Free Boston Symphony Orchestra Tickets

Thanks to gift from the late Harvard Professor Arthur Maass, undergraduate students at Harvard can receive free tickets to selected performances by the BSO. Professor Maass was a long-time subscriber and patron of the BSO with his membership beginning in 1946. Upon his passing, a provision in his estate plans dictated that funds were to be made available to supply tickets to Harvard undergraduates.

As a reminder to all undergraduates interested in the free BSO Ticket program, standard policy for claiming tickets is as follows:

* BSO tickets will be made available approximately one week in advance of any given show, depending on ticket availability from the BSO box office.

* Notification of available performances and ticket quantities is now in The Beat, Harvard's weekly arts vibe (to subscribe, please email The Beat (thebeat@fas) with "subscribe" in the subject heading of your email. Include your name, class year, and email address in the body of your email.) Each week, under the listing "Free Boston Symphony Orchestra Tickets," there will be information about the availability of tickets for the coming week's performances. The tickets will be available for pick-up on the day stated in the listing starting at 1pm at 74 Mt. Auburn St.

* They will be available after 1pm on a first-come, first-served basis and must be picked up in person.

* When picking up tickets, students must show a valid Harvard undergraduate student ID and may receive, at max, 2 tickets per ID.

* Students that receive tickets must wait one month from the performance date before they are again eligible to participate in the program.

The BSO Ticket Distribution list has now become part of The Beat, Harvard's weekly arts vibe. The Beat is sent electronically each week on Thursday afternoon.
