THE LAST NIGHT
Owing to the huge demand for Last Night tickets, special booking arrangements apply. Your best chance of purchasing tickets for the
Last Night of the Proms is through the Advance Booking system
ADVANCE BOOKING FOR THE LAST NIGHT
The Six Concert Rule
In order to apply for any tickets for the Last Night during the Advance Booking period (ie before General Booking opens on Tuesday 27th May), you must book for at least six other concerts in the 2008 season.
Book one ticket in the same seating area for at least six other concerts in the 2008 season and you can apply at the same time for a single ticket in the same seating area for the Last Night. For example, book a ticket in the Stalls for six concerts, and you can apply for one ticket in the Stalls for the Last Night.
Book two or more tickets in the same seating area for at least six other concerts in the 2008 season and you can apply at the same time for a maximum of two tickets in the same seating area for the Last Night (ie whether you book two or 22 Stalls tickets for six concerts, you can still apply for only two Stalls tickets for the Last Night).
Note that, if you book tickets for at least six other concerts but in different seating areas, you will be allocated Last Night seats in the area of the majority of your bookings (unless you specify that lower-priced tickets are desired).
We regret that, if the Last Night is sold out by the time your application is processed, no refunds for other tickets purchased will be payable.
GENERAL BOOKING FOR THE LAST NIGHT
Once General Booking opens (on Tuesday 27th May), the ‘Six Concert Rule’ no longer applies. Last Night tickets have usually sold out by this stage, but returns occasionally become available for sale, so it’s always worth checking with the Box Office.
Please note that, for all Last Night bookings, only one application (for a maximum of two tickets) can be made per household.
SPECIAL OFFERS
SAME DAY SAVERS
Book for more than one concert on the same day and save £4.00 on your ticket for each subsequent concert.

UNDER-16S
The Proms are a great way to discover live music, and we encourage anyone over 5 years old to attend. Tickets for Under-16s can be purchased at half-price in any seating area for all Proms except the Last Night (Prom 76).
Note that the Doctor Who Prom (Prom 13) is expressly designed to introduce young children to concert-going.
Group Bookings
Group booking rates apply to all Proms except the Last Night (Prom 76). Groups of 10 or more can claim a 10% discount on the price of Centre/Side Stalls or Front/Rear Circle tickets for all Proms in the A, B, D, E and G price bands, and a 5% discount for C band concerts.
Please note that group purchases cannot be made online during the General Booking period.
CAR PARKING
A limited number of parking spaces are available from 6.00pm in the Imperial College Car Park (Prince Consort or Exhibition Road entrances). These can be booked in advance (priced £7.50) by ticking the appropriate column on the Advance Booking Form (facing page 142) or by telephoning the Box Office (open 9.00am–9.00pm daily, from 27May) on 0845 401 5040. Please note that, if attending both early-evening and late-night concerts, only one parking fee is payable.
EXPRESS BOOKINGS
All booking forms that include a request for an A band concert qualify for express booking. To increase your chances of getting the tickets you want for popular concerts in price bands B and C, you should book for an A band concert too. If you are booking for a Doctor Who Prom only (price band G), your booking will also qualify for express booking.
