How to get Prommer tickets
Around 1,000 tickets to each Prom are made available on the day, at the price of just £8.
So, if you fancy a slightly different Proms experience, you could join the Prommers and queue for these £8 tickets on the door.
For each concert at the Royal Albert Hall there are around 1,000 standing places in the Arena and Gallery made available for Prommers. There are also a handful of seats in the Choir and, very occasionally, seats in the Rear Rausing Circle, for Prommers. For most concerts you can also book up to two tickets online from 10.30am on the day of the concert.
All standing Promming tickets are unreserved, so you get to choose where you stand when you arrive.
How do you get tickets for the Last Night of the Proms?
The Last Night of the Proms is a slightly different affair. Owing to the huge demand for tickets to this grand finale, special booking arrangements apply. There are several ways to get tickets for this concert including the Open Ballot, Five-Concert Ballot, the general sale, purchasing a Whole Season Pass and Day Promming.
The majority of tickets to the Last Night of the Proms are allocated via these ballots. Any remaining tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday 19 July (maximum of 2 tickets per booker).
Day Promming tickets are available to purchase online for the Last Night of the Proms from 10.30am on the day. Tickets cost £8 (including fees) and Prommers can book up to 2 tickets.
If you have attended at least five other Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, you can enter the ballot to buy a maximum of two tickets for the Last Night. You can find out more about the Five-Concert Ballot here.
