Priority Seating

Subscribers and Patrons are assured the best seats in the house. Season Subscribers are assigned seats before the general public and keep the same seats throughout the season.

Advance Purchase of Single Tickets

Back by popular demand! Season Subscribers and Patrons can purchase single tickets to the full season, as well as tickets to gala events — Opening Night, the 125th-Anniversary Gala and New Year’s Eve, at the time that you subscribe. It’s the best way to ensure you don’t miss this season’s hit productions that may not be on your subscription.

New! Advance Purchase to the Ring Cycle

In addition to being able to purchase as many additional single tickets as you like, only Subscribers and Patrons will be able to purchase
the Ring cycle during this exclusive subscription priority sales period.

Subscriber Savings

Season Subscribers enjoy significant savings over single ticket prices—up to 36% off.

Exchange Privileges

As a Season Subscriber, you may exchange any performance on your series for another one up until one week prior to the performance. Tickets will be exchanged based on availability.*

And There’s More!

Discounts on lectures and special Metropolitan Opera Guild programs; free shipping and handling for additional single tickets and Ring cycle orders when purchased with a Season Subscription; advance notice of special offers from the Met; and for new subscribers, a Guest Pass to the Belmont Room private lounge for pre-performance and intermission.
