Stern Grove Festival: How to Reserve Tickets for a Show
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- This year's Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco will be a very different experience than past festivals. The 2021 fest marks the first time Stern Grove is using a reservation system for each performance.
Reservations for each show will become available at 2 p.m. on the Tuesday 12 days prior to the Sunday concert date in question. For example, the reservations for the Perfume Genius show being held on Sunday, June 27th first became available to the public on Tuesday, June 15 at 2 p.m.
Each reservation is good for free four tickets or admissions to each concert. Picnic tables for up to 10 guests are also available for purchase at the Stern Grove Festival website.
