Q. Which email from the New York Philharmonic contains my Print at Home tickets?

When you select Print at Home as your delivery method during purchase, you'll get two e-mails. The first is your order confirmation e-mail. This e-mail only confirms your order and may not be used for entry into the event. Shortly after, you'll get another e-mail containing your Print at Home ticket(s) as a PDF attachment. You must open the attachment and print out the ticket(s) for entry into the event.

Q. What if I print more than one copy of my ticket or a photocopy is made?

Only the first scan of the barcode on your ticket will be allowed entry.

Make sure you keep the printed ticket in a safe place like you would cash, and protect it just like you would any other ticket! If more than one copy were to arrive, the barcode scanner will alert the attendant that the ticket has already been scanned. If there is a dispute, the purchaser's name and the last four-digits of the credit card used to make the purchase is on each ticket. Only 1 person will be admitted per barcode.
