Just call or stop by the Oregon Symphony ticket office (open M-F, 10am – 6pm) and tell the customer service representative that you want to take advantage of the “CANtix” offer. It’s as simple as that. Here’s the fine print: $8 of the ticket price goes directly to CAN, the other $2 is a fee that must go to the Portland Center for the Performing Arts (don’t ask).<\/div>\nThe Oregon Symphony ticket office is located at:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n923 SW Washington
