Tips & Advice

  • Book online without a booking fee and use your ticket either printed at home or as a mobile ticket on your phone.
  • Check the seat map when choosing between the three seating categories, so you know where in the cathedral you will sit.
  • Note that Sunday concerts begin later in the evening than the Friday and Saturday performances when you choose your date.
  • Use the restroom beforehand, since the concert runs 65 minutes straight through with no intermission.
  • If weekends don't work, book the extra performance on Wednesday, December 23, the last concert of the series before Christmas.
