More tickets for the Getty villa this weekend have just become available online! These are free tickets (although parking is $7). I already have my ticket for April 1st, which I booked in January, so anyone who would like to go sooner should head on overto the site NOW to pick up their tickets.
Unfortunately, I can’t even go to the Villa this weekend because I have to spend Saturday morning at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market. I’m making my legendary gumbo for a friend’s Mardi Gras blowout on Saturday, and that will require fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables and a Costco-size bottle of Tabasco are key. And by the time I’m done with the gumbo preparation, it’ll be time for my French class at Alliance Francais.
Sunday, I was actually planning to go to the “new” (now the old?) Getty anyways to see A Sense Of Place: Photographs of the American West, but a friend and I decided to use her SoCal 2fer at California Adventure instead. Which also means that I’m missing DepecheModeCon. This is what drives me crazy about Los Angeles – there’s always so much to do, especially with all the great art & museums, music and events, that when I take a day to go to a year-round attraction, I miss other thing I wanted to do. But hey, if anyone wants to go see that exhibit – there’s still space, and you can have my spot if you want it. And if you move fast, you can see BOTH Gettys in one day!
Jillian you ROCK! Just scored two tix…thanks for posting!
I went on the site to reserve my tickets for Sunday. I found a perfect time, 3:00 PM. I contemplated on whether I should reserve 2 tickets or 3 and then I compounded this mistake by calling a friend to make sure she could go (wasting at least 3-4 minutes). As I talked to her, I filled out the necessary information on site. The excitement was growing and suddenly I was taken to a page with red font stating that the tickets were no longer available. I looked for other times but they were all sold out. Now, I have to wait until the August schedule is released!
I find irony in that the post that got Fresh the tickets, is probably responsible for same tickets being sold out before Shira could get hers.
HOWEVER – more tickets will be released between now & August! Take heart! Just sign up for the Getty e-newsletter and you too can find out about these things early enough to score the tickets.
How did I not know this was happening? I’ve been waiting for 10 years to re-visit the Getty Villa!
I am so there.
Just so Jillian, Shira and everyone else don’t think I reserved *all* the tickets, I only requested two tickets for Friday afternoon! (I didn’t want to be greedy.) At the time I reserved, there were still many time slots available, but the tickets obviously went fast. Anyhow hope your gumbo is great…share your secret recipe, please.
