Drawing for Tickets for the New Year's Concert 2009
Due to extremely high demand, tickets for the traditional end of year concerts are drawn by lot over the Vienna Philharmonic website at the beginning of each year. In this way, music lovers from all over the world have an equal chance to purchase these highly desired tickets. Between January 2 and 23, 2008 registrations will be accepted to take part in the drawing for tickets to the end of year concerts 2008/2009.
During this period, all interested parties are invited to register at this website for tickets to the Preview Performance (Dec. 30, 2008, 11:00 AM), the New Year's Eve Concert (December 31, 2008, 7:30 PM,), and the New Year's Concert (January 1, 2009, 11:15 AM). At the end of the registration period, the tickets will be drawn from among all submitted applications, and all participants will be notified by the end of March 2008 regarding the outcome of the drawing.
Upon registering you will find a seating chart which includes price categories. You may select your desired price category and also indicate the number of tickets you would like to purchase. The number of tickets for the New Year's Concert is limited to two, but the number of tickets requested for the Preview Performance and New Year's Eve Concert can be higher. The ticket prices range between €25 and €850 for the New Year's Concert, €20 and €680 for the New Year's Eve Concert, and €130 and €380 for the Preview Performance (for this concert no standing room tickets are available). The program is the same for all three concerts.
Within the three week registration period, the actual time of registration is irrelevant. A registration made on January 23rd has the same chances as a registration made on January 2nd. You may register for each concert one time, but registering many times for one concert will not improve your chances of receiving a ticket.
The only way to participate in the drawing for tickets is by filling out the registration form! Requests submitted by e-mail or any other means will not be considered!
We wish you much success with the drawing!
