We booked the tickets online, picked them them.up from the venue and turned up in the evening for the concert. It was our first real Classical concert and it took a while to get used to the fact that it isn't the done thing to applaud between movements, complete silence until the very end [emoji3]. Glasses of sparkling wine at the interval were £1.50 and all in all it was a great experience in a wonderful building. I ordered some CDs when we got home. I probably wouldn't go in the UK due to the ticket prices.
