Both days at 8PM and feature special guest... Julie Andrews? Not sure how she connects with John Williams, but I like her nonetheless! She is there for a tribute for director Blake Edwards and composer Henry Mancini.

I'm assuming tickets will be available at some later time. Since I missed out on this concert last year (and have been regrettably angry about it ever since), I MUST make it to this one on one of those days. Anyone else think they may go?

Well someone makes more money than me! Haha. 
I wonder if since it's the anniversary of Jurassic Park that he will play something from it like he did for E.T.? Imagine a live performance of Journey to the Island set to the images on a screen... that would be amazing.

Still looks grim for my part. Not only because I can't seem to get airplane tickets cheap enough, but also because the accomodation in Boston for 5-6 days was far more expensive than I had thought! As I've said before, I would need to combine this with a 2-week holiday covering Boston and New York. Otherwise, I can't really justify the trip across the half the globe!
I wonder how difficult it will be to sell a single ticket, even though the seat is nearly upfront. It's more than $100, after all. Usually, people are minimum two, so they would want to sit together.

I think tickets usually go on sale in May. I'm not sure if I'm going this year or not...

Thor, how much did you pay for your ticket for the Hollywood Bowl? What seemed to be the best price for the best seating possible for it?

You have to collect this ticket when you get there, that's a policy for the overseas transactions.I wonder how difficult it will be to sell a single ticket, even though the seat is nearly upfront. It's more than $100, after all. Usually, people are minimum two, so they would want to sit together.
But,.. you can just e-mail them and ask to cancel your order. If you really need to.

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

I paid $112 including fees. However, the ticket is waiting for me in Boston...they didn't send it over here. So if I'm selling it, I'm not selling the physical ticket, but the pick-up confirmation number. The best seat I could get for it was Orchestra Section 101 Row: C Seat: 3.

Really? You can cancel it and get a refund? I assume that is up to a certain date?

I had to cancel mine. I won't be able to make it for personal reasons. And I got a refund.

Oooops.....seems like I misread the topic of this thread. This is about HOLLYWOOD BOWL, not the Boston concerts.

Seems like group tickets are already on sale. They don't list an ETA when single tickets are on sale. Last year they were in May. Wonder if it will happen again the same time?

Well, bought my ticket! For it's price I think I got a pretty good seat!
Friday performance, Section H, Row 16, Seat 109. Wonder who I will sit next to? I got the LAST seat that was available in Section H. Glad I didn't wait too long to buy my ticket after the 4th.
http://www.ticketmas...B004A7DB8F48C02
Anyone else plan on seeing it at the Friday performance? I'm wondering if this performance will be recorded again like last year's Hollywood Bowl and then aired online? I still wonder if Williams will perform the Jurassic Park theme this year, since it's the 20th Anniversary.

For those who have been to this concert before, what is the BEST way to go about parking/shuttle transport to get to the Bowl?
