Tips & Advice

  • Book online before you go, because tickets are sold only online and there is no box office on the circus grounds.
  • Arrive early, because every seat is unnumbered and the first people in pick the best spots, especially if your group wants to sit together.
  • Come up to an hour early for a drink or snack in the front tent before the main tent opens, half an hour before the show.
  • Allow about two and a half hours for the show itself, plus time beforehand in the front tent.
  • If a wheelchair user sits in the loge while the rest of your group has tribune tickets, come early to get tribune seats close by.

Special Events & Promotions

  • A completely new international show this season.
  • A new circus tent this year, built for clear sightlines.
  • Monte Carlo Bronze Clown winners Troupe Suba perform in Dordrecht for the first time.
  • Children under two get in free when they sit on a parent's or companion's lap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the seats numbered?

No, all seats are unnumbered. The loge seats are the first rows around the ring and have the best view. The tribune has comfortable bucket seats.

Can our group sit with friends who booked separately?

Yes, as long as you all have the same ticket type, either tribune or loge. Arrive in good time so you can go in together and choose your seats.

Is there food and drink?

Yes. The front tent opens an hour before the show for drinks and snacks. The main tent opens half an hour before.

Is the circus wheelchair friendly?

Yes. Everything is step-free and there are wheelchair toilets. Each show has room for 20 to 25 wheelchair users, seated in the loge. Companions book a separate loge or tribune ticket.

Can I take photos or videos?

Yes, but without flash, because it bothers the performers. Phone videos are fine. Professional equipment needs a request in advance.
