Ticketinformation

We ask that you place your ticket orders online, by e-mail, fax, or by post between 14 November 2018 and 8 January 2019 .Please note that tickets are not allotted on a 'first come, first served' basis until this deadline. No preference is given to orders placed first. Instead, we try to give all those interested in culture the time to peruse the program at their leisure both online and in print, to give you the opportunity to learn more at one of the many programme presentations, and to confer with family and friends. Thus, the speed of your order does not matter for the chance of obtaining a ticket--whether you place your order arrives on the first day or on the last day of the deadline, you have an equal shot at obtaining a ticket. During this time, you can select your preferred performances, and gives you a chance to change and alter your desired tickets. After the deadline, all orders are binding. However, this does not guarantee a fixed card allocation. From the middle of January until the end of March at the latest, you will be notified of the extent to which your order could be processed as requested.

The allocation of the tickets will start immediately after the deadline up to and including the end of March. Up to a thousand orders a day are processed by the team of the ticket office, booked, and billed. Orders by members of the Friends of the Salzburg Festival (including club members, patrons and sponsors), which support us financially,  thus helping to enable much of our programme in the first place, are processed first. When processing requests, we also take into consideration how long the customer has already been coming to the festival. We value the patronage of our customers.  We cannot make every order wish come true. For almost every performance, date or category, the demand far exceeds the  supply of tickets. The chance of a successful ticket allocation increases depending how flexible you are in terms of the performance, date and price category.

You will receive a written notification by the end of March at the latest:

• a positive allocation in the form of an invoice
• if no allocation was possible, you will receive a message by e-mail / letter no later than the end of March.

Ticket availability is subject to a dynamic process and can therefore change constantly. For sold-out performances, we offer our customers the opportunity to return their already purchased tickets to the ticket office for a commissioned resale. These commission tickets are immediately up for sale. Please inform yourself about our current ticket offers.

Please consult the online programme and set the filter to 'available tickets' and set the price range filter according to your suitable price range. The performances corresponding to the filter criteria are then displayed. In addition, a list of all currently available tickets is available for download.

Especially for heavily sought-after or sold-out performances, there are numerous providers on the Internet, in particular, who advertise tickets for the Salzburg Festival at greatly inflated prices. However, there are also often ticket sellers in front of the entrances of the venues. For you as a guest, it is very difficult to tell if this is a private individual who wants to sell you their ticket or an unauthorized commercial seller. All these providers sell these tickets without the consent of the Salzburg Festival. The Salzburg Festival therefore reserves the right to deny entry  to persons with tickets who violate these terms and to void existing. We therefore recommend that you only book directly from authorized providers, at the ticket office, or in the Salzburg Festival Shop directly • Tickets can be purchased through our website, the ticket office, or at the box office of the respective performances. If you have received a questionable offer for tickets, please feel free to contact us directly. We can check the authenticity of the vendor for you.
