“We’ve been working on this for over six months and really hope you guys dig the work,” Ogden Twilight said on its Facebook page. “Each year we throw everything we have at the artists (vs. marketing) as you can probably tell.”
Season tickets go on sale today, but individual night tickets go on sale March 8. Tickets are available at 24Tix.com/ot.
A Session 1 general admission season pass — which includes four shows — is $35, while a VIP season pass is $185.

The reason behind splitting the concert series into two sessions is due to the way the organization receives public funding and arts grants that cannot be “commingled,” according to the Facebook post.
“Do not snooze on grabbing tickets,” according to the post. “The Shins sold out last year and we’ve reduced capacity by 500 people for 2018. I think we’ve got 5-6 sellouts on this roster.”
The series is still finishing up details for other special guests throughout the season, which will be announced as soon as they can.
