How do you get tickets for hard-to-get operas?
I am of course referring specifically to Parsifal this winter, with Haitink in the pit.
I will, in the words of a friend, "kill several times over to get a ticket", but before I turn to the knife, what else will help?

A trick my father taught me is to go to the box office the night of the performance...there are always cancellations and getting single seat should not be a problem. If you are taking a date then this trick might not work so well. Did you try the internet like www.ticketmaster.co.uk ?
sorry I can not be of more help Michel.

Are they all sold out at the moment?
I would suggest that you give them a call from time to time to see if you can score some returns.
They aren't even on sale yet -- I am preparing. :)
