What does it mean to create your own series?
When you create your own concert series, you’re in charge. Pick any four or more concerts from throughout Carnegie Hall’s season—across all genres and performance spaces—and you’ll earn savings and benefits for your entire series. Simply select the same number of seats for each concert, and choose your preferred seating section and price level for each.
Why should I create a series instead of buying tickets separately?
If you create a concert series, you qualify as a Carnegie Hall subscriber! This means you unlock benefits such as unlimited, free ticket exchanges for maximum flexibility; access to ticket presales and priority seating; significant savings on per-ticket convenience fees, thanks to a one-time $25 subscription handling fee that covers your entire series; discounts at Carnegie Hall and around the neighborhood; and much more.
What is the difference between a “curated series” and one that I create myself?
A curated series features concerts that are carefully selected by our programming team and packaged together thematically. These concerts are all presented in the same concert hall, and you keep the same seats for each performance. When you create your own series, you have the freedom to mix and match concerts, genres, halls, and seating sections. Want to see all your favorites or explore a mix of orchestral music, jazz, opera, Renaissance music, and cabaret? Make your own one-of-a-kind series!
Here are a couple additional differences:
- Because curated-series subscribers enjoy the same seats for each performance, they get the earliest access to the best available seats.
- Subscribers to curated series get first access to renew each season and can do so at the lowest price. Subscribers who create their own series also gain early access to curated series the following season.
Can I buy tickets to any Carnegie Hall event as part of my series?
Nearly the entire 2024–2025 season of Carnegie Hall presentations is available for you to include in your series. Browse or search the concert grid above for a full list of options. All events are subject to availability.
Will I have the same seats for each event?
Since creating your own series gives you access to events across all three halls and at any available price level, you will not have the same seats for each event. If you are interested in having the same seats for all performances, please explore our curated series. Seating is subject to availability.
Do I have to buy the same number of tickets for each event in my series?
Yes, you need to buy the same number of tickets for each event—but you can choose a different seating section for each performance, subject to availability.
What about per-ticket convenience fees? Do those still apply if I create my own series?
No! All subscription series—curated by us or created by you—come with a one-time subscription convenience fee of $25, which covers all tickets in your series and all exchanges. Each ticket outside of a series is subject to a $10 convenience fee,* so subscribers can save significantly by purchasing a concert series instead of individual tickets.
*When purchased outside of a series, tickets $25 and under are subject to a $4 convenience fee when purchased online or by phone.
What subscriber benefits can I expect?
There are many, including free, unlimited ticket-exchange privileges; presales throughout the current season and when the next season is announced; restaurant and parking discounts; and more. Here’s a snapshot of your subscriber benefits.
When can I start creating my own series?
Both 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 Carnegie Hall subscribers and current members have early access to create their own series beginning June 5 at 11 AM. The general public gains access June 8 at 11 AM. You can create your own series all season long, as long as there are four or more concerts available to purchase.
