• The opportunity to book Festival events ahead of the general public in a preferential period right after the Season Ticket holders, 10-16 November 2005.
• Reduced ticket prices — Friends of the Festival may purchase one ticket for most Festival events at a discounted rate.
• The Friends’ newsletter — offering Festival insights and information.
• Access to the unique programme of specialised Friends’ tours — behind the scenes of Festival events, visits to private art collections and to places of architectural, cultural and historical significance.

The exquisite Ballet Nacional de España (Spain) was a 2004 highlight.
