For Dudamel Hopefuls, Standing In Line Was A Bad Call
More than 10,000 tickets to Gustavo Dudamel's Hollywood Bowl debut as Los Angeles Philharmonic music director went on sale to the general public on Saturday. They were snapped up "at a pace more common for concerts by pop stars, not classical musicians," and in the process, "about 550 of the estimated 800 patrons who showed up at the Bowl, some of whom arrived early in the morning and waited for hours in the heat, went home empty-handed."
