The DuPage Symphony Orchestra is delighted to welcome you to Holiday Magic, our festive celebration of winter traditions, featuring seasonal favorites, storytelling, and a visit from our special friends from the North Pole.
Below you’ll find all the timing, parking, seating, and family information you need to enjoy a smooth and magical experience.
Pick up your “Musician Comp” tickets at the Musician Comp table!
This performance is completely sold out, and we will not have any walk-up ticket sales available at the door.
When you arrive, please note that Patron Services is only for patrons who have purchased tickets or need to pick up pre-paid tickets. If you enter this line for musician comp tickets, you will experience a very long wait and will ultimately be redirected.
If you are attending on musician comp tickets, please skip Patron Services entirely and go straight to the Musician Comp table, located across from Patron Services by the north concert hall doors. This is the fastest and most direct way to receive your tickets. Our team at that table can check your name, hand you your tickets, and get you on your way quickly.
