NEC's Jordan Hall: History


Do I need tickets for all Jordan Hall concerts?

Most New England Conservatory concerts are free, and no tickets are required. Concerts and events which require tickets are so noted in the Concert Calendar. (Jordan Hall events not produced by NEC generally do require tickets.)

The Box Office is located at 30 Gainsborough Street, in the lobby of Jordan Hall.

Hours of Operation:
10 am-6 pm Monday-Friday
12 pm-6 pm Saturday

(The Box Office is also open 1.5 hours before the start of any ticketed Jordan Hall performance for sale of that event only.)

All sales are final.
