CONCERTS ARE RESTARTING

Concerts are restarting in the Elbphilharmonie and the Laeiszhalle under special conditions from 1 September.

Yearbook Elbphilharmonie & Laeiszhalle 2020/21
Yearbook Elbphilharmonie & Laeiszhalle 2020/21

CHANGES TO PROGRAMMES AND LINE-UPS

Only around one-third of the seats in the concert halls of the two buildings can be occupied. As a result, many concerts are going ahead with new programmes and line-ups. A number of concerts will be performed twice. Programme details and new events for September will be announced over the course of July.

TICKETS ON SALE 4 AUGUST

Tickets for HamburgMusik and NDR events, with new programmes, as well as tickets for events by many other promoters go on general sale on 4 August. Subscribers and customers who have participated in the current ticket ordering process for the new season will be notified first.

HYGIENE RULES

As a general rule, you must keep a distance of 1.5 meters away from others in the buildings, and you must wear a nose-and-mouth mask when walking around. Masks are not compulsory once you are in your seat in the hall or foyers.

Concert tickets

Tickets for the season can be booked now. It is only necessary to pay when it is certain that the respective concert is going ahead – 6 weeks before the concert at the latest.

All concerts in the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle up until 31 August have been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The same applies now to cancelled events as ever: most promoters are issuing refunds for tickets.

Book now, pay later

  • How it all works

    • Up to 4 tickets can be booked per concert. There is no limit on the number of events during the 2020/21 season you can book tickets for.
    • When you book tickets, you state your desired price category. Specific seats will be allocated, best seats first, in the order in which booking requests are received, and six weeks before the date of the concert at the latest.
    • Only then will customers receive an email with information about their exact seats and a link to pay for their tickets.

  • Ways of ordering

    • You can order online via the ticket link on the relevant event page in the programme overview.
    • We are also happy to take bookings by phone from customers who are not able to book online.
    • The Elbphilharmonie’s ticket offices will remain closed until 31 July. It is not possible to book tickets there or at any of the other booking offices in Hamburg at the moment. We cannot accept ticket orders by email.

  • Changing or cancelling orders

    • No changes can be made to an order once it has been placed. However, it is possible to select concessions and redeem vouchers before you pay for the order.
    • It is possible to cancel an order via the customer account (in the Elbphilharmonie’s online ticket shop) as long as the seat allocation process hasn’t begun. In addition, orders are automatically cancelled if tickets are not paid for by the stated deadlin

  • Event cancellation or change

    Should it be impossible for an event to go ahead as planned, everyone who has ordered tickets will be informed of any alternative arrangements six weeks before the event date at the latest. Concertgoers will also be informed of any special conditions that may be in force at this time due to the coronavirus pandemic.

  • Remaining tickets

    Once orders have been allocated, any remaining tickets will be put on general sale and customers can then choose specific seats when they book.

Subscriptions

In the 2020/21 season, more than 50 different subscription series by various promoters are available, and these allow you to save at least 20% on the price of individual tickets.

Black Market

Konzertkasse Elbphilharmonie

Black Market

Some internet platforms are advertising tickets for sold-out events at the Elbphilharmonie. In fact, these are private sellers, who partly offer tickets from dubious sources and for highly inflated prices.

We recommend that you purchase tickets only from official ticket shops, online at www.elbphilharmonie.com, or on official online platforms of external promoters to which you will be forwarded to from our website, www.elbphilharmonie.com.

Personalised Tickets

Personalised tickets have become necessary in order to take severe measures on illegal ticket sales and to protect concertgoers from overpriced tickets.

Only the event organiser’s contractual partner (i.e. the buyer of the ticket) is entitled to attend the event. This means that you – as the buyer of the ticket – should enter your name in the designated field on your ticket. Tickets can only be transferred if the transferee accepts the contract along with all rights and duties, and the event organiser agrees to this. The organiser’s agreement is only deemed to have been granted under certain conditions. These are laid out in the Elbphilharmonie und Laeiszhalle Betriebsgesellschaft mbH’s Terms & Conditions.

In accordance with those terms, the transfer of tickets on within your private circle of family and friends is allowed – either as a gift or in return for the original price paid for the ticket. In such cases, please cross out the name entered on the ticket, and enter the name of the new entitled party.

Selling tickets via online marketplaces is expressly forbidden. Ticket holders who have not acquired their tickets legitimately can be refused access to the event.
