Hello. When do concert tickets become available, and is it possible to purchase from abroad (USA). I am interested in the Thursday 5.26 concert. Thank you, and great site!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Tickets are not on sale yet and there's no news about when they will be available. All the performances are suspended at the moment and have to be confirmed. Keep checking for updates.
ReplyDeleteAre tickets available yet for purchase? My family is visiting in a couple weeks and I would like to purchase tickets as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
The only tickets for sale at the moment are the ones for the April 12 concert by Keith Jarreth.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know. Is that because they only sell them a week in advance? I am interested in buying tickets for the ballet on April 20. Also, is the only way to buy tickets to go the theater? Thank you again! It is surprisingly difficult to find this information online.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThis is because the conflict with the workers is not solved yet so they are selling just the performances which are confirmed to take place. Tickets can also be purchased through this website:

Good luck!
