I'm a Cheap Date

Hey LOC young artists, if you don't think you can afford to go to the Met, think again! Here are a couple of cheap deals.
From the Met website:

"Student Discount Tickets for full time students, age 29 or under, are available at 10 am on the day of the performance (pending availability), and may be purchased at the Metropolitan Opera Box Office. Prices are $25 for weekday performances and $35 for Friday and Saturday performances. A valid student ID and proof of age must be presented at the time of purchase. We are aware that some elementary schools do not provide a student ID.

Exceptions will be made when the student is present at the time of purchase.

Limit two tickets per performance."

Also, for anyone:

"The rush-ticket program returns, thanks once again to a generous gift from Met Board member Agnes Varis and her husband, Karl Leichtman. Two hundred orchestra seats are available for $20 each Monday through Thursday, excluding galas and opening nights of new productions."

Just arrive 2 hours prior to the performance (actually, you should try to get there earlier. Trish arrived 2 1/2 hours early for La Traviata w/ Renee Fleming and there were already over 200 people in line. But it was Renee).

No comments:

"I'd rather be nine people's favorite thing thana hundred people's ninth favorite thing."
