Donation-based Ticket Model Through our donation-based model, we are asking everyone to support SAJ with meaningful contribution to support the work of SAJ. We also ask that you keep in mind that ticket prices for the main sanctuary were $500 per seat for non-members and $200 for Family Services the last time we used the pay-per-ticket model.. If you contributed less than these amounts last year, we ask that if possible, you consider contributing $360.00-$500.00 per ticket this year, or as close to that amount as you are able, especially if you register for in-person services.
