Bruckner is God

Hi, I was trying to book tickets to a Concertgebouw concert, but had to give up.
It seems there  is no english version of the website, and I don't understand a word of dutch.
I am sure they had an english version in the past, because I have booked tickets before through their website.
Can I book through another website?
Any help would be musch appreciated.

Google Chrome can translate web pages on the fly.  It won'd translate text on images, such as buttons, but all ordinary text can be translated.

The English version can be accessed through the home page--look for "English" in the greenish box at the right.  (Granted, it doesn't "jump out at you!")

Alternatively, I've e-mailed the box office, or just telephoned them, and iif you offer a quick, "Spreekt u Engels?" ("Do you speak English?"), you will get a "Yes" almost immediately.  :D

The Concertgebouworkest has an english version, but the problem is that when I click the "order" button, I am being transfered to the Concertgebouw website which doesn't seem to have an english version.
I guess I'll have to email the box office...
Thanks for the advices guys!

Or seriously, just call them--they've been very nice on the phone when I've done so.
