John Williams' Film Night, Boston, May 12 & 13 2016

Finally got through on the phone.  Best bet is to have that going while continuously checking the site!

 

I got tickets for the Thursday night show.  Friday night was pretty much sold out!  Can't believe they went this quickly!

 

I always prefer the friday night show...but oh well.

 

Also got Raiders tickets for June!

Thanks for the tip, I'm in the phone queue now. Both numbers were busy when I tried earlier, but at least being on hold now makes it seem like there's a faint glimmer of hope

Well, after months waiting for this and hours of trying the website, I finally got through to a human.  Wanted balcony tickets for Friday night, but all out.  Bought floor seats further back, hopefully not too jammed in.  Good luck everyone.

 

This website snafu seems to me like a scam. Never seen a colossal screw-up on this level before.

It's a disaster, really. Still no luck with the site or the phone.

 

It really does suck.  I've never experienced this with the BSO.

 

I was on hold for about 35 minutes.

 

If I didn't call, I wouldn't have got anything!

 

Some good news is that the Raiders of the Lost Ark show is wide open!

I had a similar experience buying Tanglewood tickets last month, slowly and painfully watching all the tickets disappear, but powerless to buy any myself. AGGGHHH!!! The whole process has definitely gotten much more difficult this year.

 

I finally got through on the phone and ended up with front row both nights. I wanted to do front row one night and balcony the other, knowing that the front row doesn't have the best view, but it was not to be. Oh well!

 

Hope to see some of you there! Good luck to anyone that still hasn't gotten tickets.

I wonder if anyone had better luck buying tickets on their mobile app that they've been pushing.  Totally forgot about that!

 

Being it that the BSO website still doesn't even load, I'd say it's worth checking.

One of the first things I tried this morning, it was showing "loading" for an eternity!

 

Still haven't got my tickets btw :(

I could finally buy the tickets through the phone, for Thursday, although I get a little feeling of regret for not choosing two spots at one of the tables. Are those seats any good?

It's not that they are bad, they are bit more pricey and IMO, looking up to the orchestra is not as good as the balcony seats.  But I believe you do get waiters and stuff.

 

At the end of the day, ANY spot in that place is worth the money though.

One curiosity: there's always a slight stage extension that causes row C to be the first row at the front tables.  This year, there's no extension, and rows A and B exist.  I'm row A right in the middle... hopefully my seat will actually exist, and not be under Williams' podium.  That wouldn't be the best view at all. :P

I seated with my boss to get my days off to go on thursday concert and I got the go, so I'll take thursday tickets, as they look very better (when you click on the seat, you have the view from that seat, Row B seats 1 and 2 seems great!)

 

EDIT And the site crashes when I try to check out... this is a rollercoaster of emotions lol

 

EDIT 2 : Now waiting in line on phone line

 

EDIT 3 : After 20 mins waiting (full price, I live in Canada), I finally got the line, talked to the guy, and the line dropped, I only had the time to tell the seats I had on their website... FML...

Living in Santiago de Chile made this call quite painful too. A dollar a minute, to be precise.

 

Congratulations on getting the tickets and the time off!

Hi all,

 

I think the two concerts are already sold? Are the tickets sold always so fast?

I haven't seen it sell out THIS FAST before.

 

I'm guessing The Force Awakens had a lot to do with bringing him back to the general public's view.
