To set up a customer account through registration and verification, which are prerequisites for online instant purchase, providing a valid postal address, a verified email address, and a phone number is mandatory. Registering and verifying a new customer account is also possible during the instant purchase process, but from May 29th at 1:00 PM, only after going through the waiting queue. The waiting queue will be activated on May 29th at 2:00 PM for the start of sales. We recommend that you register and verify a new customer account early.
For each performance, tickets can only be ordered from one price category. Regardless of the number of online instant purchase transactions by a buyer, a total of up to 12 tickets, up to 4 tickets per work performed, and up to 2 tickets can be acquired in the gallery (G1 to G4). Performances of the tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen, consisting of the individual works Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung, can only be ordered as a complete cycle and count as one ticket/one work upon purchase.
