Met Opera opens lottery for $25 orchestra tickets

This week’s drawing for $25 Metropolitan Opera tickets on the orchestra- or Grand Tier-level offers seats to three performances of Friday and Saturday.

This week’s offerings:

Rigoletto - Friday, April 17, 2009 at 8 p.m.
Siegfried - Saturday, April 18, 2009, at noon
L’ Elisir d’Amore - Saturday, April 18, 2009, at 8:30 p.m.

To get the discounted $25 Met Opera tickets, you must register online from 10 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Monday for a drawing that will determine who gets a chance to buy those tickets. Winners have the option to buy until 5 p.m. Wednesday, when the wait-list gets a shot at the leftovers until Thursday at 5 p.m.

On weekdays, you can get orchestra-level seats for as little as $20 at the Met.

Correction: This story has been corrected to indicate the lottery is open until midnight tonight. An earlier version of the story incorrectly pegged the cutoff at noon.
