Hi Stu, I have to echo prima donna's comments, this is going to be such an event you'll regret not going. I'm a notorious homebody and I'm going. Have a look at the photo gallery of the symphony hall and you can clearly see that even the Grand tier seats look like good'uns.

Still not convinced? Okay, forget about the seat for a moment; just close your eyes and imaging the sound of the band, the orchestra, the choir, the atmosphere! Oh boy, are you really sure you want to miss out on this?
Anybody else out there that thinks they've missed the boat, there's still time so come on, book your seats and book a room at the Jurys inn while you still can.
