Tickets are now available at the Teatro Colon. The box office has returned to its normal location in the Colon. I waited in line two hours yesterday. Surrounded by interesting and chatty people, the experience was almost pleasant. A malfunctioning computer system, poorly trained employees and general disorganization caused the long waits (some people told me that they had been waiting for over four hours!). Anyway, if you want to see the season's first production you had better hurry as some performances were sold out by the time I got to the head of the line at 6PM Thursday. Box office opens at 9 AM on Saturday and Sunday. If you want a good seat, expect to pay. My platea (orchestra) seat was 650 pesos.
