Minnesota Orchestra: Free Tickets for Federal Employees

January 15, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Besides getting free admission to the Science Museum of Minnesota, furloughed federal employees can also get two free tickets to select Minnesota Orchestra Classical concerts through June 2019.

Concerts included in the offer are all Classical, Symphony in 60, and Inside the Classics concerts through June 2019. Here are a few highlights:

  • Beethoven and Strauss, February 7th – 9th: Beginning with the mysterious opening of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto and culminating with the heroic brass fanfare of Strauss’ tone poem, the Minnesota Orchestra illuminates the symphonic wizardry of these legendary composers.
  • Stephen Hough Plays Mendelssohn, April 4th – 6th: Join the Minnesota Orchestra for world-renowned British pianist Stephen Hough’s precisely attuned and poetic translation of Mendelssohn’s opulent concerto as well as guest conductor Han-Na Chang’s dynamic handling of Beethoven’s towering Eroica symphony.

Save on Admission to Ice Castles MN in Excelsior – 15% Off Coupon Code!

January 11, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Ice Castles MN Discount Code

Fulfill your kiddos’ Frozen fantasies with a visit to the Ice Castles in MN – Excelsior, to be exact. It opens Saturday the 12th, so we wanted to be sure you knew of the discounted admission opportunities currently available!

Regular admission prices are as follows:

  • General Admission (ages 12+): $10.95/weekday, $15.95/weekend
  • Child Admission (ages 4-11): $7.95/weekday, $9.95/weekend
  • Ages 0-3: FREE

Plus, there is a $2.50 service fee per type of ticket purchased. So if you were purchasing two child admissions and two general admissions, your service fee would be $5 ($2.50 + $2.50). Make sense? You’ll also be charged 7.5% sales tax.

 

Ice Castles MN Coupon Code

 
Order online and save 15% when you use the discount coupon code ThriftyMN which is valid for any day/time this season! With the discount, you’ll pay as low as $9.31 for general admission or as low as $6.76 for child admission. Don’t forget that kids 3 and under are always FREE. 🙂

  • Friday, 4 – 9:30 pm
  • Saturday, 12 – 9:30 pm
  • Sunday, 12 – 8 pm

When you buy a ticket, you are buying an arrival window. For example, if you buy a ticket from 7 – 7:30 pm and get there early, you will need to wait until 7 pm to enter. If you arrive after 7:30 pm, you will need to wait and may lose your ticket. Once you’re inside, you may stay as long as you like (although I think they’ll kick you out eventually). 😉
