Solti's Beethoven

[George K]

By the way, I had a subscription to the CSO back in the mid 1970s. It was in the gallery, the nosebleed section. A season's subscription, for 10 concerts was $35. That's about $170 today. $17 per concert. Those were remarkable years: Solti was the new-ish music director, Carlo Maria Guilini was the principal guest conductor.

This, pretty much was my view:

My seat for the last few seasons is a little better:

The air is so thin up there you'll get a nasal hemorrage.

[Copper]

Yes, it is really dry too, bring plenty of fluids.

What would be considered the best seat? I think a bit better to be slightly elevated like your current seat.

[Klaus]

First row. The viewing angle is sometimes not optimal, but the sound is good and it has the best legroom.

From the Chicago Tribune a few years ago:

How does the aisle seat get designated C102?

What happened to C101?

The seats to the left have even numbers: C102, C104, C106, etc.

The seats to the right have odd numbers. My seat was C103, right next to C101.

[Copper]

OK, odd people on the right.
