Four concerts already selling at the Shanghai Conservatory's two halls, the first on 5 September; UNDERTALE's two evenings are gone from the box office
Childs's Dance has been selling for nineteen days and the Vienna Waltz Orchestra for fifty-six, both under a page that said no ticketing had been announced. We had never read this house's box office.

The nearest one first. The Shanghai Dandelion Symphonic Wind Orchestra's second-anniversary concert is on 5 September at 19:30 in the He Luting Concert Hall, and has been on sale since 14 August at ¥260 / 180 / 120 / 80. The first half is Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition arranged for winds — no strings, so the ten movements and the recurring Promenade fall to woodwind, brass and percussion. The second half is a set of film and popular numbers the presenter has not named. This concert was not on the site at all until today.
Three more, all selling
Lucinda Childs and the Ballet de l'Opéra de Lyon, Dance — 14, 15 and 16 October at 19:30, Shanghai Conservatory Opera House. ¥580 / 380 / 280 / 180 / 120, six per order. On sale since 17:00 on 12 August, and all three evenings still have seats.
Vienna Waltz Orchestra, Shanghai New Year Concert — 30 December at 19:30, He Luting Concert Hall. ¥580 / 380 / 280 / 180 / 100, on sale since 17:00 on 6 July. The presenter notes that seats in the ¥100 tier may have a restricted view.
Autumn Strings: a violin and piano recital — 19 September at 19:30, He Luting Concert Hall, on sale since 21 June. The ladder is ¥280 / 180 / 120 / 80 / 60; we had published four of those five and were missing the ¥80.
The first two had been reading "the presenter has not yet announced any ticketing arrangements" — for nineteen days and fifty-six days respectively. The reason is not flattering and not complicated: these two halls run the same ticketing system as the Shanghai Grand Theatre, which we read every day, and we had never read this one. We do now.
UNDERTALE: both evenings gone from the box office
The UNDERTALE Determination Symphony plays four times in Shanghai. As of 31 August the Conservatory box office shows both 19:30 performances, on 2 and 3 October, sold out; both 14:30 matinees still have seats.
Worth saying plainly: the official site, Damai and Bilibili each hold their own allocation, so one channel showing nothing does not mean the house is full. One correction along with it — we had been showing the 13 August sale of the added matinees as the run's on-sale moment; the first wave actually opened at 18:00 on 7 August.
