5-Audience and

tickets.

The concert is popular

throughout Europe, and

more recently around the

world. The demand for

tickets is so high that

people have to preregister

one year in advance in

order to participate in the

drawing of tickets for the

following year. Indeed,

many seats are reserved by

some Austrian families and

passed down from

generation to generation.

The Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert 2010 was

conducted for the second time by the French conductor

Georges Prêtre. Due to the television and radio broadcasts in

more than 70 countries, the New Year's Concert is in terms of its

international coverage the largest classical music event in the

world.
