Information on advance sales for concerts in the Elbphilharmonie

Please note: Due to high demand for concert tickets to the Elbphilharmonie, please note the following:


  • For concerts of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra at the Elbphilharmonie (Grand Hall) up to 4 tickets per concert programme and a total of 10 tickets can be purchased. This applies regardless of the purchase method.

  • In order to ensure equal access for different purchase methods, some concert tickets are available only in person or by phone. This means that not all available seats will be visible in the online shop.

  • Unfortunately, written orders by mail, fax or email cannot be filled.

  • We explicitly warn against ticket purchases from non-authorized dealers.

Your Visit

Since April 30, 2022, masks are no longer required indoors in Hamburg. Since the State Opera has a powerful ventilation system, which supplies the auditorium with 70,000 m³ of fresh air every hour, a high level of safety is and was already given when visiting the house. And of course you can still increase your individual protection by wearing an FFP2 mask.

For all concerts of the Philharmonic State Orchestra in the Elbphilharmonie, the regulations valid at the respective venue will apply. Further information can be found here.

Beware of Overpriced Tickets

For your own security, do not buy tickets from unauthorized dealers! Regular tickets for the Philharmonic Concerts are usually priced between € 12.00 and 98.00. There are several third parties on the internet offering tickets to our concerts at the Elbphilharmonie which are vastly overpriced, often priced at several hundred Euros. We strongly discourage you from buying such tickets, as these are illegal commercial resales. Without prior consent of the State Orchestra, tickets may not be resold for commercial purposes. Private resales at increased prices are also prohibited. In such cases, the State Orchestra reserves the right to cancel such tickets and to exclude those responsible from purchasing further tickets in the future.
