WilliamsStarShip2282 308 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 That has been a question that has been bounced around buy ticket buyers, but I think its not going to change, especially since all the pre-sale tickets are essentially for donors or big sponsors. Something similar happened a few years back at the Pops in Boston, they held a TON of tickets for a corporate sponsor so the normal donors had slim pickings (nearly sold out) when their pre-sale came up. People were being bumped up but you had to call after a certain date when they unannounced released unclaimed held tickets. So who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,658 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It is irritating, but without the big donors, there is probably not a BSO/Pops. My biggest gripe is when the people do not actually use their ticket or, worse yet for a Williams's concert, leave early.

Smeltington 1,440 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I bought one for Film Night in August. They still had seats available in the back of the shed, which I recommend because it's hard to see from the lawn. Cheap tickets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,359 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I was able to snag a single ticket to the Jul 24 Violin Concerto premiere I was unable to get tickets for the Aug 13 Film Night Smeltington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpvee 805 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Got a couple lawn “seats” before realizing the shed’s icons between available seat and sold seat is a very small hollow circle vs. a very small filled circle. Could barely tell the difference. But ended up getting seats in Row P. Question is, what’s better - being back in Row P, or possibly closer (I think?) but way to the side on the lawn?

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Their masking policy hasn't changed with the CDC 180, has it? We'd want to go if we don't have to wear masks the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeDocMatt 57 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 There were ADA seats available for the 24th when I got my tickets... but I wasn't sure if I could get those, if it was morally dubious, or if it wouldn't have seating for me. So I kept my conscience light and my wallet a little heavier and went with the lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience so far, I've always preferred the view from anywhere in the shed over anywhere on the lawn, even if you have to sit far away. The lawn can still be kind of magical if you just want to listen and enjoy the beauty of Tanglewood itself. rpvee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 I'm sure the Tanglewood season will be broadcast over at WCRB as it is every year. And I do hope that they include the video of the concerts as part of their BSONow online streams.

He used to be much more accessible after the Boston concerts until just a few years ago. He would sign and take pics as he arrived and left Symphony Hall (I even have a signed print of that pic with him). Sadly, that tradition stopped thanks to eBay autograph hounds.

rpvee 805 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Just got off the phone after a 40 minute wait, got the two farthest right seats in section 2 row D (which will be the second row, according to the box office person I spoke with). Closest they had available. Far to the side, but at least way closer than the row P seats I got before. TBD what I’ll end up doing with my older tickets, but I’ll post here if I end up selling them! At face value, of course! EDIT: Checked out a seating chart and they’re actually two of only four seats in row D in section 2, right near the front. Dayum.

Andrej 50 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hi there, I have to lawn tickets for this concert. Due to travel ban from EU I won't be able to attend. I'm not sure if there is a official way to transfer ticket to someone else, but if anybody here is interested, I'm happy to discuss the options... I also have 2 lawn tickets for the July 24th concert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
