What's on by series
You can renew your subscription with no changes, or you can request a change to your seating, number of seats or series (subject to availability).
Subscribers have the option to transfer their seats to another patron in the event they might be travelling for most of the season. Simply request a transfer form from the box office before the renewal deadline.
In the majority of series, only full-pack subscribers are guaranteed the same seats for the concerts each season. (Subscribers to Masters 6-concert packages and Metro 5 concert packages are now entitled to renewable seating.) Subscription packages comprising fewer than the full complement of concerts in the series will be seated in their selected reserve where possible.
If we cannot accommodate your request, we will contact you to discuss options.
After 21 August 2009, we will process mail, online and phone orders strictly by the date in which applications are received for each series category.
The categories themselves will be prioritised as follows:
1. Renewing full pack without change requests
2. Renewing full pack with change requests
3. New full pack orders
4. Renewing connoisseurs and part pack orders
5. New connoisseurs and part pack orders
Payment by cheque, money order, credit card or cash must accompany your booking. Your cheque or money order will be banked, or credit card debited on receipt of your application to establish priority for your application within the Sydney Symphony’s ticketing system. Cash payments can be made in person at the Sydney Symphony box office.
To be eligible to renew your seats, you must submit your renewal by 16 October 2009.
Please note that all prices detailed on renewal forms are full price until proof of concession is provided with your payment. Once proof of concession is supplied, the concession rate will be applied to your order.
Once we receive your order and payment in full and process it according to these procedures we will mail your subscription pack (including tickets, subscriber card and diary stickers). If you have elected to pay in instalments, your tickets will be mailed to you after the balance of your payment is paid. Please note that credit card transactions will be automatically deducted at this time. If you have paid by cheque, we will mail you a reminder to pay each instalment.
Finally, if you do not renew your subscription before 16 October 2009, your seats will be released and become available to others.
