Tips & Advice
- Add valet parking when you buy your concert ticket, since only pre-paid valet guarantees a spot and valet at the door costs more.
- Buy tickets directly through Pablo Center or its box office, the only official ticket provider for the venue, so your tickets are valid.
- The lobby opens an hour before the concert and the theatre doors half an hour before, so arrive early and settle in without rushing.
- Bring the whole family and be ready to join the Christmas Singalong that closes the program after tenor John Pierce sings O Holy Night.
- Guests with limited mobility can use complimentary valet, and two ADA spaces are on Eau Claire Street right next to the main entrance.

- CVSO Trio Season 9 packages, including a student package, are sold separately.
