Tips & Advice

  • Buy only from the official online shop, ReserviX or local presale outlets, because tickets resold on platforms like Viagogo are invalid and refused at the entrance.
  • Arrive early: the main entrance opens 90 minutes before each show and the circus tent 65 minutes before, which leaves time for the gastronomy tent.
  • If you'd like to meet René Casselly and Rebecca Siemoneit-Barum, pick an evening performance and add the VIP upgrade, which includes the pre-show meet-and-greet.
  • Book wheelchair spaces through ReserviX or the ticket hotline, since they are on a step-free platform in the front-box area with room for one companion.
  • Groups of 20 or more paying guests get tiered group rates, so bigger groups pay less; you can reserve without obligation by emailing the circus marketing team.

Special Events & Promotions

  • VIP upgrade: an exclusive meet-and-greet with René Casselly and Rebecca Siemoneit-Barum before every evening performance.

  • New this year: a larger gastronomy tent with more Christmas offerings and an exclusive VIP area.
  • Fabian Egli, the circus's original presenter, returns to host after a long break.
