Festival of Faith & Music
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I only want to hear one of the
evening concerts?
Individual tickets to the 9:30 Sufjan Stevens/Anathallo
concert on Friday, March 30 are sold out. Festival
passes, of course,
still include tickets to the 6:00 show.
Tickets for Emmylou Harris and Neko Case will also be sold individually and are on sale through the Calvin College Box Office (616.526.6282 or secure online order form). For more information, see the Student Activities Office web site.
The usual discount for Calvin students, faculty and staff are only available by registering for the Festival. All other sessions, including those with the concert artists, will be available only with a festival registration.
Do I need to purchase tickets for the
concerts if I have registered for ffm 2007?
No. Your Festival registration allows you to attend the concerts on Friday and
Saturday evening.
Is there assigned seating for the concerts?
No, the seating for Sufjan/Anathallo
and for Emmylou Harris/Neko Case is general admission.
Do high school students get the student rate?
What if I want to combine a college visit with attendance at the festival?
High
school students can register for ffm at
the $50 student rate. If you would like to learn more about Calvin while
you're here for the festival, the admissions office would be glad to help
you.
There is a Fridays at Calvin event that weekend, for which you can register separately online. You would be able to participate in the Fridays activities in the morning before the Festival begins. You would also receive on-campus housing in the dorms and meal tickets for the duration of your stay. Also, if you would like to schedule a personalized visit with an admissions counselor on Thursday, March 29, please call the admissions office at (800) 688-0122.
I'm not a student, but can I still get on-campus housing?
Because of
limited space, we are only able to offer free on-campus housing to students
and that availability may also be limited. Those who are not eligible
should seek shelter elsewhere. If you would be interested in networking
with other Festival attendees to share a hotel room, please contact Kirstin
Vander Giessen-Reitsma.
