Woke up at 3:15 and took Uber at 3:50 to reach the ticket office of the San Francisco Symphony. Today at 8 a.m., the symphony is selling single tickets for next season's performances on a first come first serve basis. Some tickets, the center terrace seats, are selling for $20 each. I was first in line and all alone at the ticket entrance until 4:30, when Mitzi arrived. Norm arrived around 5:15. Alice arrived around 6:20. It was fun to hang out in line and secure our spot to buy tickets.
We were given waffles and lattes, which were delicious! The SFS also handed out free tote bags, a coffee cup, and a program list and pen to check off what concerts we'd like to attend.

We ended up getting ten concert tickets for the season. It's MTT's final season as music director of the symphony, so it's a special year to attend the symphony. His final concert as maestro is Mahler's Symphony No. 8, Symphony of a Thousand, in late June 2020. It's another great program this year. I can't wait to hear such glorious music from such a magnificent symphony orchestra.

I managed to get to work on time, taking BART after purchasing the tickets. The day was pretty busy. I went home to SF after work, had dinner with Alice, then took care of a few things before going to bed.
