The Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts announced a special offer in celebration of New Year’s: During all of January, when you place online ticket orders, or when buying tickets by mail or telephone, the center will waive the $10 handling fee.

The fee does not apply to purchases at the box office. But if you are buying via computer, mail order or phone call, you will save $10.

The offer applies for all shows in the Mondavi Center’s 2008-09 presenting program, including the March 27 k.d. lang concert, a special add-on event. The Mondavi Center also added a Willie Nelson concert, Jan. 11, but be advised: Tickets for that show are limited in availability.

The fee waiver is not valid on prior purchases.

The Mondavi Center schedule is available online, www.mondaviarts.org, and you can place ticket orders on the same site. Telephone orders are taken at (530) 754-2787 or toll-free at (866) 754-2787.

Or you can visit the box office. It is open from noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Note: The Mondavi Center box office will be closed from Dec 22 through Jan. 4; the online ticket-ordering system will still be in operation during this period.
