On Monday, June 27, the RPO's Patron Services Center opened to the
public at 10 AM. Located at 108 East Avenue, the Patron Services Center
is the new location for all RPO box office needs, including
subscriptions, exchanges, single tickets, and donations.
If you are a
longtime RPO patron, you may remember that the box office was formerly
housed at 108 East Avenue before relocating to the Eastman Theatre Box
Office on East Main Street several years ago. So, why did we move back? Simple! The
RPO and Eastman School of Music are both growing and have increased the
number of concerts. We were operating together with one box office
staff to cover all the patron needs of both organizations, so a joint
decision was made to expand box office operations in two separate
locations. That, and it gave us the opportunity to update the old box
office on East Avenue into a modern Patron Services Center! Here are
some before-and-after photos from the renovation. Scroll to the bottom of this blog for a video tour of the new space!
Come check out the Patron Services Center in
person Mondays-Saturdays from 10 AM-5 PM. Single tickets go on sale Friday, July 29! And, you can still call us at
585-454-2100 or purchase tickets online at rpo.org. Here's to the
future!

Fresh paint and new posters listing the full 2016-17 RPO season have
transformed the old box office into a modern Patron Services Center!
Volunteer Kevin Stone helped paint several rooms, transforming offices and storage spaces into the customer area, call center, and manager's office.
