Would you like to avoid having to arrive early to Outpost concerts and stand on line just to get prime seats? Or would you like to arrive closer to show time, knowing that your seats will be waiting for you? If so, we have a solution…the Outpost Membership program.

For $75 per year, we are offering patrons a membership covering the complete Fall 2004 - Spring 2005 concert calendar. In addition to providing each member the privilege of reserving seats at any show for which that member purchases tickets, members will also receive a 6 issue (one year) subscription to the Outpost Reader.

How does it work? VERY SIMPLE:

You pay your membership dues, you buy your ticket(s) to a show, you call ahead to reserve your seat(s), and you show up 10 minutes before show time, going directly to your reserved seat(s).

THE SMALL PRINT

Each paid membership carries with it the right to reserve two seats. Reservations have to be made at least 24 hours before show time. Proof of ticket purchase will be verified by your check for mail ordered tickets, TicketWeb for online and phone purchases, or in person for purchases made at Keil's or Outpost concerts. Seats for a specific concert will be reserved on a first-come first-served. Reserved seats will be held until 10 minutes before the scheduled show time, after which time they will be made available to the general public. To become a "member" of the Outpost, please send your check for $75, made out to "Outpost in the Burbs," to Outpost Memberships, 40 South Fullerton Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042-3396.

As always, we would appreciate your comments on this new membership program as well as any other suggestions that you may have regarding the programs at the Outpost. Many have been implemented. Hopefully, the improvements (most of which happen to cost money) that we have made, such as purchasing a stage for the Guild Room and adding various enhancements to the sound system, have made your listening experience a more enjoyable one. Outpost volunteers are extremely gratified with the support that you have given to us in the past and look forward to providing you with more great music in the years ahead.

Sincerest Regards,

The Program Committee
