ami1436 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Hi folks, I'm looking for a ticket for this Saturday's performance by the Mariinsky at the Kennedy Center. I'm happy to pay face-value, but I am a post-doc... (in other words, there's no way I'll be able to afford the top-priced tickets!). If anyone has an extra or suddenly can't go, please let me know. I need to know no later than Friday, as I'll have to drive up to DC on Saturday. Thanks so much!
YID Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Official site shows (& I checked them all, they are available) (at 3.37pm on Wednesday) Sat. 1:30pm, a couple of seats at $99, at $69, and 2 seats at $29 Sat 7:30pm a couple of tickets at $99 and at $69. Good luck
emilienne Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 From Natalia in the related Mariinsky performances thread: Re. Tix - it's selling very well. I just tried to get tickets for neighbors and there's only 1 back-orch seat left for Friday night, for ex; nothing in Box, 1st or 2nd tier. Both Saturday performances (mat & eve) are totally sold out. Like Friday, the Sunday matinee has only 1 seat remaining, in Orch. Several possibilities: 1 you may be able to pick up extra tickets from returns at the box office (not guaranteed but possible) - they are considered donations to the KC as the box office is able to re-sell the ticket. 2 you may be able to buy a ticket from a patron who ended up with an extra ticket (KC is federal property - you'd have to do it outside the premises for legal reasons if money is changing hands). 3 A patron may give you a ticket inside the premises, either because they are big of heart or because they need to catch a bus home (though if you're second-acting and end up seeing only Scheherazade...well...) 4 KC may sell some of the box seats on the sides (I forget what they are called) that may have partially obstructed views. Good luck!
ami1436 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks to all! I had called the box office this morning - nothing was available, no standing would be sold they said, and no standbys. But now, there are tickets... huzzah for me!
