Another perk to living in Mountain View

The city of Mountain View sends out a city newsletter called 'The View' a few times per year, and usually doesn't have a lot of interesting reading. The most recent issue, however, states that Mountain View residents can purchase event tickets one day in advance of the general public! Maybe this means I can finally get tickets to the Bridge School Benefit. Here are the details:

"Shoreline Amphitheatre is one of the premier concert venues in the Bay Area. Along with its convenient location in Mountain View, city residents may purchase tickets for many events at Shoreline Amphitheatre one day in advance of the general public. Tickets to Amphitheatre events usually go on sale to the public on Sundays during the concert season.

To participate in the program, residents must first obtain a Resident Identification Card from the Shoreline Amphitheatre Box Office. Beginning in mid-April, Resident Identification Cards will be issued at the Box Office Monday through Friday, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and on resident ticket sales days from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm.

Valid proof of residency is required to issue the identification card and to purchase tickets. Proof of residency may include a valid California driver’s license, or DMV-issued California identification card, along with a current utility bill, such as a PG&E, phone, water or cable bill, indicating your name and a Mountain View address. Students may present a school picture identification card, along with a current report card mailed to their Mountain View address."
