Residents of Paxton are entitled to a discount of 100% based on my request for $750 and your council's award of $750. The pool of seats available for discount includes 210 at the Old South Church (capacity 700) and 334 at Mechanics Hall (capacity 1160). I've divvied these discounts proportionally based on grant awards across the supporting LCCs. Paxton residents are entitled to 28 discounted seats at Mechanics Hall (MH) and 18 discounted seats at the Old South Church (OSC). With General Admission ticket prices to MH and OSC set at ~$60 and ~$50, respectively, the returned value to Paxton residents is $2,580. Your council's grant award of $750 has yielded a Return On Investment (ROI) of 244% for your residents. Feel free to share that fact when questioned about your reason for supporting this out-of-town event (AB2). Discounted tickets for Paxton residents are easy to obtain. Just enter the town-specific promo code ("LCCPaxton") when purchasing tickets online at http://AB2Boston.eventbrite.com or http://AB2Worcester.eventbrite.com. The ticket purchaser must bring a photo ID (with matching town address) to the venue entrance (otherwise the ticket is invalid). For practical reasons, discounted tickets are available only while seats and discounts remain. Be sure to get your seats/discounts before they run out! Tickets go on sale on March 17, 2023 at 12:00 AM.
