Scheduled Performances
Nov. 4 – Turn the Page: A Tribute to Bob Seger (performed by the Sam Morrison Band)
Show is now Sold Out
Turn the Page is an incredible re-creation of the live Bob Seger experience performed by The Sam Morrison Band. Every effort has been made to ensure each song is performed with all the passion and excitement expected in a Bob Seger show.
With more than four decades of hit songs and millions of albums sold worldwide, Bob Seger has written the soundtrack for Baby Boomer generation. Quite simply, it’s the music of working-class America. Songs like “Old Time Rock and Roll” and “Night Moves” remind the audience of everything good about rock ‘n’ roll and proves that Seger deserves his place in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
Nov. 5 – Southern Rock: Sam Morrison Band
For more than a decade, the Sam Morrison Band has delivered music with an unapologetic love for the American way of life. Heavily influenced by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers and Charlie Daniels, SMB pulls Southern Rock out of the 1970s into a time and culture where folks need the pride and attitude the music evokes.
The Sam Morrison Band is on a mission – real musicians, playing real songs, with real instruments for real people. No drum loops, no DJs, just 100-proof rock ‘n’ roll.
Are these tickets open to the public or just scw residents like they should be . How many tickets can we buy.
Hi Sue. Please reach out to our box office at 623-544-6093 to learn more about ticket sales for Fall Fest.
This preference to SCW residents should rightfully apply to all sponsored events in SCW. I’ve had friends from Sun City Grand who are able to see the Thursday movies, while I, a resident, am not able to get a seat at that same movie. The same holds true for the book sale. Those who pay to live here should be given the opportunity for first entry at any event. This is one of the privileges of living in this wonderful community and paying our fees.
Thank you Sue for asking this question. This has been an ongoing issue for many years and in the past the response has been that the ‘system’ cannot handle it due to the expense to upgrade it. There must be a way for ticket sales to be limited such that SCW residents get first choice (if they can do it for golf, they can do it for anything [in my opinion]. I really think this question needs to be answered on an open forum rather than replying “reach out to our box office”. One of the issues in our recent recall is that the former director suggested the possibility of opening up clubs to residents outside of SCW–which the majority of our residents didn’t want, so the same should go with our concerts. This really needs to be fixed.
Luanne, I couldn’t help but to respond…first, Lou did not want to open up to the public; that was misinformation. Secondly, it is not a big deal to change the program. They have people on staff who should have the expertise to change it eliminate all who do not have a valid rec card.
Agreed. For the Evolution of Music concert, I tried to get tickets online a few hours after they were offered and wasn’t able to purchase 2 tickets. As a SCW resident, I would hope they’d open it up to residents for a few days and limit the number of tickets for the first few days at least, so residents wanting to attend have the opportunity to go.
Sun City West residents deserve priority purchasing for events hosted in our facilities. There are several computer programs that could facilitate a priority purchase for our residents. We pay for the upkeep of Sun City West venues through our yearly dues. We expect the governing board to do what is right: provide a pre-purchasing opportunity for residents of Sun City West BEFORE you open the link to others. Why not?
As a couple who moved here in June 2020, I have been looking forward to enjoying events “opening up” again. The hosted events is one reason why we chose SCW. Imagine our surprise when we have been unable to get tickets to any event thus far.
When it was explained to us that there is no pre-sale ticket opportunity to residents, and we have to line up early like we were trying to get in to an Elton John concert, we were disappointed to say the least.
How do we go about getting the procedure changed so residents may purchase first. Also is there a limit to how many tickets per household?
System NOT CAPABLE of handling surge in purchasing. As a resident I expect a robust system in 2021.
Residentsare first
Priority PLEASE
Supposed to be able to get a 2 show package for $30 a package but no option to click for both shows. Had to purchase individually and then got charged $36 for each show instead of $30. Also looks like this site was opened to purchase 5 or 10 minutes before 8am.
Hi Becky. The two show package should have been available at the top of our ticketing website where it says “Click here for Fall Fest subscriptions”
The discount should have also been applied automatically if both shows were placed in your shopping cart when checking out.
Please fix the option to buy both concerts for $30 as advertised! This is end of day two of sales and still not corrected. I am buying several tickets and the extra $6 is significant. Hopefully it won’t sellout before I purchase.
Hi Ann. The two show package for $30 is available at the top of our ticketing website where it says “Click here for Fall Fest subscriptions”
Ticketing website: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=rcscw
The discount is also applied automatically when you add both shows to your shopping cart.
I paid $36 for my husband and myself for each night. I thought if we ordered for both nights, it would only cost $30 for each night. Did I miss something?
Hi Audrey. The $30 pricing is applied automatically when both shows are in your cart and paid for in the same transaction. If you pay for your shows in two separate transactions, the discounted price doesn’t get applied. If you have any additional questions/concerns about ticket sales, please reach out to our box office at 623-544-6093.
I bought tickets online and now I can’t remember how I’m supposed to get my tickets. Ugh. Please help
