BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Musikfest is barely more than a week away, and as if there's not enough anticipation already, festival presenter ArtsQuest is giving people another reason to buy concert tickets.
It's calling it Christmas in July.
But you'll have to hurry.
From 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Friday, July 25, you'll be able to buy tickets for six of Musikfest's 11 headline shows — and a paid-ticket Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks show — at 25% off.
"The holiday spirit is coming early to live music fans. For one day only, fans can grab discounted tickets to some of the hottest performances of the summer, no promo code needed!"ArtsQuest, in a release
The offer applies to all audience Steel Stage areas except Musikfest Steel Terrace tickets and Oasis.
So that could mean savings of at least $40.75 per ticket to some concerts.

"For one day only, fans can grab discounted tickets to some of the hottest performances of the summer, no promo code needed!"
Musikfest, which will be in its 42nd year, opens with a preview night July 31, then runs through Aug. 10 in downtown Bethlehem and the SteelStacks campus in South Bethlehem.
The festival, the largest free music festival in America, annually brings 1 million visitors to Bethlehem.
Discounted shows
The sale is the second ArtsQuest has held for Musikfest tickets this year; a sale in June offered tickets without fees to The Black Crowes, Nelly, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Third Eye Blind and The Black Keys.
The discount is for online sales only and does not apply to tickets bought at the box office or by phone.
There are other restrictions. It's only while supplies last — the sale is first-come, first-served — and is not valid on previously purchased tickets (or refunds).
There's a limit of eight tickets per buyer.
It also can't be combined with any additional discounts or offers.
Taxes and fees still apply.
