Dear Ms. Hathoway:

Season tickets for this year's symphony are going on sale next month and we wanted you to be among the first to know.

As you probably know, rental prices have skyrocketed throughout Tennessee this year. Due to our increase in rent at the Arrington Forum, we are finding it necessary to raise the price of our season tickets from $228 to $275. Single viewing tickets will also be subject to a price increase.

We hope that you will consider purchasing season tickets for next year despite this change. The Arrington Symphony has been together for 23 years, and relies on season-ticket holders to fill 25% of the seating at each event. Without your support the Arrington Symphony could be forced into retirement before its 25th anniversary.

To purchase tickets for the 20__ season, please visit our website at www.arringtonsymphony.net, or call the ticket agent representative at

(615) 395-8750.

We look forward to having you in our audience again next year.

Yours truly,

C. Fairchild
