Last Night of Proms

The Proms also known as The BBC Proms, or The Henry Wood Promenade Concerts presented by the BBC, is an eight-week summer season of daily orchestral classical music concerts and other events held annually in the Royal Albert Hall in London. in the Albert Hall, a series of chamber concerts at Cadogan Hall, additional Proms in the Park events across the United Kingdom on the last night, and associated educational and children's events. In 2009 for the first time the total number of concerts reached 100. In the context of classical music festivals, Jiri Belohlavek has described the Proms as "the world's largest and most democratic musical festival". Most people's perception of the Proms is taken from the Last Night, although this concert is very different from the others. Last Night of the Proms is usually organised on the second Saturday in September, and is broadcast in the UK on BBC2 (first half) and BBC1 (second half).



Prom is short for promenade concert, a term which originally referred to outdoor concerts in London's pleasure gardens, where the audience was free to walk around while the orchestra was playing. Single-concert Promming tickets can be bought, with few exceptions, only on the day of the concert, which can give rise to long queues for well-known artists or works. Proms concert-goers, particularly those who stand, are sometimes described as "Promenaders", but are most commonly referred to as "Prommers". Prommers can buy full- or half-season tickets instead for guaranteed entry (until 20 minutes before the concert is due to start), although not the assurance of a particular standing position. A number of Prommers are particularly keen in their attendance.

Last Night of the Proms will return for 2012 at London's Royal Albert Hall on 8 September 2012. Last Night of The Proms Tickets for Last Night of The Proms 2012 are available at Ticket Royale for affordable price.
