Editor’s note: We're smitten with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and occasionally sprinkle in sponsored content for the ISO we think your family will enjoy, such as this article below. Enjoy!
Maybe you've peeked Hilbert Circle Theatre (i.e. the home of the ISO!) during a walk around Monument Circle. Maybe you've seen an Indianapolis Symphony show during the Kroger Symphony on the Prairie series. Or maybe - like me! - you're a bit of a live music enthusiast. Whether it's your first time or your fifteenth time going to the Symphony, I loveeee telling people that there are not-so-secret ways to save money on Indianapolis Symphony tickets (including a huge annual sale on their popular subscription packages!).
Let's to go to the symphony, but first, here are 3 must-know ways to save at the Indianapolis Symphony:
3 Must-Know Ways to Save at the Indianapolis Symphony:
1. Take advantage of the annual 4 for $99 ticket sale.
Each year the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra offers an amazing, limited-time promotion... a 4-for-$99 subscription package. With it, you can mix and match four performances from the season to customize your own performance package! And yes, it's valid on almost every show the ISO offers, including their classical series and their popular Film Series which includes a special 2026 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in Concert run.

Another Must-Know Way to Save at the Indianapolis Symphony:
2. Experience First Thursdays for free.
First, let me clarify that First Thursdays typically don't include a dedicated performance, but they are a way to enjoy a more behind-the-scenes view of the interworkings at the Symphony. Attendees can get to know the ISO's conductors or musicians with intimate fireside chats, hear what it takes to execute some of the world's most renowned music, and learn insider details on things like the popular Yuletide holiday performances, all for free.

3. Have kids? Try the Teddy Bear Concert Series.
By far one of my biggest tips to growing symphony-loving kids is to tryout an ISO Teddy Bear Series Performance. These free events are often held at local libraries. Kiddos can meet ISO musicians as they explore symphony instruments, plus enjoy storytime with ISO violinist - and kids author! - Victoria Kintner Griswold in each 30-minute session. Best part: It's educational programming in the form of fun.
