Toronto Symphony Orchestra at a reasonable price

by Joshua Hwang on December 16, 2008

For people like me that haven’t heard of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s tsoundcheck, it allows people between the ages of 15 and 29 to purchase tickets for only $12. To sign up is free. Free!!

For some perspective, even the cheapest tickets can cost $35 dollars. That’s almost three times more.

Why are they doing this?
To raise awareness of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (and orchestral music) within the younger community.

Is there any downside?
The slight downside is that you can’t choose your own seats, so likely they are farther back. However, at these prices, that seems more than fair.

I would like to go, but I have no friends.
What a coincidence! I would like to go, but I also have no friends (that want to go at the very least). So if you would like to see one of the many shows, live within the Greater Toronto Area, and are not a tool, message me up or leave a comment and we’ll arrange something. (Oh I’m not free this Friday.)

I’d love to see a show sometime. It’d give me chance to use my seldom-used suits!

My increasingly used suit could use a night out on the town. Throwing Riyaad in the mix just spices up the deal…

I don’t have a suit (suits suck!) but would like to come anyway!

Ok, I’ll email you guys in a bit for some arrangements. I looked on the site, the level of formality varies a lot, from khakis to full suits. So I don’t think we all need to dress up that much, but hey, any excuse.

p.s. itunes was letting me down with my podcast subscription, so i finally just got the rss feed (why do i even know what this is? i blame eric)
