You’re our priority We know how important your favourite seat is to you. If you are a returning Subscriber, let us know on the form where you normally sit and we’ll do our best to allocate your choice of seat*. Subscription booking forms can be completed at any time throughout the season but to help us secure your usual seat for you we provide a ‘subscription-only’ priority booking period – from MONDAY 23 MAY until FRIDAY 10 JUNE 2016. (Tickets for individual concerts don’t then go on sale until Monday 27 June 2016, giving the Box Office time to process your subscription).
Conveniently book all your other concerts The Orchestra is very busy in this special anniversary season and, as well as the subscription season concerts, you can also book now for all the other concerts at the Ulster Hall/Belfast Waterfront using this form. And there’s even some extra savings to be made, just for subscribers.
What are you waiting for? Turn over to start saving!
*We always try to honour your choice of seat but occasionally two subscribers may have been allocated the same seat during different concerts in a previous season. In the case of any conflict, the Box Office will prioritise seats based on the number of concerts a subscriber is booking and then by the date they receive the booking form. The more concerts in your Subscription package each year, the more likely it is that you will be allocated the same seat every year.
