Tips & Advice
- Buy only from the official presale outlets, the hotline or the circus box office, because reseller ViaGoGo has listed shows as sold out when they were not.
- Double-check the date and showtime before you pay, because tickets bought for the Weihnachtscircus generally cannot be cancelled or exchanged afterwards.
- Dress so you are comfortable keeping your coat with you during the show, since the circus tent has no cloakroom.
- Arrive early to eat and drink in the foyer tent, which opens an hour before each performance and serves food, drinks and popcorn.
- Bring valid ID for everyone on a reduced ticket, such as children, students, seniors or visitors with a disability, because it is checked at entry.
