JohnnyD 1,223 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 For those who have been to Carnegie Hall before, are you allowed to video record concerts? I was thinking of possibly recording the concert on my phone as a keepsake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 For anyone who wants a unique experience, there is an option to RSVP for the gala dinner after the concert, but there is limited availability… and one ticket is $2,500. The concert alone is an experience in and of itself, but if you can afford it, then the concert and gala dinner is quite an experience. The guest of honor at said gala dinner… the Maestro himself! apples 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lairdo 726 Posted April 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2022 For those of us unable to by in NYC on Thursday (or unable to obtain tickets), it does appear that the concert will be broadcast live on WQXR and streamed online. https://www.carnegiehall.org/Explore/Watch-and-Listen/WQXR-Broadcasts I doubt that this will be available on demand but I could be wrong. I was also hoping Carnegie+ on AppleTV would broadcast a video, and if that is happening, I don’t see any evidence yet. I guess it could show up for on demand after the fact. Since it is not in the announcement, I doubt that we will get more than audio. However, I am very happy to have that! (The same concert in Philadelphia on Tuesday does not appear to be streamed as the Philadelphia Orchestra site shows their next streaming audio concert to be April 20, the day after the JW/ASM concert in that city.)

rpvee 805 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 A handful of rather close seats just opened up. I was able to upgrade to front and center, which blew my mind. Had to call the box office to see if I could convert my current tickets to the new ones (since they’re the same price), but was told I had to buy the new tickets and then go through a refund process for the old ones, which involved emailing Carnegie a picture of them torn in half. A bit convoluted, but well worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
