Rider faculty, staff and students have the inside track on purchasing tickets for popular Westminster performances over the next several weeks.

On Sunday, October 28, Rider students, faculty and staff will be able to purchase tickets for the Holidays at Westminster series of performances before they go on sale to the general public. This special pre-sale will be held from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Williamson Hall on the Westminster campus. Members of the Rider community will be able to purchase up to six tickets for most Holidays at Westminster performances with a valid Rider ID.
