Concert Tickets to Alpharetta's Amphitheater Could Make Great Stocking Stuffers

Jackie Evancho and Il Divo join the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, while the Project 9-6-1 Cinco concert returns for another season.

It's mid-afternoon just a day and a half before Christmas and you still haven't found a gift for everyone, have you? So how about some concert tickets for next season at ?

As a stocking stuffer, the Project 9-6-1 Cinco Party offers very inexpensive tickets for lawn seating. The " Stocking Stuffer Lawn Discount" is just $9.61 per ticket–though the fees bring the actual price up to $14.91. Of course there's a little catch in that the lineup of artists won't be announced until next year.

The amphitheater is the summer home of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and for one concert in June, it will team with a rising pre-teen singer with a voice beyond her years.

On June 7, Foster the People will take the stage at the amphitheater.

Foster The People is Mark Foster (vocals, keyboards, piano, synthesizers, guitar, programming, percussion), Mark Pontius (drums and extra percussion), and Cubbie Fink (bass and backing vocals), according to the amphitheater's website. Their debut album, "Torches," was released in May 2011 on Columbia Records imprint Startime International.

The opening act will be The Kooks. The Thursday concert starts at 8 p.m., with the gates to the amphitheater opening an hour earlier.

Tickets are $36-$42. Expect fees to raise the actual price by approximately $12. If you buy tickets at the amphitheater's box office, those fees will be lower, but don't expect to find anybody at the box office during the holidays. The box office will reopen for regular hours in early 2012.

The fourth concert announced so far at the amphitheater will be another ASO performance. Il Divo joins the orchestra on Sunday, Aug. 12 at 8 p.m. Ticket prices range from $40-$125.

Recently named Artist of the Decade at the Classic BRITS, Il Divo are the most successful international musical break-out story of the millennium, selling more than 25 million albums and pioneering the classical crossover genre. Their ground-breaking success has brought an entirely new sound to vocal music and the group have more than 150 gold and platinum awards in 33 countries. Their first four albums, “Il Divo,” “Ancora,” “Siempre” and “The Promise” have achieved 50 No. 1 album chart positions internationally.

The IL DIVO 2012 world tour, the group’s fourth, follows the release of the quartet’s latest album, “Wicked Game” (on Syco/Columbia Records).
