PALACE OF ARTS SEASON TICKETS 2012/2013
Changing the usual order of things, as of the fall of 2012 the Palace of Arts will be switching to seasonal programming and accordingly classical music season tickets will also include programmes from the whole season. This change will be more than allowing visitors to secure entry to selected events in the Spring all the way to June of next year. Programmes included in the various season tickets will in part follow the traditional principle: concerts of similar musical genres will be included in a given “package”, with varied programmes and outstanding soloists. The Palace of Arts’ season ticket selection will also include diverse pairings in which various performers and ensembles will take to the stage with compositions of different styles. Selection also has overlapping points. For instance, there are season tickets including the recommendations of the Artist of the Season, or in other cases samplers of concerts that are part of longer running series – catering for visitors who like to sample the festival-like event series of the Palace of Arts.
Between 17 and 24 April 2012, Müpa Card Holders can purchase these season tickets for the 2012/2013 season before everyone else, while others may start purchasing from 24 April
- by going online and clicking on PURCHASE SEASON TICKETS,
- or in person at the Palace of Arts ticket offices.
The season tickets are more than simple reference points in the ‘jungle of concerts’ which the Palace of Arts offers its audience this season: they also allow visitors to purchase tickets at discounted prices. They offer tickets with a 15 percent discount compared to full price and Müpa Card Holders receive a further 5 percent discount. Palace of Arts gift vouchers can still be used for payment.
