Tickets

It's your choice!

In 2025, you once again have the possibility to choose a ticket price matching your budget

The arts cost money. At the same time, it is of great importance to us that every person can visit our concerts. Nobody should be limited be their budget. Especially as we are in need of the arts as places where people can dream, discuss, criticize and question. Maybe now more than ever. And these places should be accessible for everyone. 

Therefore, we continue to offer a 'pay what you can' ticket system. At the same time, we invite everyone who afford it to choose one of the higher prices. Give more – build bridges!

The specific price options for each concert can be found in the detailed concert informations. A few concerts are excluded from the system – but offer different seat categories with different price levels.

Children and students pay € 10 for all concerts with a free price choice.
