I had this same issue with Kimmel. And it's the first telemarketer that has gotten through to me in ages. Here's what I have been doing to stop telemarketers. Get yourself a Google Voice (http://www.google.com/voice) account and phone number - it's free. Set up Google Voice to redirect all calls inbound to that new number to your mobile and/or home phones. Make sure you have the feature enabled that requires the caller to announce who they are. Use this number for anything public - tickets, online subscriptions, etc. I use it for everything except friends and family. Then, when someone calls, your phone shows their number and when you answer a message tells you who is calling. If they **** up on the announcement, go into Google Voice, find the recent call, and under "More" select "Block Caller". Voila! No more telemarketing calls! Obviously this doesn't help your issue now, but between this and getting yourself on the National Do-Not-Call list, you can stop getting unwanted calls in the future.It's a shame... I love going to the Kimmel. The arts are in serious needs of funding, but this is not the way to handle it.

Well, I won't go to any Kimmel Center events ever a***n.  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.

Yes, It's Philadelphia Orchestra. I called back and the guy said that is telemarketing and we should just ignored it.

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 s**** a***n.  Unbelievable.

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.

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?
