Why do people sometimes have to wait a short time before they can join the Friends Scheme?
The NSO Friends’ Scheme has proved immensely popular as it offers the Friends such good value. However there is a limit to the number of people who can be accommodated both at the Sunday Symphony Series and at the Friends’ special events. With the extended stage in place, the Corn Exchange offers only about 670 seats. The NSO must ensure that the members of the Friends’ scheme are able to get the tickets they require, and the orchestra is also keen to make sure that there are some seats available for the general public if possible. Careful monitoring is in place to maintain the right balance of supply and demand and so, from time to time, for the benefit of everyone, those wishing to become Friends’ of the Norfolk Symphony Orchestra are asked to wait a short time before their application is accepted.
