Details

Limited to only 20 packages, the Soirée Plus package offers some new and exciting perks to enhance your festival experience at the 14th annual Allegheny Ukulele Soirée. Your purchase of the Soirée Plus package helps us to keep ticket prices attainable for the rest of our attendees and enables us to bring in bigger names each year. 

Highlights

Full Access Pass

The Soirée Plus package first & foremost includes full access to the entire festival weekend - 3 concerts, all workshops, all jams, and all open mics. This perk is equivalent to the standard full registration type.

Guaranteed Room Reservation Perk

We have set up a separate room block at the Altoona Grand Hotel for our Soirée Plus attendees. Once you purchase your Soirée Plus package, we coordinate with you to put the reservation into your name. The Soirée Plus rooms are double queen rooms, first floor when possible. 

Please note: this perk is solely a room reservation; you are still responsible for paying for the hotel room. 

Reserved Concert Seat Perk

Soirée Plus attendees have reserved seating in the front two rows at each concert. 

Purchasers may pay for a "plus one" for this perk.

Meet & Greet Reception Perk

A private event for Soirée Plus attendees on Friday evening to hang out with & get to know our 2027 Guest Artists and instructors. Includes light snacks, hors d'oeuvres, and soft beverages. 

Purchasers may pay for a "plus one" for this event.

Additional Features
First Choice Perk

Soirée Plus attendees will be given first choice once workshop selection begins - a two week head start on regular Soirée attendees.

Soirée Plus Attendees "Plus One" Perk

Soirée Plus attendees are able to bring a "plus one" (for a reasonable fee) to join them at the Meet & Greet event as well as in reserved concert seating. This option is perfect for the uke-curious or uke-adjacent partner!

Festival Swag Perk

Soirée Plus attendees will also receive an autographed festival poster, limited-edition festival enamel pin, and a special badge & lanyard!

Soirée Plus FAQs

  • What is Soirée Plus? Soirée Plus is a premium package which combines festival registration with some new perks only available to the folks who purchase the package.
  • Why does it cost what it does? The Soirée Plus package includes some exclusive benefits and opportunities that we've never before offered at the Soirée. It's also a way for us to defer raising prices on all of our other ticket options. We feel that the Soirée Plus package is an excellent value at its price point, especially compared to other festivals with similar premium or VIP programs.
  • Why can't everyone get the Soirée Plus Perks? The Soirée Plus package was designed to not take anything away from a regular attendee, but to enhance the experience of the people who are able to contribute at a higher level. All of the Soirée plus benefits are new things that we've never offered before at the Soirée. 
  • What is the "Plus One" benefit? The Soirée Plus package is for a single attendee. We are offering a "Plus One" option for attendees who want their non-playing partner (regular attendee or non-attendee) to join them at the concerts and Artist Meet & Greet. It is a additonal fee designed to cover the costs associated with an extra person at these events. 
  •  Does Soirée Plus include a hotel room? It only includes the reservation - you are still on the hook for paying for the room. Once you have registered, we will coordinate with you to put the reservation at the Altoona Grand Hotel in your name. You may decline the benefit if you can't or won't use it. 
  • Am I guaranteed every workshop I want to take? Not exactly, no. Those who sign up for Soirée Plus get a 2-week head start on selecting their workshops once we open workshop registration (slated for late December or Early January). If a workshop fills up prior to you purchasing the Soirée Plus Package, we won't bump someone else out of it, but you will rise to the top of the wait list for that workshop.
