The Musikverein is the home of the Vienna Philharmonic, and its great hall, the one with the gilding and the caryatids, is one you recognise the moment the New Year's Concert starts playing on television. It is on Musikvereinsplatz, next to Karlsplatz, a short walk from the State Opera.
How to buy tickets
The official website sells tickets online by card or by several Austrian bank transfers, by phone (+43 1 505 8190), by email (tickets@musikverein.at) and at the box office. Purchased tickets cannot be cancelled; they are collected at the box office with the card used or with the booking confirmation, or printed at home.
The box office is open from September to June Monday to Friday 9:00 to 19:00 and on Saturdays 9:00 to 13:00; in July and August, Monday to Friday 9:00 to 12:00. On performance days it also opens an hour before the concert.
Standing places and advance sales
The hall has standing places, and the website applies the same advance-sale dates to them as to everything else: members buy two months before the concert and the general public one week later. The official page does not publish the price of standing places, so check it when you buy.
What to wear and what to leave outside
The Musikverein asks for "festive attire appropriate to the occasion" and discourages sportswear. Coats, bags, backpacks, umbrellas and folding chairs are not allowed into the hall, nor into the standing area, and the cloakroom may charge for leaving garments and large bags. Suitcases are not stored.
Guided tour
There are public tours in English and German, with tickets from €6 in the online shop. They do not run on Sundays or public holidays and may be postponed or cancelled because of rehearsals or works. Groups of more than eight people request a slot via a form, and tours in other languages are only for groups.

## Consejos

### Buy two months ahead
Concerts with the Philharmonic are the first to sell out; check the programme on the website when sales open.

### Choose a day without a concert for the tour
That is when the hall looks its best, and it is the way in if there are no tickets.

## Preguntas frecuentes

It is not forbidden in writing, but the hall asks for festive attire and discourages sportswear.

### Are there tours on Sundays?
