TICKET INFORMATION
You may purchase tickets online by credit card (MasterCard, Visa), SOFORT-Überweisung (electronic bank transfer), or gift certificate.
Secure payment by credit card
When using our online shop, you may be asked to authenticate your credit card payment with a personal code (3D Secure Code). For additional information, please contact your card-issuing bank or visit the links below.
Regular Pierre Boulez Saal customers may exchange or return tickets up to three days prior to a concert. Customers purchasing tickets for three or more concerts per season online, at the box office, or on the phone will automatically be registered as regular customers. (Applies to Pierre Boulez Saal events only, not guest performances.)
If you see the message “A limited number of tickets may become available at a later date” on one of our event pages, it is likely that additional tickets that have previously been held will go on sale. The 21st of the month before an event is a good time to check either in our online shop or at the call center. In addition, there is often a good chance that tickets may become available within the last three days before a concert.
Please be aware that for some concerts there may be no late ticket releases.
Visitors with disabilities who are entitled to bring a companion will receive a 50 % discount on the regular price for two tickets. Discounted tickets are non-transferable. Please present photo ID (or disability card) at the door.
To book wheelchair-accessible seating, other seats for visitors with disabilities, or companion seats, please contact us directly. All wheelchair seats are accessible by elevator. If you need assistance during your visit to safely get to and from your seat, our front-of-house staff will be happy to help you—please just let us know in advance.
