After another generous post on moneysavingexpert.com, a couple of days ago I recieved 3 tickets to go and see BBC Prom's Plus on Sunday 26th July. Now, not being that interested in the proms, I still find these tickets to be a great freebie!
Hosted in the Royal Albert Hall, the proms are a national highlight of the year; thousands tuning in to the BBC to watch them! After receiving 3 tickets to see proms plus, at first I was confused about whether I had got actual proms tickets, which usually cost around £75, or something else. However, after a look in the brochure that came with the tickets, I found out that I am booked in to see some performances from the Royal College of Music and the Royal Geographical Society.
The seats which I have got places for are not that great, they are really high up and to the side a bit, but that is mainly because of my stupidity of not grasping some tickets straight away.
As the stars are concerned, I will not be able to give any stars to this freebie just yet. On Sunday 26th July, I will give the tickets a rating, based upon the quality of performances and the experience as a whole.

I'm listening to it live now on BBC3, and it is just amazing... the Proms is something I look forward to every year!
ReplyDeleteAs a occasional classical music enthusiast, sometimes it is really hard to choose which of the 70+ proms to attend. There are numerous guides out there to the top picks, but I did my own research and after a few hours came up with my top 5 Proms which I will be attending this year and which I can recommend:
