“Weidenhammer is proud to lend our name to the Box Office at the Santander Arena. The Arena, along with the Performing Arts Center, serves as the entertainment hub for Reading, Berks, and surrounding areas.

We look forward to a great partnership with the Arena in sponsoring the Weidenhammer Box Office,” states John Weidenhammer, President.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Weidenhammer’s name on the Santander Arena Box Office. They have been such great supporters of arts and entertainment in our community, that it makes for a perfect fit,”states David Farrar, General Manager of the Santander Arena and Santander Performing Arts Center.
