Why Bethel Gave Out Nearly 2,000 Free Tickets This Year

We're constantly sharing and showing our love for Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, let's face it though, what's not to love?

Bethel Woods is...

• Right here in the area.
• A beautiful place to visit, with stunning views and a rich history on the grounds.
• Constantly giving us a stellar lineup of shows year after year.
• A USA Today #1 rated amphitheater.

Bethel Woods Ticket and Arts Access Program (TAAP)

In addition to providing the backdrop for concert memories that will last a lifetime, Bethel Woods, as a nonprofit organization, also plays a huge role within the local community in a variety of ways.

During the 2025 concert season, Bethel Woods, through the TAAP program, cites giving away a total of 1,940 tickets. The Tickets and Arts Access Program, with support from the TD Charitable Foundation, allows for complimentary access to a variety of shows and Bethel Woods events events.

From concert tickets to arts education program scholarships, transportation, and meal vouchers, TAAP breaks down barriers to make cultural engagement accessible for over 1,000 participants annually.

Connection Is At The Core Of Their Work

I think so many of us can relate to information that Bethel Woods has cited on their official website, confirming that 'arts experiences enhance well-being, reduce stress, and cultivate social cohesion.' A trip to Bethel Woods is not simply 'going to an event,' but rather an immersive and rich in history experience.

The TAAP program allows that experience for everyone, as Bethel Woods partners with 'regional social service agencies and providers to distribute tickets and provide transportation support to those in need.'

Through Ticket & Arts Access at Bethel Woods, we provide free tickets to young people, families and individuals who might not otherwise be able to attend to shows in our Pavilion and Event Gallery, and at the Horizon Stage.

Congratulations to the team at Bethel Woods for allowing nearly 2,000 guests to experience their grounds, take in their history, and attend an event on their incredible grounds.
