Toronto Symphony Orchestra Tickets for $10-Under 29 only

[Kurtz7834]

This 'deal' is not new and it runs continuously, but I'm sure there are people who don't know about it:

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra is trying to promote classical music to the younger crowd. A tough sell, but it means aggressive pricing and cheap tickets.

Basically, anyone under the age of 29 can buy tickets to select shows at Roy Thompson Hall for the price of $10 each. They have a show every couple of weeks that is eligible. It is only for select shows, there is a limit of 2 tickets per person, and you will not get the best seats in the house. But anyone who knows what these tickets normally cost knows what a great deal this is.

I went to see Ben Heppner there a few weeks ago and the seats I got were actually very good, up in the balcony but close to the stage.

Anyways, if that's your cup of tea, check it out, it's a great cheap 'classy' date. Membership is free, but under 29s only. Your guest however can be of any age.

Thanks alot Kurtz, I had no idea. I live downtown and always want to go but find the prices prohibitive. I just turned 29, but luckily my wife still qualifies for another year. To confirm, she can buy tickets for both of us right?

[Kurtz7834]

Catram, i just checked on the web site, and my mistake, valid ages are 15-29.

So you can still buy tickets until you hit 30. Alternately, your wife can buy tickets for the two of you. You just have to register online and they'll mail you a membership card.

this is a great deal I have been taking advantage of for two years! love Roy Thompson Hall! Everyone should go atleast once even if you arent particularily into the music.

[.EE.]

How long are these performances?

Any chance that Handel's Messiah will go for $10?

Hot Deal, I'd definitely take that up if I lived in Toronto.

yea symphony rules. i love playing my double bass. *sigh* the memories of playing in Roy Thomson Hall when I was like 14 with All-City strings... :(

I saw Holst's "the planets" last year and it was great. $10 well spent! Soundcheck seats are good seats too. Last time I was there it was on the main mezzanine, in the middle section. Sound was great. They sometimes also have receptions after the show where there is free food and drink.

I dont see any performances listed under"buy tickets". How often are the shows listed?

[spart]

If I buy two tickets (im < 29) can I bring an over 29 yo person along?

Edit:
Found the answer:

"Does my guest have to be 15-29?
No. Your guest may be anyone of any age."

I was wondering the same thing.. This could potentially be a good Christmas gift.

There seems to be a new Tsoundcheck eligible show every 2 weeks or so, this time of year.

I think the season runs Fall to Spring, I don't think there are any shows in the summer.

thanks for the heads up!

...gf will enjoy soaking up some enriching culture :P

[Kurtz7834]

Bump of an old thread, lest someone who hasn't seen this and doesn't know about it would be interested.

[crazyboie]

Thanks Kurtz! I didn't know but it sounds pretty sweet!

[ill_mango]

Thanks Kurtz, I will be sure to pick some up!

[Oreo_The_Cookie]

Thanks for the bump, too bad I don't have anyone who'd want to go with me :unsure:

[Fantaz]

Deal is still operational!

[udh]

Do they require you to show ID at the entrance? I am just wondering how they can enforce the restricted age rule. What if you bought the tickets, but can't go and decide to give them to your parents or relatives?

[steivewonder88]

wow! this is a fantastic deal! thanks for the bump! would have never seen this otherwise.

[otaku]

Yes how do they know of your age? Curious

[sonicspeed]

Thanks for bring this post up. The price is now $12 (still pretty good). And from their FAQ, they check your id when picking up the tickets.

[sprung]

when I was 29 (and under) I used this deal a lot. Be prepared for tons of calls later to donate/buy packages/etc. I get a fundraising call at least once every 2 months. Still a great deal though.

[emz]

wow thanks for the deal! i didn't know about this and it's awesome because I enjoy classical music even though I don't regularly listen to it :)

[ShadowVlican]

man they should play some final fantasy music.... i'm sure they'll sell out !@#$ fast

judging from other Dear Friends concerts, I'd say the tickets would sell very well...too bad the concerts are over (for now)

but otherwise, thanks for the deal, would definitly try to go sometime soon

[dobblehead]

wow thanks for the bump. i would never have known. 10 a ticket is an awesome price imo

[ah bao]

same here... i've never knew it was such a cheap price.. like many thought these tickets were really expensive..

[Fantaz]

Tickets raised to $12, but still significantly cheaper. Great deal for the best music! Nothing beats the classics.
