Possibly stupid question: For events that say free tickets are available at the box office, the Juilliard website says (for example) “free tickets available 9/24.”
Does that mean only available 9/24 or starting 9/24?
Tickets are available starting on the date listed. Thanks for asking–hope this helps!
Many thanks!
