Patch Detroit Symphony Orchestra Ticket Giveaway

Your ideas to improve Patch could get you free tickets to a Feb. 20 or Feb. 21 performance of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Since 2010, Patch has provided a news and information site to this community. Over three years, we added local voices blogs, community bulletin boards and a mobile app. The volume and focus of the news has changed, too, as we've tried to find the mix that works as part of a sustainable local news business here.

Wholly owned by Aol since 2009, Patch was acquired by Hale Global on Jan. 29 and spun out into a private company. My teammates and I are looking forward to a period of intense reinvention at Patch, and we'd like to invite you to contribute your ideas to build a better Patch. What you see today is not the finish line for us.

The first 50 people to offer thoughtful suggestions for ways to improve your local Patch and the overall Patch experience will receive a pair of tickets to a Detroit Symphony Orchestra Neighborhood Concert Series performance in Southfield and Dearborn.

World-renowned conductor Hans Graf to lead the performances of Divine Dvorák, including Dvorák’s Symphony No. 9 and Webern’s In Sommerwind. Austrian violinist Benjamin Schmid will perform Korngold’s Violin Concerto. Performances will take place on Thursday, Feb. 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Southfield; and Friday, Feb. 21, at 10:45 a.m. at Ford Community and Performing Arts Center in Dearborn.

Our Michigan sites remain open to local bloggers and contributors to share news, events and information. Our community boards are open for announcements, business updates and offers to buy, sell or trade your belongings. We've taken a pause on news coverage, however, as we retool our service to find a better way to offer sustainable grassroots community journalism.

This is where you come in. This is your site, your community. Please share with us, through this online form, your suggestions for ways to improve the website and involve the community in telling the stories that need to be told. All submissions will remain confidential.

The first 50 submissions for each show will be notified via email that a pair of tickets to one of the DSO performances will be set aside at the will-call booth.
