Foxfan 134 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Wow! Thinking of renting an apartment in the Boston area for those 5 weeks! Or I'll drive down every weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 8,430 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 This seems much easier to access for someone travelling to NY than remote Lenox. You could simply fly from NY to Boston.I'm very tempted to take an US 'east coast' holiday next year (having done the west coast this year), but as always it's a matter of money.

WilliamsStarShip2282 321 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Having been a donor for many years now, I get second pick after the rich people. So basically Im able to buy my tickets long before the public. Anyways, I was the first person to call this morning for pre-sale tickets and they were nearly ALL SOLD OUT. They told me there is a great possibilty there will be none left for the general public when the time comes. So on the day the tickets are for public sale, DONT HESITATE INCASE THERE ARE ANY LEFT OVER!!!! because im sure they will be gone almost instantly. Heres the link incase anyone needs it and tickets go on sale Dec.5 at 10 am US time. http://www.bso.org/Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWfangirl1992 18 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Are you kidding me?! He's doing four or five shows, this sucks. Possibility of them adding on an extra show? I was really looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWfangirl1992 18 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Okay I just called the BSO and they said that they weren't almost sold out. However, the guy I spoke with did not seem like the most intelligent being in the world. If someone wants to maybe call and ask the same to find out for sure?

WilliamsStarShip2282 321 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 well, i know there are some shows that are totally sold out.....im not sure if its williams though. it might be the mad men concerts, but they said that most of the seats were taken for all of the williams shows. I posted this mainly because they might actually have seats left even though it might say sold out on the site, but its usually just random seats here or there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien F 1,773 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 OK, so I just rang the BSO myself. When I mentioned I would be travelling from Ireland if I could get tickets, he actually transferred me to the guy who can see what's currently available (gotta admire that Irish-Boston connection ).According to his system, there is less than 50% of seats available, but he is pretty confident that there will still be tickets available when the box office opens on Wednesday morning, especially as there are 4 dates this year.On an related note, I recently found out that a colleague I've been working with for the last 11 months is a big JW fan and she saw him in Boston in 2006. It's such a nice surprise to meet a score fan in real life. We're so rare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxfan 134 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'll be back... on Saturday.They better have good ORCH seats left though... if not I may just wait until 2-3 weeks before the concert when they typically open the first two rows. Happens every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWfangirl1992 18 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Is that so? Any particular reason they do this? and yes I agree I am hoping for good orchestra seats myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfan 134 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They assume he wants a stage extension (for a chorus, soloists, etc.) but when he shows up for rehearsals I guess he says "Oh, I don't need it," so they restore the table space.Well I'm logged in waiting to click on the concert at 10:00...

Foxfan 134 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Got'em! Row E Table 102. Still three seats there if fellow JWFans want to join me.Forget what I said about the first rows being released later. They are on sale NOW, but only on the sides. It happened one year (2006) where they only extended the podium section to give the conductor a little more space. As the discount for row A is now only $20 you're better off coming back 3-4 rows and being centred.Don't worry. There are PLENTY of seats left for Saturday night. Rows C, D, E, F, G almost untouched. It's mostly the balcony seats that get snapped up by locals first because they're cheaper, but if you're actually travelling to Boston, the price difference pales in comparison to what you'll pay for lodging, transportation.

JWfangirl1992 18 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Can someone help me! I don't understand this table business, I am currently in Row F for a table seat 1 and 2. On the little viewer that popped up my view looks great however I am looking at a seating plan on the bso website and it doesn't have any tables and seats one and two are at the far end!

Jay 39,584 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 OK I got in. Marcy and I will be in the left side balcony Saturday night. Front row seats, a little ways back. I actually prefer the balcony to the tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxfan 134 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Since so many of us are going again we should really contact the BSO ahead of time this year to make it onto a guest list for Saturday night to ensure that we get a group photo with the Maestro after the concert.
