TFL and ATBS for ticketing professionals

March is the month to save the most money on SunFest admission. For just over $10 a day, a March Money Saver deal courtesy of TD Bank — five days for $54 — is 50 percent off daily gate admission. By comparison, the average cost of a single concert at a local venue hovers around $56, according to SunFest organizers. Tickets are on sale only at participating TD Bank locations in Palm Beach County through 5 p.m. on March 31.

“We know people are looking for affordable ways to enjoy themselves,” said Paul Jamieson, executive director of SunFest, in a statement. “SunFest offers five days of freedom from the daily routine of life. There isn’t a better deal to be had in the music scene. The best deals are the ones people can get early and for multiple days.”
