## BSO Tickets

 

 

   ![Boston Symphony Orchestra logo](/sites/g/files/omnuum4081/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/makeart/files/bsologo.jpg?itok=OqPgR-YE) 

 

## Learn about the BSO tickets at OFA

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.

## Standard policy for claiming tickets is as follows:

- BSO tickets will be made available approximately one week in advance of any given concert, depending on ticket availability from the BSO box office. We generally begin to receive tickets in late September/Early October.
- Notification of available performances and ticket quantities is published in [The Beat](/beat), Harvard's weekly arts digest (subscribe [here](http://harvard.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=9e1a7518c791a1989fe8bcfc3&id=5560115c96)).
    - Distribution dates/times will be listed in The Beat
    - Tickets will be on a first-come, first-served basis and must be picked up in person. Lines can form early (sometimes up to 1 hour before distribution begins!)
    - Please wait quietly and in an orderly manner until distribution time begins.
    - To receive tickets, students must show a valid Harvard undergraduate student ID. Limit is typically two tickets per ID, subject to change. (Occasionally students are permitted to four tickets, pending BSO availability.)
    - Students who receive tickets must wait two weeks after the BSO performance date before they are again eligible to participate in the program.

**This opportunity is available to Harvard undergraduates only.** [Sign up](http://harvard.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=9e1a7518c791a1989fe8bcfc3&id=5560115c96) for The Beat for the latest on concert dates and availability of free BSO tickets.
