Okay, I have found a concert at ampconcerts.com that fits in with our scheduled trip to Paris. My question is this: why are there three different prices? (23, 20, and 15 Euros) These are not the student and unemployed prices; those are 15 and 12 Euros.

It says that seating is first come, first serve but are there different seating sections? Also, do you think it is necessary to reserve seats in advance or just show up that evening? There is, however, no reason not to reserve since you pay upon arrival.

If the concert is in a church (most if not all are) the seating at the front of the church will be the highest price and the 15E will be further back. We attended a concert at Madeleine Church and the choices were 30E or 20E and we opted for the lower price seats. The seats were fine and accoustics great in the church so you will not have a bad seat. We just showed up at the last minute and bought tickets. A word of warning: there were no restrooms.

Nini...Thank you for the info. I did not think seating would matter much since it is a church. We have attended concerts in churches in Italy and the acoustics are always great. Also, thank you for the advice on the restrooms....always good to know espescially since I will be traveling with my mother.

The link ampconcets.com isn't working. Are you quite sure this is the correct site?

mk....The correct site is http://www.ampconcerts.com

You are missing a letter.

Probably the most beautiful restrooms on the planet are just to the right of Le Madeleine.

Where, exactly, can these lovely toilets be found and what makes them so special?

Thanks djk. My mother will be happy to know that.

Outside Le Madeleine, look on the right side for a staircase. There's a sign.
