  • Sales of the College Card have ended for the season. Please check back on this page in September for information about this program for the upcoming season. If you already have a card, please refer to the instructions below to reserve tickets for an eligible performance.

  • Due to the popularity of this week’s program featuring Andris Nelsons and Hilary Hahn, we are unable to offer tickets to cardholders. Please check back on Monday, April 22, for offerings to the following concert cycle.

On Mondays starting at 10am, you can reserve a ticket for available concerts occurring within the week ahead (linked above once you log in), one (1) ticket per concert series. Tickets will default to mobile tickets unless you select "hold at Box Office" for that week's available performances. Ticketing ends two hours prior to concert time.

Card tickets are made available on a week-by-week basis during the BSO season, subject to availability. We do not guarantee that any particular concert will be offered, but we typically offer at least one performance for most BSO programs.

Check this page often to learn about performance availability and blackout dates. This is the best way to learn which concerts are available with your card.
