Become A Member

As a nonprofit organization, SPAC relies upon memberships and charitable donations to support our work to serve art, artists, and community.

Among other benefits, SPAC members receive exclusive Live Nation ticket access beginning at the Encore level. Becoming a member today gives you presale access that increases with your membership level. The sooner you join, the more concerts you will have presale access to.

In addition, your membership will help fund our incomparable residencies with the New York City Ballet, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Saratoga Jazz Festival and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and make possible a wide range of new and exciting programming and arts education initiatives.

Don’t delay! Join today!

SPAC’s membership year now coincides with the calendar year (January 1 through December 31).

2027 memberships are now live!

Please be aware that SPAC member presales take place over several days, tiered by membership level. Visit an individual event page to see its specific member presale dates.

2026 membership benefits will expire on December 31, 2026, and you can join SPAC as a 2026 member until then. If this is of interest, you can choose 2026 as your membership year during registration — or feel free to contact Maddie McCarthy, Development and Events Coordinator, at 518-584-9330 ext. 142 or mmccarthy@spac.org with any questions.
