Ticket Information
Due to extremely high demand, tickets for the three traditional end of year concerts of the Vienna Philharmonic are drawn by lot exclusively on the Vienna Philharmonic website. In this way, music lovers from all over the world have an equal chance to purchase these highly desired tickets. Between February 1 and 28, 2023, applications will be accepted to take part in the drawing for tickets to the end of year concerts 2023/24.
Application Period: February 1 - 28, 2023
During this period, interested persons are invited to apply on this website for tickets to the Preview Performance (December 30, 2023, 11:00 AM), the New Year's Eve Concert (December 31, 2023, 7:30 PM), and the New Year's Concert (January 1, 2024, 11:15 AM).
The first step toward making an application for tickets is to register for the drawing. The registration is separate from your user account for the Webshop and is specifically for the drawing. This registration is valid for one year.
Users can enter their ticket preferences for the upcoming concerts during the application period in February. Here you can indicate for which concerts and in which categories you would like to purchase tickets. You may register once for each of the three concerts.
Price Categories
The number of tickets for the New Year's Concert is limited to two, and the number of tickets for the Preview Performance and New Year's Eve Concert can be up to four. The ticket prices range between 35 € and 1200 € for the New Year's Concert, 25 € and 860 € for the New Year's Eve Concert, and 20 € and 495 € for the Preview Performance.
