If you are booking close to the date of the event, you may not be able to have your tickets posted to you. 

You can collect Mystery Seat tickets from the box office half an hour before the start of the performance. Find out more about Mystery Seats here. 

We're keen to do anything we can to help fix any problems with your booking. 

In the first instance, we recommend that you contact the box office at 0121 289 6333 or at boxoffice@bmusic.co.uk. If the box office are unable to assist with your  enquiry, you can contact the CBSO at 0121 616 6500 or info@cbso.co.uk.

If you live in Cheltenham or Lichfield, you may be able to travel by coach to certain concerts. These performances will be marked in our brochure and our website. You will not be posted a physical ticket for coach travel, but your name will be added to the list of approved passengers. When you purchase tickets for a relevant concert online, you will be given the option to add coach tickets to your basket. If you're booking in person or over the phone, simply request a coach ticket.

Alternatively, you may be able to travel on a community-run coach in your area. 

Symphony Hall is located 8 Centenary Square, Birmingham, B1 2EA.

The CBSO Centre is located at Berkley Street, Birmingham, B1 2LF.

We recommend that you arrive around 15 minutes prior to the start of your performance. This will give you time to collect any tickets, find your seats and pick up a programme before the start of your concert. 

There is currently very limited parking in central Birmingham, and so where possible we advise that you travel by public transport. 

You can access a map of available parking within Birmingham here. 

For the most up-to-date information on Covid restrictions, please visit the B:Music website. 

There is no dress code for our performances. You may choose to dress in smart casual if you are celebrating a special occasion or enjoy dressing up, but you will feel equally comfortable in casual clothing. 

Drinks purchased from the Symphony Hall bar can be taken into the hall. Please do not bring food into the hall, as it may negatively impact other audience members' experience. 

You are welcome to take photographs of our performance whenever the orchestra are not playing such as during applause breaks. We ask that you avoid taking photographs whist the musicians are performing, as it may be distracting. Please do not record video or audio of the orchestra performing. 

We warmly invite you to clap and show your appreciation for the orchestra at the end of each piece. Some of our pieces are separated into movements. Between each movement there may be a short pause, during which some audience members choose not to applaud, in order to facilitate a smooth transition between movements. If you are anxious about when to applaud, we recommend that you follow the lead of those around you, or that you simply applaud when you wish to show your appreciation. 

You can download a free PDF programme with information about the music at your performance from our website. You can also look at our website for information on the duration of each piece, which will be shown to the right of the name of the work and its composer. 

If you have any further questions about our performers or the music being performed, please do feel free to get in touch at marketing@cbso.co.uk.
