.

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.

At this time, a Membership cannot be used to purchase tickets to Symphony Under The Sky. Starting in 2022, if you have an active Membership for the month that Symphony Under The Sky is held, you’ll be able to purchase tickets for eligible Symphony Under The Sky concerts.

ESO concerts at the Winspear Centre begin October 1, 2021. As we closely watch the province’s Covid-19 case counts, we will be releasing concert information in stages. Click here to view the Fall schedule for October and November.

As soon as your Membership is processed (please allow up to 15 minutes after you complete your purchase), you may purchase tickets for any eligible ESO concerts that have been announced. Members will be the first to find out when new concerts have been announced and will have early access to purchase tickets.
If you do not become a Member, you can start booking fall concert tickets as of September 8, 2021.

We’re pleased to offer monthly payments. Your first months’ payment is due at the time of your purchase. Your second payment will be charged to your credit card on file on November 1, and on the first of each month thereafter. If you sign up after November 1, 2021, your first payment is due at the time of your purchase and your second payment will be due on the first of the following month.

Of course! If you pay for your entire Membership from October through to June (nine (9) months), you will receive a 10% discount. You can pay in full online with a credit card, or in person at the Winspear Centre Box Office with cash, debit or credit. If you would like to make monthly payments, they must be made using a credit card. If you would like to pay in person at the Box Office, please email box.office@winspearcentre.com or call 780.428.1414 to set up an appointment.

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 to June. Your monthly payment will be put on hold for the month of July if no ESO concerts are scheduled and will resume in August for Symphony Under the Sky.

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.

Yes, this evolved Membership launched in August 2021 and is designed to offer patrons excellent value to enjoy your Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. The new Membership offers even more flexibility and affordability by allowing you to purchase tickets for concerts in any genre, for the date and time of your choosing – and concert tickets are only $10 each!

Since we are operating at a reduced capacity due to COVID-19, we’re unable to offer a subscription for the 2021-22 ESO Season. We will resume subscriptions for the 2022-23 season.

Your usual subscription seats may not be available this season due to limited capacity and the addition of physically distanced seating in some performances. Members receive first access to booking seats. If you had a subscription in 2019/20, you will have priority access to subscription seats for the 2022-23 season.

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.
