Biodome 714 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 1 minute ago, Modest Expectations said: I also did this. I should have done it 20 minutes ago! I have a place in a 7th or 8th row (couldn't even take a good glance) on the floor level, but sadly near the wall. Well, at least I will be able to attend this historical event! Yeah, I realized too late what was going on. Managed to get some good central seats near the front, but not as good as what I've hoped for (wanted to be in the very front row, obviously).

alawill75 39 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The last time it didn't sell that fast. There were even seats available some days after the sale started. Is there anything different this time? Would like to avoid the EUR75 membership if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TownerFan 4,983 Posted October 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2019 It's been tough, but I secured my 4 tickets for Saturday! Row 21, couldn't get anything else closer to the stage in the same row, but I won't complain at all. This is going to be historic. Btw, I think the Musikverein is purposefully keeping tickets for the general sale on Thursday. Be ready to act quick! Plus, Marian heard that the very first rows and the seats near the orchestra on the stage might not be available because they will extend the stage.

rough cut 1,714 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yes, there’ll be tickets left. That’s how these things work. But then I reckon it’ll be more of a “fight” to get a hold of few - I think that the demand for tickets will be greater than. I am actually out traveling at the moment, sitting in an international airport, in transit, so I am glad I was able to wrangle a ticket on the free WiFi, without any kinks. Now, I deserve a coffee before next take off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977 1,743 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 So what're the odds of getting tickets later on if these sell out? Do people get extras that they sell off (presumably at exorbitant prices)? I really want to go but need to plan things first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 You’ll get tickets the official way with a bit of planning. It shouldn’t be a problem. Otherwise, I am sure you can scalp one from somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hope you all got the tickets you wanted! I was queuing in person (it's less then 10 minutes from my home by bike, and on my way to work) and was #3 in line, so I got my own tickets straight away without any hassle. But if it's any consolation, I spent 45 minutes just before the ticket office opened on the cinema ticket website to get tickets for TROS in December. Plus once I had my own tickets, I returned to the ticket office three times with different friends on my phone so they could order their tickets because they couldn't get through. The ticket office people were VERY nice and VERY patient. I've got a fourth row seat on Saturday and a balcony seat on Sunday. 41 minutes ago, Modest Expectations said: I think rows I-III have Roman numerals precisely for when a large orchestra is needed. Rows with Arabic numerals might have a literal meaning this time Yes, those are the ones that are not on sale because they MIGHT extend the stage. That's not certain yet though, so there's no guarantee that row 1 will be the front row for certain. But it seems likely right now. I wonder why and how they may want to extend the stage but are not sure yet. Size of the orchestra? Safety distance for Williams?? I doubt they'll set up projection equipment for Williams. I was planning on getting a front row seat for Sunday when row I was listed for €90, but I didn't want to pay €240 for row 1. Row 4 on Saturday will be close enough for me, so I switched to a balcony seat for Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Johnny would come to do a concert only 10 minutes away from my home. I am still debating whether to order a ticket on Thursday or not.

rough cut 1,714 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It seems JW has updated the program for this concert in 2020 compared to the cancelled one. Newly added: Sound the Bells Across the Stars from “Attack of the Clones” Donnybrook Fair from “Far and Away” Remembrances from “Schindler’s List” Raiders March from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” Out to Sea / Shark Cage Fugue from “Jaws” Love Theme from “Superman” Missing: Olympic Fanfare and Theme Suite from "Memoirs of a Geisha" Nimbus 2000 from "Harry Potter" Harry's Wondrous World from "Harry Potter" No change: The Flight to Neverland from “Hook” Excepts from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind“ Adventures on Earth from "E.T.” A Child’s Tale, Suite from "The Big Friendly Giant" Hedwig’s Theme from "Harry Potter" The Rebellion Is Reborn from "The Last Jedi" Rey's Theme from "The Force Awakens" Main Title from "Star Wars" I much prefer the updated set we’re getting in 2020.

Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Olympic Fanfare is also missing (Sound the Bells takes its spot). Donnybrook Fair looks suspiciously like it should be the new violin arrangement? At least I don't think that title has been used for the piece before that? Playing the Superman love theme is perhaps risky when thinking of the more conservative Philharmonic players, being so close to Strauss' Tod und Verklärung (which I by the way first heard in a VP concert, many years ago).
