Concert Tickets 

Always check the website to see if a show is sold out or if tickets will be available at the door. When bad weather threatens, we'll post updates to the website. 

All ticket sales are final. 

PURCHASING TICKETS 

You can purchase tickets to IMT shows four ways: 

Online through this website. To purchase tickets securely through this website, click on the "Buy Tickets" button on any show description or go directly to the shopping cart page (see details). Ordering through our website helps us keep IMT's costs down. 
In advance at another IMT concert. 
By phone through the IMT voice message line. (see details) 

Tickets purchased online or by phone will be held for pickup at the show. 

There is a $2 per ticket box office fee on all ticket purchases, except where noted. Advance purchases at concerts do not incur the fee. The box office fee goes directly to IMT to help pay the costs we incur running our box office. 

Please note that advance sale of tickets for evening concerts usually ends by 3pm on the day of the concert. Advance sale of tickets for daytime events usually ends the evening before the event. In some cases online ticketing may remain open later. Check the concert listing for the latest information. 

Secure Online Orders 

We prefer that you order your tickets online. When you order online, your personal information is kept safe because it is transmitted over a secure, encrypted connection. By ordering online, you help us keep IMT's costs down, and ordering online is easier for you and for us. We do not keep a record of your credit card information.

Phone Orders 

To order by phone, call 301-960-3655. You will be asked to leave a voice message with your name, your phone number, which concert you what tickets to, and how many tickets you want. Loralyn Coles, who manages the IMT box office, will call you back to complete your order. 

If you prefer, you can leave the following information and Loralyn will complete your order. 

Your name as it appears on your credit card. 
Your credit card number. 
Your credit card expiration date. 
Your credit card security code. 
Your phone number 
Your zip code (the zip code is very important!). 
The show you want to order tickets for.

If you run out of time, just call back and continue your message. We'll try to call you back within two business days to confirm your order. Your tickets will be held under your name at Will Call at the venue. 

GROUP RATES 

Music teachers who want to bring their students to shows, and anyone else interested in bringing a group to a concert, should email office@imtfolk.org to inquire about group rates. Let us know which show you want to see and how many people would be in the group, and we'll let you know if a discounted rate is available.
