Membership and Ticketing Go Digital
We've introduced a new digital ticketing and member service system at the Newport Mansions. For members, admission to the houses will remain the same, except that now when you present your membership card at the door, it will be scanned. And membership renewal will be much easier-just present your card at any house and it can be renewed instantly. If you currently have any of our "old" tickets, all you need to do is stop at the ticket booth at any house to exchange them for new "digital" tickets.
Coming later in August will be a new online membership renewal service, and "print-at-home" ticketing.
