Without a spectator ticket, you can follow the opening via live stream on one of the numerous screens installed in the various rooms or try to secure one of our free standing places in the ballroom ("first come, first served") from the moment you enter.
All spectator tickets can only be booked in conjunction with regular tickets.
Prices excl. admission ticket and catering.
In order to offer you the perfect ball experience, we recommend reserving a table in addition to your admission ticket. This means you have a guaranteed seat for the entire evening of the ball, can order food and drinks directly to your table and do not have to queue at the buffet. Live music is played in many rooms after the opening.
The number of seats at a table varies per room. In most cases, a table seats 4 or 6 people. You can purchase individual seats or an entire table.
Please note that all tables are located outside the ballroom.
All table shares can only be booked in conjunction with regular admission tickets.
Prices exclude admission ticket and catering.
