Pay What You Wish
The Lawrence Community Orchestra offers Pay What You Wish tickets for the “Resolutions” concert. One of our founding values is accessibility, and we want to ensure that anyone who wants to experience the LCO has the opportunity. By removing cost as a barrier for entry, this new model is another step along the road to make our concerts accessible to everyone.
FAQs
Q: What does Pay What You Wish mean?
A: It means exactly what it sounds like! You set your own price when purchasing tickets to the “Resolutions” concert. $25 is our suggested ticket price.
Q: How does Pay What You Wish work?
A: On the LCO ticketing website, you will be given several options for ticket prices. You choose the price that fits your budget. From there, the process is the same as before for checkout and ticket delivery. You can also purchase tickets at our walk-up sales at the concert. However, if the event reaches capacity in advance, we cannot offer walk-up ticket sales.

A: With Pay What You Wish, this model eliminates the need for a reduced price, discounts, or tiered pricing, providing an equal opportunity for patrons from any financial background.

A: All money collected helps to pay our artists and support future concerts, and therefore we hope you will give to the extent that your budget will allow.
Q: How much should I pay?
A: We list a suggested ticket price for the concert, but you are welcome to choose any price level.
Q: Why have you switched to Pay What You Wish tickets?
A: Access is one of the LCO’s core values. By giving patrons the option to name their own price, we remove the financial barrier to experience great art. We hope you will support us in this new venture.
