The Spokane Symphony this week announced a surprise subscription deal: half-price subscriptions for new subscribers.

Or even former subscribers, as long as they were not subscribers for the 2010-2011 season.

This offer, which expires on Labor Day, means that new subscribers can get the entire 10-concert Classics season for $110 to $160 per seat.

Yeah, that’s a ridiculous bargain.

The introductory prices for the six-concert SuperPops package now range from $148.50 to $99. The three-concert Casual Classics package runs $27 to $42.

Why is the symphony doing this?

“To reach new season ticket holders and bring back past season ticket holders,” said Annie Matlow, the orchestra’s marketing director.

To get this deal call the symphony box office at (509) 624-1200. For more details on the season, go to www.spokanesymphony.org.
