Ticket prices
Dance in the elegant ballroom, stroll through the opera house, visit the various bars, enjoy the diverse music program - all this is included in the price of the ticket, as well as the ball donations at the end of the ball night. In addition, the ticket price includes a solidarity contribution in the amount of 35€ for Österreich hilft Österreich, an initiative for people in need in our country (see below for more information).
Please note that the ticket does not include a seat or a fixed standing place in the hall during the opening.
To give you the perfect ball experience, we recommend reserving a table seat in addition to your ticket. This way you have a guaranteed seat throughout the entire ball night, can order food and drinks directly to your table and do not have to queue at the buffet. Live music will be played in many rooms after the opening.
The number of seats at a table varies per room. In most cases, a table seats 4 or 6 people. You can purchase individual seats or an entire table.
Please note that all tables are outside the ballroom.
All table shares can only be booked in conjunction with regular tickets.
