\nFor those not familiar with the Seattle Symphony ticket package line-ups:\nMost of the ticket packages are named Masterworks nX<\/i> where\nn<\/i> is\nthe number is the number of concerts in the package, and the letter\nindicates which variation.\nTicket packages have been combined if they are\nidentical save for the day of the week.\nFor example, 7C and 7D are the same concerts;\nthe only difference is that 7C is for Thursday nights, while 7D is\nfor Saturday nights.\nThe Beyond the Score<\/i> concerts focus on only one of the pieces.\nThe WolfGang<\/i> series is available only to members of the\n\nWolfGang club<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis chart doesn’t include “one-off” concert series such\nas the Mainly Mozart or Distinguished Artists series.\nA “one-off” series is a concert series which shares no concerts\nwith any other series.\n<\/p>\n
