Celebrity Series of Boston . . . accept no substitutes
Hello, readers,
I have a warning for those of you interested in purchasing Celebrity Series performances for the 2008-2009 season. Online searches for many of our performances will turn up numerous (and I mean NUMEROUS) online vendors promising tickets for performances presented by Celebrity Series of Boston in 2008-2009. The difference between them and us is is that these vendors are not the presenting organization, we are. These vendors are ticket resellers asking considerably more money for their tickets to our events than we ask.
Ticket resellers have operated in our midst for some time, reselling tickets to our more high-demand performances, but these online resellers are either charging very steep prices for tickets to shows which are not sold out (yet) or promising seats they do not actually have, and may never have (in some cases specific seats are listed for sale, and in some of those cases the seat locations listed do not exist in the venue at all!), or both. For example, some vendors have been "selling" our tickets online all summer, even before we seated our subscribers, months before we began selling single tickets.
The Celebrity Series is looking into all of this, but in the meantime, heed this recommendation: buy Celebrity Series tickets from the Celebrity Series of Boston via CelebrityCharge (617) 482-6661, online at www.celebrityseries.org, or from the venues where the performances will take place.
And by the way, single tickets for our entire season - thousands of seats - go on sale Monday morning at 9am.
