Tips & Advice

  • Buy your tickets at the circus box office to avoid the advance booking fee, or order online early because delivery takes three to seven working days.
  • Leave the car at home if you can, since your circus ticket also works on VVS transport on show day from three hours before the start.
  • Plan for about three hours including the interval, and keep your flash off, because flash-free photos are allowed but filming is not.
  • Book a ticket and seat for every child aged three or older, while children under three come free on a lap.
  • Choose dates outside December 25 to 31, and skip afternoon shows from January 2, if you want to avoid the higher prices on those performances.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New this season: a bicycle act from China with 23 performers, seen outside China in a major show run for the first time.
  • The clown Housch-ma-Housch returns to the program.
  • Children, pupils, students and pensioners get a discount on tickets.
