Promming Tickets
What is Promming?
The popular tradition of Promming is central to the unique and informal atmosphere of the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
Day Prommers
Up to 1,400 standing places are available at each Proms concert. The traditionally low prices allow you to enjoy world-class concerts for just £5.00 each (or even less with a Season Ticket or Weekend Promming Pass).
There are two standing areas: the Arena, located directly in front of the stage, and the Gallery, running round the top of the Hall. All spaces are unreserved.
Over 500 Arena and Gallery tickets (priced £5.00) go on sale 30 minutes before doors open (one hour before on days when there are pre-Prom talks to allow Prommers to attend these events). These tickets cannot be booked in advance, so even if all seats have been sold, you always have a good chance of getting in (though early queuing is advisable for the more popular concerts). You must buy your ticket in person, and must pay by cash.
Wheelchair-users who wish to Prom (Gallery only) should queue in the same way but will be redirected to Door 8 once their ticket is purchased.
FURTHER INFORMATION FOR DISABLED CONCERT-GOERS
Day tickets are available (for cash only) at Door 11 (Arena) and Door 10 (Gallery), not at the Box Office. If you are in doubt about where to go, Royal Albert Hall stewards will point you in the right direction.
Weekend Promming Pass
Beat the queues at the weekend and save money with the weekend Promming pass.
In addition to discounted tickets, the Weekend Promming Pass offers guaranteed access up to 10 minutes before start-time to the Arena or Gallery standing areas for all concerts in the Royal Albert Hall on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (excluding Proms 13, 75 and 76).
Proms Chamber Music - Cadogan Hall
£30.00 PCM series pass
Hear all eight Proms Chamber Concerts for just £30.00, with guaranteed access to the Side Gallery until 12:50pm (after which PCM Series Pass-holders may be asked to join the day queue).
At least 150 Side Gallery (bench) seats will be available for just £5.00 each from 10.00am on the day of the concert. These tickets can only be bought at Cadogan Hall. They must be purchased in person and with cash only, and are limited to two tickets per transaction.
