Although New York City is beaming with incredible shows, catching one can often be incredibly expensive due to sky high ticket prices.

If you are a fan of classical music, but the exorbitant prices of a show have steered you away from watching a concert, then you are in luck!

The New York Philharmonic is giving away free tickets again for the 2019-2020 season -- inviting young people to hear the world-renown orchestra for free.

The Philharmonic Free Fridays program is available to select Friday concerts for those ages 13 to 26.

A list of concerts will be announced in early September, according to the New York Philharmonic. However, the portal to reserve a ticket will be open on the Monday before each free Friday concert.

Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis. Only one ticket is allowed per person. Online sign-up will close once all available tickets have been reserved.

Reserved tickets will be available for pick-up on the day of the concert at the Box Office in David Geffen Hall up until 45 minutes before the concert begins.
