MEMBERSHIP

Friends and Members provide the continuity and financial support which are vital to the success of the Music Festival. Non-members wishing to buy tickets will be made temporary members for the duration of the Festival but are not entitled to benefits.

Subscriptions can be paid online – see below for booking dates – and are eligible for Gift Aid. Having subscribed, Friends and Members will receive a personal voucher code for buying concert tickets, as below.

Friends:
Friends have two weeks’ priority for booking tickets. They are invited to the annual Friends’ Champagne Reception and Recital on Sunday 2 August. It is free of charge and provided at no cost to the Festival. The annual subscription is £35 for one person and £50 for two people at the same address. Booking for Friends opens on Monday 18 May.

Members:
The annual subscription is £15 per person. Members have one week’s priority before general booking opens and they become ordinary members of the charity, the Great Comp Music Trust. Members’ booking opens on Monday 25 May.

Buying membership and buying concert tickets must be on separate orders. After opening an account and buying a subscription, members will need to log in again with the same details to use their priorities from the respective dates.
