Boston Symphony Orchestra adds third day in March for in-person Tanglewood ticket sales

Tickets will be available Tuesday, March 19, through Thursday, March 21, at the Tanglewood box office.

Lenox — The Boston Symphony Orchestra has added a third day in March when the Tanglewood Box Office will be open for in-person ticket sales. The first day of the public sale is Tuesday, March 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the same hours on the 20th and 21st.

Tickets will be sold inside the Welcome Center, which is right next door to the Main Gate Box Office.

Also note that all tickets to Popular Artists concerts are digital this year, which means they will be delivered in the mobile format (e.g., smart phone) but will also be available to pick up in person at Will Call, in both paper and mobile formats, five days before the concert.

Purchasing Tanglewood tickets in person can save you a lot of money, because when you buy them online, you pay a $7.50 handling fee per ticket.

The 2024 Tanglewood season features Music Director Andris Nelsons in his new role as head of conducting. Nelsons will lead 10 programs and two master classes, including two performances with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra and concerts celebrating Tanglewood founder Serge Koussevitzky’s 150th birth anniversary.

CONCERT REVIEW: An airy spirit comes to Earth, with flutes, at Tanglewood

While audiences come to concerts expecting to hear a selected menu of scores played as written by (frequently) absent composers, here we were confronted with a totally integrated experience of instrumental and vocal sound, many spontaneously created, as well as lights, body movement, and theater.
