Black Market
Black Market
Some internet platforms offer tickets for sold-out events at the Elbphilharmonie, sometimes from dubious sources and at highly inflated prices. We recommend that you only purchase tickets from official ticket shops, online at www.elbphilharmonie.com, or on official online platforms of external promoters, to which you will be forwarded from our website. Ticket holders who have not acquired their tickets legitimately can be refused access to the event.
Personalised Tickets
Personalised tickets have become necessary in order to combat unauthorised ticket sales and trading and to protect concertgoers from overpriced tickets. Therefore the person entitled to attend an event must have his/her/their name entered in the designated field on the ticket. All ticket holders are required to carry a valid photo ID.
-
What is allowed?
The person entitled to attend the event is the ticket purchaser as the promoter’s contractual partner. However, it is possible to transfer the ticket to another person if the purchase contract is adopted along with all rights and obligations. If you would like to pass on your tickets to family members or friends, be that as a gift or in return for the original ticket price, please cross out the name entered on the ticket and enter the name of the new entitled person. You can also change the name of the ticketholder via your customer account on www.elbphilharmonie.com and then download or send the online ticket again.
