Tell us why you would like to come
One sentence is enough. It is not a competition and nobody is marking it. We read them because we like reading them.
If your email program does not open, write to info@creartbox.nyc yourself with the subject WINTERLIGHT LOTTERY.
Why we are doing this.
A concert ticket is a strange thing to ask someone to buy. You cannot try it first, and if you have never been to a chamber music concert you have no way of knowing whether you will like it until you have already paid to find out.
We would rather remove that. Free and subsidised tickets have been part of how this ensemble works for years, through NYC Culture Pass and the Queens Public Library. This is the same idea, said out loud, for one night.
Our tickets start at $15, which is low for New York and still not nothing. Twenty seats in a hall of this size is a real share of the room.
Spread the word.
Four graphics for the lottery, free to post: a square for a feed, a portrait, a story and a landscape for a link. Right-click or tap and hold to save one, or take all four at once. If you post one, the link to send people to is creartbox.nyc/lottery.html.
The small print.
What happens to my email address?
It is used to tell you the result of the lottery, and then it is deleted. We do not add you to anything. If you would like to hear from us about future concerts, write “add me to the newsletter” somewhere in your email and we will, and you can leave at any time. If you do not write it, we will not.
How many times can I enter?
Once. A second email from the same address does not improve the odds, and we would rather spend the evening listening than counting duplicates.
Do I have to live in New York?
No, but the tickets are for one night in Midtown Manhattan and we cannot help with getting there. Enter if you can come.
What if I win and cannot make it?
Tell us, and the pair goes to the next name out. An empty seat helps nobody.
How is the draw made?
At random, from everyone who wrote in by the deadline. What you write does not change your chances. We ask for a sentence because we would like to know who is coming, not to judge who deserves it.
Can I still buy a ticket?
Yes, and most people will. Tickets start at $15 through Eventbrite, and buying one is what pays the musicians who play that night. The concert page has them.
