leeallen01 2,133 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Priority are almost gone. But general sale will release the rest 90 percent of the halls tickets. I was only able to book up in the circle with my priority booking, so on friday I'll try again for front row seats. But at least I have a backup ticket in the bag. I'll be seeing Williams in Chicago, Baltimore and London this year. Oh money, a friend I once knew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,452 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 KO is at 7:30, so I guess that it'll end at 9:30-10:00 (they have strict noise laws in Kensington). My last train back home goes at midnight, but, as it's very much a treat, I might just stay overnight. Dinner and drinks beforehand sounds great. 56 minutes ago, Quintus said: What time is the concert on and when does it end? Drinks and maybe food before or afterwards?

If you want the full view of the hall and a clear view of the entire orchestra, then the circle is your best bet. Circle U or Circle T. If you want up close and personal then in the Stalls at the side overlooking the stage is good or front rows on the floor obviously. Personally, I'm going for Choir seats if they are released, because they're good and of course Williams will be facing me, rather than having his back to me.

Giftheck 910 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 As what I believe to be the last time John Williams will do a concert over here, I just have to go to this.
