How will we travel to New york city.?
Participants will be responsible for personal travel arrangements (airfare / airport transfers) It’s suggested that friend groups book flights together so hotel transfer expense (uber/taxi) can be shared. We recommend you plan travel to arrive in NYC early as possible to maximize your time in the city. Check in is 3pm, but rooms are usually available earlier. If not, the hotel provides bag storage and you can enjoy tourism while your room is being prepared.
We suggest using LGA LaGuardia Airport (it is the closest to our downtown hotel location)
We strongly encourage registrants to purchase travel insurance to cover any interruption in your travel plans. If purchasing air travel, consider accepting the flight insurance available from your airline provider.
May I extend my stay before and/or after the concert?
Yes. You are welcome to add nights to your stay at our group rate of $298 per night/per room *covers all taxes & fees (this cost may be shared between roommates). You may extend up to three nights before and after your package stay; to add more than three nights, contact our office to make arrangements.
If I am performing can I share a room with someone who isn’t performing? (non-performers sharing rooms with performers)?
YES! Non-performing spouses, family members or friends are welcome to register and enjoy the trip with a participating performer.
Registrants need to determine who will be the primary registrant to setup the room and will register the information for each person in the room.
During registration you will be asked to indicate if you are a singer, orchestra or non-performer
For Singers, who will coordinate sharing a room with other singers/friends in the choir?
One person in each room needs to initiate the registration and will include the names and email of the other performers or non-performers in the room. The Primary Registrant will be asked if they are 100% financially responsible for all members in the room or if each person will pay their own expense.
If each person is paying their own expense (in a room) the system will send an email to each person listed in the registration, inviting them to that registration and allowing them to accept the terms and make their own deposit payments.
If you would like to be paired with other participants, we may be able to help you with your request. Call our office and we can discuss options for pairing to help keep your costs down.
Can I use air-miles to travel?
Yes. All travel is solely up to your choosing. Using miles/points is a good way to minimize costs.
Can I invite a friend from another city to join our group?
Yes. You may invite friends/family from anywhere to join as a singer or non-performer.
What is the concert attire?
TBD by group leader - will be announced closer to travel dates
Can I get a refund if I cancel my package reservation?
Registration Terms and Conditions includes information about refunds in the event of cancellation. The initial deposit is non-refundable (even if changes are made to the event schedule) and other deposit refund options are based on the timing of the cancellation related to the start of the event.
