Know Before You Go

  • Hours: 18:30.
  • Accessibility: Six wheelchair-accessible seats are available in Sector 1 at the Sector 7 ticket price.

Tips & Advice

  • Mark November 10 on your calendar, because that is when ticket sales open for the 2027 New Year's concerts.
  • Wheelchair users should ask for one of the six accessible seats in sector 1, which come with a seat for a companion.
  • Bring a certificate or ID if you are claiming a reduced ticket, because one is required for every reduction.
  • Groups of 20 or more should pay soon after reserving, because group reservations lapse after 15 days and in any case seven days before the concert.
  • Tickets bought before the day of the concert carry a presale fee, and online, phone and TicketOne sales add a commission on top.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Wheelchair users and companions can access six Sector 1 seats at Sector 7 prices; other guests with severe disabilities and their companions receive reduced rates without presale fees in all sectors.
