Hello DreamTheater!

On our forum homepage, under the Performance forum, you'll see a little sub-forum called Proms 2011. This is the link (http://www.for3.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?59-Proms-2011), to save you time. These are all the crumbs we've managed to glean so far.

The full programme is being announced next Thursday, April 14. I assume it will be on the updated Proms 2011 site, but the BBC is still working off the old 2010 at the moment, which is here. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/2010/)

[Btw, I'll upgrade the Proms to its own forum once things get started]

Ha! Pipped at the post again :smiley:

I usually find, in the case of RAH proms which have apparently "sold out" that a whole load of seats miraculously become available around the middle of June, particularly in the stalls and boxes. I assume these are mostly members' returns. I had no trouble getting stalls seats last year for Mahler 8 and also one of the Berliner proms, long after they had been advertised as fully booked.

7. Prom 38: Film Music Prom
8. Prom 40: Comedy Prom


aka the weekend I noted in my Proms season plan as "Weekend Most Likely for a Quick Continental Trip" :)

From the RAH's website, the Proms Chamber Music 3 concert with Les Talens Lyriques on August 1 can be added to the "This event has no seats available" list of advance-sold Proms.
