Boston Symphony Orchestra Rush Tickets: Affordable, Excellent Seats

Posted by Sarah Canice Funke Oct 13, 2008

For many classical music fans, a trip to the Boston Symphony Orchestra may only be a rare treat, experienced every once in a while after carefully hoarding up the price of a ticket. But for those who are willing to attend the symphony on a less crowded weekday and to get to the symphony hall a little early, a trip to the BSO is made a more common reality through the affordable Rush Ticket.

Rush Tickets are available for $9 at 5pm on the night of a Tuesday or Thursday performance or at 10am on the morning of a Friday afternoon performance. These tickets are not simply the leftover seats in the farthest balcony, but are often in the very front rows. If ticket prices are the only thing prohibiting a classical music fan from experiencing one of the country's top orchestras, take advantage of the inexpensive but excellent Rush Ticket seats.
