Scarlet sails June. Concert “Scarlet Sails. On the palace square
This year, the concert on Palace Square, which will begin at 22:00, will be attended by Surganova and the Orchestra, Artic & Asti, Marseille, Max Barskikh, Alexander Panayotov and the Silver group. The headliner of Scarlet Sails in 2017 will be the Mumiy Troll group. But not everyone will be able to listen to their favorite artists, because the entrance to the concert is carried out strictly by invitation cards, which are distributed to graduates in schools. According to the organizers, invitations are issued on the eve of the holiday - from June 20 to 22, in order to avoid speculation. But without them it still can not do.
For example, on VKontakte there are about a dozen groups where you can buy or sell invitations to Scarlet Sails. In one of them, tickets for a concert for graduates cost a thousand rubles. After writing a message to the community administrator, we get the answer that there are no invitations yet, but as soon as they appear, they will be sold to everyone who leaves their wish in advance.
In the group "Scarlet Sails 2017 TICKETS BUY / SELL", which, as follows from its description, was created in order for "everyone who wanted to get in - got in, and who didn't want to get money", leave a comment about what we want to a concert, and after a couple of days we receive a message from a certain employee of the St. Petersburg education sector. She also warned that tickets would be on June 21-22, but she was ready to sell them for 700 rubles.
The administrators of the Scarlet Sails 2017/Tickets/Purchase/Sale group, anticipating the turmoil around invitations a day or two before the holiday, decided to pre-order tickets. Booking a ticket for a concert on Dvortsovaya costs 350 rubles, the second part of the amount will need to be paid upon receipt.
“You can also agree with us in advance to sell us tickets, ask all questions in private messages (What's app, Viber, Vkontakte, Instagramm),” the intermediaries add. For one invitation, they offer graduates 500 rubles, and they sell it already for 700, but with free delivery to the metro or pickup not far from Krasnoye Selo.
By the way, in this group there is a poll “Are you going to buy or sell tickets for Scarlet Sails-2017?”. More than 100 people answered that they would sell invitations, more than 90 said they would buy them for the first time, and almost 30 said they would buy this year and bought them in the past.
There are also announcements on the sale of tickets for Scarlet Sails 2017 on VKontakte at very affordable prices, but, as our experience has shown, there is a high probability of running into scammers. With one of them we got such a correspondence.
Note that after an uncomfortable question, the Public Control correspondent was banned. And then the “non-graduate” page itself was blocked.
But on Avito, tickets for Scarlet Sails 2017 are not cheap at all: 2,000, 3,000, 3,500, 4,000 and even 5,000 rubles for an invitation for two people.
“The invitation is valid for two people, I guarantee authenticity (at the meeting I will provide a certificate from the school and a passport), you can book in advance, after issuing a ticket, I will hand it over to you,” writes one of the sellers.
If you really want to go to the concert on June 23, of course, you can take a chance. And you can consider other options for spending time.
When there are other options to be on holiday
The invitations mentioned above make it possible to go to the Palace Square, but you can become a participant in the holiday for graduates without entering the main square of the Northern capital. The light and pyrotechnic show in the Neva water area, which will begin at 00:40 to the sounds of a symphony orchestra, can be seen by everyone without special invitations.
It is most convenient to watch the water performance from the spit of Vasilyevsky Island and the nearest embankments, but it is better to take seats "in the auditorium" in advance.

According to the experience of past years, it is most convenient to watch a water performance from the arrow of Vasilyevsky Island and the nearest embankments, but it is better to take seats "in the auditorium" in advance. Just remember that the entrances to the venues of the "Scarlet Sails", that is, to the Palace Square and the spit of Vasilyevsky Island, are traditionally blocked. All restrictions on the movement of vehicles in connection with the celebration of graduates on June 23 can be found on the website of the Committee for the Development of Transport Infrastructure of St. Petersburg. We recommend using the metro, which will operate without interruption on the night of June 23-24.
You can watch the "Scarlet Sails" on June 23 from the ship - there are a lot of offers on the Internet. For example, a two-deck motor ship of the Neva type departs from the Senate Pier at 23:45 to stop between the Blagoveshchensky and Palace bridges at the climax of the celebration. The ship arrives at 1 hour 15 minutes. It offers live music and a bar. This pleasure costs 3,000 rubles. But among tourists, boat trips during the "Scarlet Sails" are very popular, so you should book your seats on pleasure boats in advance.

There is an option during the "Scarlet Sails" to be on the roof of the house on the embankment.
“We promise to spend an unforgettable night in the open air and enjoy the full scale of the holiday from a height, bypassing crowds of people,” the Carlson Tour website says. “Our experienced guides will organize for you a fascinating route and the best viewpoints of the holiday.”
This option costs from 2,000 rubles. Can be found cheaper. For example, in the “Scarlet Sails from the Roof 2017” group on VKontakte, prices start at 800 rubles per person, but with the most budget option, you can only see fireworks, and the Neva water area and a brig with scarlet sails from the roof in the city center will not be visible.
Those who do not count money can go to a restaurant with panoramic windows overlooking the waters of the Neva in the area of the Birzhevoy, Palace and Trinity bridges and the spit of Vasilyevsky Island. For example, in the Scarlet Sails restaurant on Kronverkskaya Embankment, the cheapest table will cost 6,500 per person, but the price includes banquet menu and drinks.
A gastronomic set and a view of the "Scarlet Sails" in the panoramic restaurant "Bering" in the hotel "St. Petersburg" on Pirogovskaya embankment will cost 2,500 rubles per person.

Every year, at the height of the white nights, schoolchildren of St. Petersburg say goodbye to school and take the first step into adulthood. And nowhere else in the world is it celebrated on such a grand scale. This year, on the night of June 23-24, the bridges and embankments of the Northern capital will once again become theatrical part for thousands of people who came to the amazing show Scarlet Sails 2017 in St. Petersburg, where the fabulous ship with Scarlet Sails will play the main role.
ON THE PALACE SQUARE
The festive marathon starts at Palace Square at ten o'clock in the evening, but guests will be allowed in from eight. So the former schoolchildren have two hours to take their places near the stage. This task is not easy, because this year the invitations to the main prom countries received more than thirty thousand St. Petersburg schoolchildren. In addition, they will be joined by the best students from other regions and foreign countries, for whom a ticket to the "Scarlet Sails" has become a reward for excellent studies.
As expected, the holiday will begin with a blow to the sea bell and parting words from the first persons of the city. They will launch the Scarlet Sails-2017 in St. Petersburg. By tradition, the concert program was compiled at the request of the high school students themselves. The heroes of the occasion decided for a long time which of the musicians to entrust their prom. As a result, among the participants of the grandiose show on Palace Square there are only popular performers: Artik & Asti, Serebro, Surganova and the orchestra, Marseille, Max Barskikh and Alexander Panayotov. For ex-schoolchildren, the artists have prepared a special program of the event, which will include only the hottest hits.
The highlight of the program will be the performance of the Mumiy Troll group, led by the permanent leader Ilya Lagutenko. It's funny, but the team itself is twice as old as the current graduates. "Songs of my youth" - this is how some of them speak about the repertoire of musicians. Therefore, it is symbolic that new life the guys will cheerfully step to the tunes of Vladivostok 2000 and Run Away known since early childhood.
TV presenters Ivan Urgant and Channel 5 presenter Dasha Alexandrova will rule the ball this evening. Like last year, musical numbers will become part of a large theatrical performance. The organizers keep the scenario of the celebration a secret, and do not reveal any surprises. It is only known that the holiday will be devoted to fantasies about the future, and a special place in the program will be given to the performance of aerial acrobats.
On a huge stage with many moving and static screens, mysterious futuristic pictures will unfold. Spectators are waiting for multi-level costumed performances, a theater of aerial gymnasts and colorful episodes dedicated to art, space and the beauty of nature. They will alternate with musical numbers, - the organizers opened the cards.
A grandiose stage will be built on Palace Square with huge amount static and moving screens, and a special cable car for air theatre. Thanks to the light and technical tricks, the performance promises to be multi-layered and much more voluminous in order to give a futuristic picture of this world. Several colorful episodes, made in the genre of costume performance, will tell about art, space, poetry and the nature of the future, which is impossible without a careful attitude to the present.
Another concert venue will be located on the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island. Unlike the show on Dvortsovaya, where this evening you can get only by invitation cards, everyone is invited there. The performance will start at 22.20.
IN THE WATER AREA OF THE NEVA
No matter how incendiary the dances and songs on the Palace Square are, the main part of the holiday is the passage of the frigate with Scarlet sails along the Neva and the pyrotechnic show. At 00.40, millions of multi-colored lights will soar into the sky to the sounds of a symphony orchestra, the water surface will plunge into a milky haze, and the Trinity Bridge will become the main character of the multimedia performance. And thousands of people will wait with bated breath for a brigantine with scarlet sails.
The show will start with a unique performance on the Spit of Vasilievsky Island, and then move to the Trinity Bridge and last a little less than half an hour, Smolny reported. - The pyrotechnic show will be accompanied by musical compositions specially selected for the theme of this year's event, related to the "embodiment of the future." The theme of the 100th anniversary of the revolution will not be left without attention, which will be reflected in the events of the cultural breakthrough.
The show will be accompanied by a musical suite that combines different genres and styles in the most unexpected performance. The use of exotic and ethnic instruments (luminous electric violin, tablu, jambey) will create an atmosphere of a mysterious future. The musical themes of Dunayevsky, Gliere and Solovyov-Sedov, traditional for Scarlet Sails, will also be revealed in a completely new way.
Compositions "Evening Song", "This Big world” and the unspoken anthem of the students of Leningrad University “Brigantine” will be performed by opera singers Vladimir Tselebrovsky and Methodie Bujor, the duet of Svetlana Surganova and the soloist of the Tequilajazzz group Evgeny Fedorov.
According to the experience of past years, it is most convenient to watch the performance in the Neva water area from the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island. But it is better to take places there in advance. Much in advance. The queue builds up a few hours before the start of the show. Another option is the embankments of the Neva. A favorite place for Petersburgers is the park area between the Troitsky Bridge and the Peter and Paul Fortress and the embankment near the Liteiny Bridge.
