Weekend Ticket Drawing

Thanks to the generosity of the Met Opera Board, a limited number of prime seats in the Orchestra and Grand Tier are available for $25 for select weekend performances through the end of the 2008-09 Season. To gain access to these specially priced tickets you must enter the weekly online drawing. Requests must be made on the Monday prior to the weekend performances.

Weekend Ticket Drawing Process

• Monday: From 10:00 am - 11:59 pm ET, select from the available performance(s) listed for the following weekend.
• Tuesday: Drawing is held.  Winners' names, as well as those on the wait list, will be posted on the Met's website.  At that time, winners may begin purchasing the tickets on metopera.org, by calling 212-362-6000 or by visiting the Met Opera Box Office.  Winners will also be contacted via email.
• Wednesday: Tickets must be purchased by 5:00 pm ET or the tickets will be forfeited and released to those on the wait list.  Wait list tickets may be purchased on a first-come, first-served basis by calling 212-362-6000, on metopera.org, or by visiting the Met Opera Box Office.  
• Thursday:  Wait list tickets must be purchased by 5:00 pm ET or the tickets will be forfeited and released for sale at the regular price.

Only one entry per person and per household.  If you select more than one performance, you are eligible to win both from a single entry form. Do not enter more than once per week. Winners are eligible to purchase up to two tickets per performance.  Specific seat locations are random and non-negotiable. Some exclusions apply. Read the  Official Rules.
