Tickets at the Door
The Bach Society has an open-door seating policy for non-members. You pay at the door when you arrive and put a name tag on an available seat.

Payment
Payment for entry is made at the door. We accept cash or checks. $5 per transaction is added to credit card payments. There’s a $5 discount for students under 25, and children who do not occupy a seat are free. See calendar page for concert prices.

Finding Seats
You can arrive when the doors open at 3 pm to place a name tag on any available seat inside the concert room. We usually get everyone in, and for popular shows make “standing room” available at a discount. Standing room includes seating on the inside deck where the music can be heard. From 3 pm to 4:30 when the music starts you can enjoy the beach house and beach, purchase our catered food and beverages. There is limited picnic space outside.

Reservations for Members
Current Bach Members may make email reservations and will receive priority seating in the center and east wall sections. Contributors may also request specific seats if available. We ask that Members reserve no later than the Thursday prior to the performance to assure Member seating, especially for popular performances and notify us in advance if they cannot make it.

Member Cancellations
Since we do not take payment in advance, it is important that you notify us if you cannot attend. Please call us at 650 726-4143 no later than 2 p.m. on the day of the concert so we can make your seats available to others. If you are going to be late (after 4:30), let us know and we will hold your seats. Otherwise, “no-show” name tags are picked up 5 minutes after the music starts.

Becoming a Member
If you want to be assured of reserved priority seating by becoming a member, please provide a credit card number and expiration date with your email reservation. Membership costs $250. You receive four tickets worth $120 which you can use at the performance, and continued reservation privileges for the year of your membership. The other $130 is totally tax deductible. Contributors who donate an additional $200 or more can request specific seats.

It’s Worth It
We are a intimate venue (200 capacity) right on the beach. For 42 years folks have felt privileged to have found this unique and special “home for jazz.” The acoustics are exquisite, and no seat is more than 35 feet from the stage. Musicians love to play here, partly because of the intimacy. They can see us easily as we can see them. It makes a difference, and they respond.

Food & Beverages
Catered food and drinks are sold separately. Excellent food is available from 3 pm through Intermission. The wine & beer bar stays open through the second set. Food is not permitted in the concert room, but you can bring your drinks. Limited space is available outside for picnics, weather permitting. Please, no picnics inside, as we need the limited seating for our catered customers.
