Amazing season ticket deal from National Ballet of Canada

The National Ballet of Canada announced today a new kind of subscription which makes ballet very affordable.  It is an interesting concept. For less than  $60 a ticket, you get whatever is the best seat left available in the house as of 5 pm the day before your performance date. This could end up being in the 5th ring, where standard individual ticket prices are $56, but it could equally be in prime orchestra seating, where standard individual ticket prices are $184. In my experience of buying tickets for the National Ballet of Canada, best available seating the day before a performance is usually in the orchestra, so this is an amazing deal. A very interesting initiative to get people to come to the ballet and fill those last-minute empty seats.

Here is the info from the NBOC's website.
