Tips & Advice

  • Book online to choose a fixed seat number in the row you want, using the seating plan with row and seat numbers in the ticket shop.
  • Doors usually open an hour before the show starts, so leave enough time to get there, get in and find your seat.
  • Bring proof of eligibility if you booked a reduced ticket, such as a student or disability ID, because it is checked at entry.
  • Take the U2 or U4 to Horner Rennbahn, or bus 160 or 261, which stops right in front, where the big tents are already in sight.
  • If you plan to buy at the box office, check availability by email or phone first, because day tickets are only sold if seats remain.
