Help with purchasing opera tickets online?

Question

Hi,

I will be going to Paris from November 19-26 (last minute) and I would like to get tickets to the Opera (both Tosca and Alcina).

I've found a few sites on the web but with only one exception, the prices are around 400 euro per ticket which is a bit much for me.

The only site that has reasonable prices is Divento. Has anyone used this site ? Or does anyone have any suggestions on where I can buy tickets at or near face value.

Thanks

Book directly through the Opera's website. Alcina is at 110/160 €. Haven't checked La Tosca. Go to this page:

Then click on "les spectacles en vente" (written in blue) and when the next window opens, you can display the page in English
