How to Get Tickets to Summer for the City
There are three ways to get tickets to Summer for the City at Lincoln Center, depending on the venue and the programming. Please refer to the dedicated event page of the show you’d like to attend to confirm ticketing options.
Free General Admission
For free events, over half the venue capacity is aways available for General Admission. Just show up; no tickets needed! Entry to most Summer for the City performances and events is available for FREE via General Admission—first-come, first-served. Learn more »
Free Fast Track
In addition to General Admission, we’re offering a FREE Fast Track option for the majority of Summer for the City events held at Hearst Plaza, The Dance Floor, the David Rubenstein Atrium, and other select venues. Fast Track reservations are available every Monday at noon for that week's events!
• By booking Fast Track for events ahead of time, guests can access the Fast Track line at the venue which gives them priority entry to that event.
• While event admission is not guaranteed, Fast Track ticket holders will have priority over the General Admission line up until 10 minutes before show time (please note: show time for social dances on The Dance Floor is the start of the dance lesson). We recommend arriving an hour before show time to ensure entry into the event.
• Please check the event's dedicated web page to confirm if Fast Track is available for the performance you'd like to attend.
• Lincoln Center Members get automatic access to every Fast Track line, no reservation required!

The Bay Area-based Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra is one of America’s premier ensembles dedicated to historically informed performance of Baroque, Classical, and newer music. Among the most recorded orchestras in the world, Philharmonia boasts a discography of nearly 50 recordings, including a GRAMMY-nominated recording of Haydn symphonies. Philharmonia is committed to bringing the music of the past to life with energy and relevance for today’s audiences. Under the baton of newly appointed Music Director Peter Whelan, vocalists Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen (countertenor), Lauren Snouffer (soprano), and Dashon Burton (bass-baritone) join a 25-member selection of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra for a thrilling exploration of works by George Frideric Handel, with particular attention to the first Suite from Water Music, interspersed with three contemporary pieces from the Pulitzer and GRAMMY Award-winning composer Caroline Shaw. This cleverly curated program will offer an evening of Baroque tradition in direct dialogue with one of the modern era's most influential voices.
