Hello Reader,

I feel so lucky that we’ve been able to share so many fantastic ticket giveaways and exclusive deals with you lately! From Comedy Festival shows to last week’s incredibly generous offer of over 10 double passes to the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, it’s been wonderful to help fill seats, support local acts, and give our subscribers the chance to enjoy a free or cheap night out.

As Margaret wrote after attending the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra:

And from Vicky & Tim:

A huge thank you to all of our partners for making this possible! If you’ve attended a show, we’d love to hear your thoughts—your feedback not only supports these businesses but also helps inspire others to get out and explore the city.

And if you missed out on the Brandenburg Orchestra tickets, don’t worry—they’re heading out on a regional tour next month, with tickets just $20. Well worth checking out! Read about the regional tour here.​

Enjoy,
Amy

“ At the entrance, we were handed a tablet called a HistoPad. But seniors, don’t be put off by the modern technology—it’s super easy to use, and the staff are incredibly helpful if you need any assistance. This HistoPad takes you on an immersive journey through Notre-Dame’s history, from its 12th-century origins to its meticulous restoration after the devastating 2019 fire. ​ The exhibition attracted a mix of ages, but it never felt crowded. I would highly recommend it to anyone—it’s a truly remarkable experience! ​Read more here.​ — Terrie
