The authorities have designated 10 wheelchair places in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein. They are located in a Parterreloge (normal visibility) and in the Balkonloge (limited visibility).

Yes, all handicapped seating is accessible by elevator.

The designated wheelchair places in the Musikverein in the balcony boxes and the ground floor boxes, 2nd row are approximately 90 x 140 cm. The elevator in the Musikverein has the approximate measurements 90 x 150 cm. The minimum officially prescribed measurements for a wheelchair in Austria are 80 x 120 cm.

This is not possible. The limited number of wheelchair places in the hall are reserved for those who truly need them. In this case, please return your tickets to the Vienna Philharmonic Ticket Office. You will be refunded the cost of tickets already purchased.

We receive many such requests every year. Although we would like to fulfill such requests, it is simply not possible. The only way to obtain tickets for these concerts is by taking part in the online drawing!
