I am a box seat season subscriber, and have made contributions in the past. It's a great orchestra and deserving of support. I made the mistake of giving them my unlisted number once and this is what I get for it. I won't give $ to an organization that makes these calls and abuses me (us) in this manner.
I got calls from this number every day. Caller ID doesn't show who owns this numbers. A web search shows it's from Philadelphia, and a business number carried by Verizon. Anyone knows who own this?
I believe it's from the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. I've gotten several calls from them, too, on my work phone. And they're always after hours (6 p.m.).
I bought tickets for one event 8 months ago, and now I'm sure I'm on their end-of-year fundraising list.
It's the box office at the Kimmel Center, often an automated marketing message. I've asked them repeatedly to stop calling, but every time I buy a ticket, the calls start again. Unbelievable.
Well, I won't go to any Kimmel Center events ever again. That's a shame for them and for me, but they call so frequently (every day, every other day), never leave a message, and recently one of their calls woke me up when I was very sick and desperately trying to rest. They apparently aren't aware of a new communication device called email and email marketing to alert interested consumers of what's going on at Kimmel. To say 'ignore it' is completely inappropriate --- it is very annoying and the wrong way to treat customers. But I'm glad I found out through this thread who it was, I was about to buy tickets to various events as holiday presents for family and now I know to go elsewhere to spend my money. Shame on you, Kimmel, what should be a respected arts organization of the highest sophistication, but dragging us back into the 1990's with your extremely annoying telemarketing.
