Almost 125,000 tickets sold so far, with 15 Proms currently standing tickets only
I am thrilled that this year’s opening on sale weekend has been record-breaking, demonstrating the UK’s passion for live music. It’s noteworthy that the 15 best-selling Proms reflect the breadth and variety of what the BBC Proms offers, from international orchestras and star soloists through to family concerts and genre-defying gems.
David Pickard, Director, BBC Proms says: “I am delighted that the 2024 Proms, my last as Director, are proving so appealing. With many of our core classical concerts selling fast, it shows that the public's appetite for classical orchestral music is as strong as ever. To see such huge audiences for Mahler, Beethoven, Britten, Bruckner, Verdi and Holst reinforces the original vision of the festival - to bring the best of classical music to the widest possible audience.
