Friday (10/5) on his Baltimore Sun blog Clef Notes and Drama Queens, Tim Smith writes, “A demographic highly coveted by most performing arts organizations—ages 21 to 40—is getting fresh offers this season from the Baltimore Symphony and Concert Artists of Baltimore. Priced at $75, the ‘BSO Passport’ will provide unlimited admission to 90 percent of the orchestra’s concerts for the remainder of the 2012-13 season at both Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore and the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda. Passport holders will be given the best available seats the day of the performance. ‘We recognized that, like many orchestras around the country, we were not adequately serving the young professional age-demographic,’ said Eileen Andrews, the BSO’s vice president of marketing and communications. ‘The BSO Passport seeks to bridge that gap and cater to the busy professional’s lifestyle needs.’ The passport will be on sale from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15 for those 40 or younger. Sales of passports and tickets will be handled only online, but tickets must be picked up in person with the passport and valid ID at the box office. Passport holders may purchase guest tickets for $25.”
