GVR Live! This Summer
We are very thankful for your support of the Arts &
Entertainment GVR Live! program.
This summer, members can look forward to two great
developments. GVR has retired its old software system
for class registration and the new system allows for
online ticket sales! ActiveNet, the new system, offers
a user-friendly, familiar experience allowing members
to purchase tickets online, to be held at will-call.
Ticket pricing will also be simplified. There will be just
two price tiers: member pricing and general public
pricing. However, members will be able to purchase
up to four tickets for guests, at the member price!
Look for more information about ActiveNet on the
Performing Arts page of gvrec.org.
We hope to see you at a performance soon!
