Anyone else enjoy these? They start tonight with Mahler 8

For anyone new to them, they're a whole summer of classical music concerts (mostly) at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Tickets are amazingly cheap for the quality on offer, and even cheaper if you just queue up for a £5 standing ticket before the prom starts.
Even if you're not into your classical music there can still be some fun Proms to go to - the Doctor Who Prom is more of a show/tie-in than a concert for example. This year they're running it twice on Sat 24 and Sun 25th July. Last night of the Proms is Famously bonkers as well, but obviously it's quite a bit of luck to get a ticket (but still worth a go if you can get to London - and still only £5 if you get a ticket by queuing).
Of course, you can watch/listen to them all at the BBC, but at these prices I really recommend getting there in person if you can - proper music does not transmit well regardless of the medium.
