Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Buy a single ticket to any concert online or by calling the box office at (215) 545-1739, or sign up on the site for news and offers..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Concerts are given in different places, including halls, churches, museums and cloisters, so check the venue on your ticket. Weekend concerts listed on the site start at 4 pm. Lectures at the Philadelphia Ethical Society run on Sunday afternoons at 2:30 pm and cost $25 per person.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the venue on your ticket before you go, since concerts move between halls, churches and museums.
  • If you drive to the Kimmel Center, the garage entrance is just south of the Broad Street entrance, and you can only reach it by driving south on Broad Street.
  • The Walnut-Locust station on the Broad Street Line is about two blocks away, and buses 9, 21, 32 and 42 run nearby.
  • Call the box office at (215) 545-1739 to ask about seating or access, since the site does not describe them.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Concerts and lectures are open to the public with a ticket, and the site has a clear way to buy in, though it has no first-timer guide..
