My eyes swept over the online seating chart still on my desktop screen. “All right,” she said, and I could hear her clacking her keys, searching. “I want it close but not too close,” I kept saying. The ticket agent was patient with me as I considered, then rejected, a few of the seats she said were available. I’d searched around online, using the SFB’s website’s seat selection system, but when the page froze on me I called the ticket office directly.
Being a born bargain hunter, I always seek out the cheaper seat that is adjacent to the more expensive one.
Invariably, every row will have a spot where the pricing shifts, for example, from the $100 ticket to the $65 ticket (don’t quote me this is hypothetical). The seating in the War Memorial Opera House, like most performing arts venues, has pricing based on where the seat is. Even, or especially if you’re on the fence about it. I’d so enjoyed the San Francisco Ballet’s Programs 3 and 4 and was hungering to see more.Īnything’s worth a call. Going into the city is a haul for me, eighty miles, and over the Santa Cruz Mountains, so it’s always worth it to double up on activities. There was no gimmick, no magic formula, no knowing of the right person. I simply called the San Francisco Ballet’s ticket office, back in mid-March and asked about the availability of various seats for the 2:00pm performance on Saturday April 20. I had a ticket already for the San Francisco Symphony’s 8:00pm performance that night, just across the street.
