This means we are sold out of both general admission and member tickets. Once the event is advertised as SOLD OUT, tickets are not available for members. Please consider this when purchasing or renewing a membership. If you are a Camellia, Magnolia or Azalea member who was unable to reserve tickets online, you can use your additional GUEST PASSES which were included in your membership packet to attend the concerts. Consider these already reserved concert tickets as they were included in our sold out ticket count.
All active members were notified three times via email and on our website beginning in April 2021, regarding ticket reservation dates. Due to high demand for local events and a 200% rapid membership increase throughout the decline of COVID, we did have to cap our concert tickets. All of our concerts are SOLD OUT at around 2,000, tickets. This is the number of people we can safely and efficiently host onsite for any event. If you were unable to secure 2021 Concert Tickets, we hope you find value in your many other membership benefits, which can be found HERE. If you do not find value in any of our other benefits and would like a refund for your membership, please contact us at airlieinfo@nhcgov.com. Thank you for your kindness and patience during this unprecedented time. We will be reevaluating membership benefits for the 2022 season.
