volunteer
Volunteering is a way to make the BOTMC your own festival, and you'll get in free to one of the concerts at the Freight & Salvage.
Here's how it works:
-
If you volunteer for one of the ticketed events, you get into that event free.
-
If you volunteer at a free event, or volunteer for a job that takes place before or after the festival, you get free admission to either the Thurs. or Fri. night concert at the Freight.
-
If you do two volunteer jobs, you can get in free to both Freight concerts.
-
We are unable to offer free tickets to workshops since the fees go directly to the instructor.
To volunteer, please send an email to Volunteer@BerkeleyOldTimeMusic.org , and please provide the following info:
1. Your name (and the names of anyone else that you are signing up)
