Stern Grove just announced its 2025 season, and it’s, well, totally bonkers, as usual. Including your editor-in-chief’s all time favorite band, Sleater-Kinney, East Bay Legends The Pointer Sisters with fellow East Bay Legend, Lyrics Born, Queer Country icon Orville Peck, and many more. OH! And closing out the season is one of the last great rock pioneers, MS DIANA ROSS!!!!
They are also changing things up a bit to help ensure a fair ticket distribution and discourage third party resellers from hogging up the servers. I think it’s smart and opens up to multiple opportunities for fans to score free tickets:
-
Enter our free ticket lottery: Six weeks before each concert, you can enter a lottery that stays open for one week. It’s bot-protected, so it’s a fair shot for real fans. No rush, no race.
-
Visit a Community Box Office: At least 1,000 tickets for every show will be available in-person the day before each concert at locations across San Francisco (location details coming soon).
-
Volunteer: Sign up to support the Festival and receive a ticket to a future show. You can email volunteer@sterngrove.org for more information.
-
Reserve a table: Make a tax-deductible gift to support the Festival and enjoy guaranteed access with reserved seating at a picnic table. Whether you’re gathering friends, family, or colleagues, it’s a great way to experience the Grove together—and help keep concerts free for the whole community. You can email development@sterngrove.org for more information.
