We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support surrounding Stetsons & Sterling. Because of the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and community, this year’s event has experienced record interest and has officially sold out before public ticket sales were fully opened.
At this time, only waitlist requests are being accepted. If seats become available, guests will be contacted in the order waitlist requests are received.
Joining the waitlist does not require payment and does not guarantee ticket availability, but it does ensure you will be contacted if space opens.
We are honored by the excitement and support this event continues to receive year after year.
To join the waitlist please click the link to the left. If you have any questions, please contact our Director of Development, Jessamyn Rice, at jrice@triohio.org
