OPERA FOR ALL: FREE TICKETS FOR ELIGIBLE NEW YORKERS, NYC

Every New Yorker should have the opportunity to experience the Metropolitan Opera, regardless of income or background. In an exciting new partnership with the NYC Mayor’s Office, the Met will distribute 70,000 of its tickets each season to eligible New Yorkers—free of charge—via a lottery on the Met Opera app, as well as through various distribution methods with organizations across the city. To qualify for the free-ticket lottery, you must be a resident of New York City with a valid ID, have not purchased a ticket to the Met since 2019, and have the Met Opera app downloaded on your device.
