PBS Fall Pledge Shows

[btimerson]

I have just been notified by my contact at WXXI in Rochester, NY that they will have their first Pledge show on Saturday, Nov. 27 at 3 pm.  They expect to have the new CD "Lullaby" as a gift option.

He said that if they hear of a nearby concert that they will then have a primetime show later in the pledge season at which time they may offer tickets.

Always soooo nice to not have such a long trip

You can say that again!!! LOVED going to Chicago last year as well as my other "long drive" Florida shows, but man was it nice to get back into my own bed as opposed to a hotel bed after the West Palm show last year.

I haven't contacted any of my PBS stations yet to see what they're doing, but it looks like it's going to be closer to December before we start hearing about tickets/M&G packages.

Go to PBS.org/stationfinder and select the station in your city/viewing area to get the address and phone number of that station.It is much better to talk to someone in their membership dept.in person than waiting for your e-mail to be answered.Tell them you want to make a membership pledge for the next CW drive coming up.They should be able to fill you in.You may have to check back a couple of times.Good luck.

It varies by city. FL has tons of different prices. Last year, Tallahassee was $365 for 2 tickets and M&G, Orlando was $750 for two tickets and M&G but I heard they lowered it to $600 because no one was buying (I wonder why  ) and I know Jacksonville had M&G but I don't remember what the cost was because I didn't attend. It really does vary quite a bit, and even changes year to year.

I want to thank everyone in this thread for reminding me to check my PBS station (WPSU).  End good grammar:

AHHHHHH!!!!  THEY'RE COMING BACK TO THE BRYCE JORDAN CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

End bad grammar.  They'll be airing Songs from the Heart on November 27th at 3:30.  They'll be offering concert tickets!!   

[Emily!]

WHOOOHOOO!!!! That's great news!!!!!

You got me very excited so I just sent a couple of e-mails to PBS stations that I usually pledge with or have pledged with in the past! I hope they'll have some initial info!

…and as we’ve discussed in the past (and I found out from experience) getting M&G tickets thru PBS doesn’t necessarily mean sitting in the first few rows for the show, especially at a venue that reserves the front section for its members,  or its own ticket distribution system. At 3 CW shows I went to this year the best seats could only be obtained thru the venue ticket office or special sales channel, not PBS.
