The general presale will start one week after. These dates also apply to the advance sale of standing-room tickets. On the first day of advance sales of individual tickets for members, the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde reserves the right to limit the purchase limit for each member up to a maximum of four tickets.
Ticket orders in any form are binding. The ticket price will be debited via your chosen means of payment.

The money resulting from ticket sales can be collected until the end of the respective season at the concert box-office from Mon-Fri 09:00 – 18:00 and Sat 09:00 – 13:00 upon presentation of the commission slip.
