Tips & Advice
- Book online through Ticketmaster, because December 12, 13 and 16 are already sold out and some shows have few or no seats left at the last minute.
- Pick a Family Day show on December 17 or 18, or the morning shows on December 24 and 31, for lower tribune prices.
- Arrive early to eat or drink in the reception tent and bar, which open an hour before the show, because you can't bring your own food.
- Plan to leave the buggy in the foyer tent, because fire rules don't allow strollers inside the performance tent.
- Article 27 ticket holders should choose a morning or late-afternoon show, because those tickets aren't accepted at the early-afternoon performances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there animals in the show?
No. The show has been 100% human, with no animals, for several years.
Can I bring a stroller?
Strollers are allowed in the foyer tent, but fire regulations keep them out of the performance tent. Leave yours at the marked spot in the foyer, with no valuables inside.
Can we bring our own snacks?
No, outside food and drink aren't allowed. The reception tent and bar open an hour before each show, and you can pay by card, including Bancontact.
How do wheelchair users book?
Book your seats on Ticketmaster and email the circus at least three days ahead. In the tribune, staff will seat you on or next to the front row. In the loges, they can remove a chair to make room for the wheelchair.
Do toddlers need a ticket?
Children under 2 get in free but must sit on an adult's lap for safety. Children aged 2 to 9 pay the reduced rate.
