Complimentary open seating tickets for your family are included with your WJC membership and include adults and children 22 and younger. Additional open seating for guests and children 23 and older are available at $180 per seat.

We plan to have COVID-sensitive rows or sections in every service in which masking will required. You must request these seats as part of your registration and every family member sitting in these designated seats should be masked. Our goal is to inform congregants of their seat assignments by Friday, September 1.
