Michael Martin Murphy Concert Tickets on Sale: Tickets are on now on sale through our web site for the Michael Martin Murphy Concert on May 1 (thanks for your patience)!  We've had so many requests to buy our concert tickets online that we finally made the move. Also, with more concerts this year and with the seating capacity of the Valley Sky Theatre being three times that of the Valley Ballroom, we couldn't keep operating out of the proverbial "cigar boxes" at the hotel desk.  A tip when you order tickets: make sure that the zip code on your address matches the billing zip code for your credit card!  Here's a link to our full schedule of concerts where you can watch for tickets going on sale for the remaining concerts and more concerts news coming soon!
