Berlin Philharmonic tickets: when they go on sale
In three fixed phases a season. Concerts from December 2026 to 3 April 2027 went on sale on 10 October 2026, and the rest of the 2026/27 season goes on sale on Saturday 13 February 2027 at 12:00 Berlin time.
- When does booking open?
- Three sale dates a season; next 13 February 2027, 12:00 CET. For 2026/27: 6 June 2026 from 11:00 CEST for August to November; 10 October 2026 from 12:00 CEST for December to 3 April 2027; 13 February 2027 from 12:00 CET for the rest of the season. The official page gives these times without a time zone; Berlin time is assumed. Flex packages let you book concerts from December onwards before general sale.
- How far ahead is that?
- About 2 to 6 months ahead.
- Where do I book?
- Online through the concert calendar at berliner-philharmoniker.de, by phone or at the Philharmonie box office. Visitors from abroad can buy online.
- Does it sell out?
- Many of the orchestra's own concerts sell out, which is why the box office runs a standby system, but there is no published figure for how fast each phase goes.
- Can I cancel or change?
- Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded. If a concert is postponed, the ticket is valid for the new date.

How to book
Online, pick the concert in the calendar and book. By phone, call +49 30 254 88-999, Monday to Saturday 12:00 to 18:00. The box office is open Monday to Saturday 12:00 to 18:00, and the evening box office opens one hour before each concert.
There is a service fee of 3 euros per ticket. Online payment is by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Prices vary by concert and seat category.
If it’s sold out
For sold-out concerts by the orchestra, standby tickets are sometimes released two days before the first concert evening, at the box office only. Standing room tickets are sold at the box office on the evening of the concert.
Many programmes run on two or three nights in a row, so check the other dates. The orchestra's Digital Concert Hall streams concerts.
Booking for a group
A flex package (3, 5 or 9 concerts, 5 to 15% off) can be bought for up to four people per transaction. The ticket page gives no limit per order for single tickets.
Book the whole group in one order to have the best chance of seats together.
