So I just spotted this delightful nugget of joy on the BSO Facebook page:

Big News from the BSO!

We are pleased to announce that a generous donor has come forward to fund tickets for patrons under 40 years old to attend Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts at Symphony Hall on a regular basis. “I have been attending Boston Symphony concerts for years, and I want to make sure the next generation can attend the Symphony as often as they like. My support of this program will enable people under 40 to enjoy the thrill of a live concert at a relatively low cost.” Thanks to this donation, we will be able to offer people under 40 $20 tickets to Symphony Hall for the remainder of the BSO Season.

Tickets can be ordered online, by phone are in person at the Symphony Hall Box Office. All ticket categories are available, so individuals under 40 can purchase $20 tickets normally priced from $29 to $115. The discount can only be offered when seats are available, and now there are approximately 4000 tickets available to several different concerts. Patrons under 40 must show, send us or email us proof of age in order to be able to purchase the tickets at this $20 price. The offer is limited to two tickets per show per individual, but people may purchase 2 tickets to as many shows as are available.

During these challenging economic times, we are thrilled to be able to offer these very affordable ticket prices to build the audience of tomorrow.

Very cool. Definitely recommend snapping up some of these if you live in the Boston area, especially if you can score some orchestra seating.
