Checking three halls' ticketing systems today turned up five concerts already on sale that we had been describing as having no announced ticketing. All five are corrected. Here is what they cost.
The five
Ju Percussion Group — AMPLIFIED+, 25 October, 19:30, Shanghai Symphony Hall. On sale since 14:18 on 27 August, six bands from 80 to 580 yuan, limit four per order. The Taiwanese group's fourth appearance at the China Shanghai International Arts Festival; seven pieces, half of them its own.
Singapore Festival 2026: Harmonic Echoes, two sittings each on 19 and 20 September (14:00 and 19:00), Oriental Recital Hall. The four opened in three waves, the earliest at 16:11 on 24 August. Three bands — 69, 99 and 129 yuan — limit six per order, admission by real name.
Bach and Mozart: A Dialogue Across Time, Schönbrunn Amsterdam Chamber Orchestra, 18 September, 19:30, Shanghai Concert Hall. Two bands, 80 and 120 yuan. Children under 1.2 m are not admitted.
Benjamin Grosvenor Piano Recital, 3 October, 19:30, Shanghai Concert Hall. Five bands from 80 to 480 yuan.
Camille Thomas and Julien Brocal, 11 October, Shanghai Concert Hall. Five bands from 80 to 480 yuan. The curtain time for this one is unsettled: the performance permit records 15:30 and the ticketing page shows something else. We are keeping the permit's time and checking with the presenter. Go by whatever the Shanghai Concert Hall states when you buy.
The Shanghai Symphony added seats: one concert gone in seven minutes
The added seats announced yesterday for six season concerts opened on time at 13:00. The view from all of them is obstructed.
The added seats for Kavakos and Mendelssohn on 18 September came in two bands only, 180 and 80 yuan, and were gone by 13:07 — under seven minutes. That concert now has no tickets at all.
Three others still have some: the first opening concert on 11 September and the second on 13 September at 380/180/80, Dutoit and Leonskaja on 7 October at 580/380/80, and Lintu and the Singapore Symphony on 13 October at 580/380/180. The regular bands are sold out on all four; added seats are all that is left.
Hadelich: registration closes at noon tomorrow
Augustin Hadelich's recital on 22 September is not selling over a counter at all. It moved to a ballot, open since 13:00 today and closing at 12:00 on 29 August, one ticket per mobile number, no seat selection. The entry is on the Shanghai Symphony's WeChat official account. Two regular bands at 780 and 580 yuan, plus added seats at 580, 380 and 180.
Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic: the prices
Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on 9 November went on sale at 14:00 today at the Oriental Concert Hall. When we covered the announcement yesterday the prices had not been published. They have now: six bands at 280, 480, 680, 880, 1080 and 1280 yuan, all at face value with no discounted tier. Limit six per order, admission by real name, online seat selection. Children under 1.2 m are not admitted.
