Promming at the RAH

With this years Proms Season coming to a close on the 10th of September, I thought an impromptu promming visit to the gallery might suit some.
The performance this Friday 2nd Sept. is Beethoven's Ninth by Chineke! Orchestra which of course will be very popular.
However it is now possible to buy a promming ticket for the gallery on the day immediately after 10:30am (but you will have to be quick!)

Beforehand go to https://tickets.royalalberthall.com/ and set up or check your account with the Royal Albert Hall, then on the day, sign in just before 10:30 am and on the stroke of 10:30 click the Day Promming button on the Menu options. Ensure the  CHOOSE TICKETS button is lit up and book your tickets for the Gallery (you can book up to two tickets) Cost is £7.12p per ticket. If you attempt to buy before 10:30am the event will show as SEASON PASS HOLDERS ONLY, but this will change to CHOOSE TICKETS after 10:30 am
I'm hopeful the Season Pass holders won't nobble all the tickets beforehand but these tickets will go fast!

If you're successful, we traditionally meet on the steps leading to the Albert Memorial (https://what3words.com/affair.wings.pits) for a picnic and a tipple from about 6:30 pm - the performance starts at 7:30 pm
There's a bag check on entry and there were some concerns about bottles falling over the balcony edge, but I've never been refused a small plastic bottle of water.  Those of you who haven't visited before may wish to consider bringing a small cushion or mat to sit on.
