2023 Locals Pass

The Locals Pass brings music to the community at significant discounts. Please note purchasers must be full-time local residents and present a state-issued ID showing residency in the Roaring Fork Valley. 

New this year--seat selection advantage!  The Benedict Music Tent is now tiered at different price levels for Friday and Sunday orchestral concerts, but Locals Passholders may choose seats anywhere in the hall for the same low pass price.

Pre-sale ticketing!  Locals Passholders may call to purchase their pass and tickets in a special dedicated pre-sale on April 10 and 11, from noon to 4 pm. Call 970-925-9042.

Qualifying for the 2023 Locals Pass

 
As always, purchasers must present a state-issued ID showing full-time residency in the Roaring Fork Valley. To do this, you have two options:
  • By phone: You may send a photo of your state-issued ID verifying your local residency to localspass@aspenmusic.org after your order over the phone. Once the box office has seen your ID confirming local residency, your tickets will be sent to you or you may pick them up once the box office opens at Harris Hall in June.
  • In person: You may purchase your pass and come to the Harris Hall box office in person with your state-issued ID starting June 20. See full box office service details here. Once the box office has seen your ID confirming local residency, you may purchase tickets in person.
 
The following are the only zip codes permitted to access the Locals Pass. If your state-issued ID does not contain one of these zip codes, you are ineligible for a Locals Pass. Other documents including leases, utility bills, and subscriptions are not valid for proof of residency: 81611, 81612, 81615, 81656, 81654, 81621, 81628, 80693, 81623, 81601, 81602, 81642.
