Lots of times students can volunteer with the Symphony (being an usher is a common position). You do a little work helping people find their seats, get a sort of back-stage look at a symphony orchestra, and attend the concerts for free. Works out well, if you're interested and broke.

There are often cheap last-minute "rush" tickets available too. Or tickets to final rehearsal the afternoon before each concert. Symphonies are VERY creative about reaching out beyond their standard (aging) demographic.
