Where are tickets allocated for the Philharmonic's New Year's Concert?

The Vienna Philharmonic distributes tickets for its New Year's Concert through a lottery on its own website. Tickets to that performance are not sold by Vienna Concerts.

For details of the lottery, consult the Vienna Philharmonic's website. Our selection covers other events, among them the Philharmonic Ensemble's 30 December performance at Palais Ferstel.

Dates and lowest prices from the Tiqets snapshot · 10 November 2026. Not live availability. Confirm times, repertoire and ticket conditions before booking.

What is listed for each of the three dates?

The choices below cover 30 December 2026, 31 December 2026 and 1 January 2027. Before completing a booking on Tiqets, confirm that the date, performance time and ticket category match your plans.

Although we highlight the 31 December Hofburg performance here, Tiqets lists a concert there on 1 January too. Do not use its normal 20:30 start time for the 1 January event.

Which tickets pair a concert with a meal?

Two dinner-and-music choices for 31 December are the gala at Palais Ferstel and the dinner-and-concert package at Palais Auersperg. For 1 January, compare Palais Auersperg's dinner option with the Strauss Dinner Concert at Mirage Theater.

Schönbrunn's Christmas market combination provides a different kind of meal: the voucher covers a single dish, a hot drink and a mug. It is not a seated gala dinner.

  • Palais Ferstel — Reserved seats accompany a four-course gala dinner, with a welcome cocktail and canapés included. Admission requires formal evening attire; anyone without it will be turned away. Neither refunds nor rescheduling are available.
  • Palais Auersperg — Dinner comes before the concert and consists of four Austrian courses, with the full experience lasting 195 minutes. Dietary needs can be catered for on request. There is no lift in the building.
  • Mirage Theater — The 1 January package combines a concert and a four-course meal over 135 minutes. Select the vegetarian option if required; drinks are not included.

What are the alternatives to a gala dinner?

Without a gala meal, the selection ranges from orchestral and chamber performances to church concerts and packages combining museum entry with music. Read each ticket's inclusions: a museum setting alone does not mean admission to the museum is covered.

  • Mozart and Strauss feature at Hofburg, Schönbrunn Orangerie and Palais Auersperg, giving you three venues to compare.
  • If you prefer a 60-minute concert, look at Haus der Musik for 31 December or Peterskirche for 1 January.
  • Karlskirche offers Vivaldi's Four Seasons on both 31 December and 1 January.
  • To combine music with included museum entry, consider Mozarthaus on either date or House of Strauss on 1 January.
  • On 30 December, Palais Ferstel hosts the Philharmonic Ensemble in waltzes, polkas and music by the Strauss family and their contemporaries. This performance is distinct from the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert.

Our Christmas concerts page covers performances on 24, 25 and 26 December. You can broaden your search through the Schönbrunn concerts page, the Mozart & Strauss concerts page or the Vienna concerts hub.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I apply for Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert tickets?

Apply through the lottery on the Vienna Philharmonic website. Vienna Concerts does not sell admission to that concert: every event presented here is a separate booking.

Which Vienna venues have bookable concerts on 31 December?

For 31 December, the selection covers Hofburg, Schönbrunn Orangerie, Palais Auersperg, Mozarthaus, Haus der Musik, Palais Eschenbach, Karlskirche and Minoritenkirche. You can also combine dinner and music at Palais Ferstel or Palais Auersperg. Confirm the date and ticket category you want on Tiqets.

Which performances can I consider for 1 January in Vienna?

On 1 January, compare Schönbrunn Orangerie, Mozarthaus, House of Strauss, Karlskirche, Peterskirche, Annakirche and Mirage Theater, as well as Palais Auersperg's concert-only and dinner packages. Hofburg is also listed on Tiqets for that date, though the standard 20:30 start time does not apply.

Where can I combine New Year's Eve dinner with a concert?

Palais Ferstel pairs its concert with a four-course gala meal; at Palais Auersperg, a four-course dinner precedes the performance. For the Palais Ferstel gala, formal evening dress is compulsory and the ticket cannot be refunded.

What cancellation deadlines apply to the year-end concert tickets?

No refund or rescheduling is possible for either the Palais Ferstel gala or the Philharmonic Ensemble performance on 30 December. For most of the other tickets listed, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the visit. The deadline is 48 hours for Mozarthaus, Minoritenkirche and Mirage Theater, whereas Annakirche permits free cancellation up to 1 hour beforehand. Always review the terms attached to the ticket you select.

Should I expect holiday performances to cost more than the advertised starting price?

Some do: the supplied listings for specific dates show higher holiday prices, including at Schönbrunn Orangerie and Palais Auersperg. Rather than relying on a general from-price, check Tiqets for the amount charged for your chosen date and ticket category.

What should guide my choice of a Vienna New Year concert?

Decide when you want to go and how much of the day you want the experience to fill before choosing a venue. Concert-only admission, a museum visit with music and a gala dinner each call for a different schedule. Across the listings from 30 December 2026 to 1 January 2027, running times extend from a 60-minute concert to a 195-minute dinner-and-music package.

Hofburg's New Year's Eve Mozart and Strauss concert runs for 90 minutes from 20:30; plan to be there 30 minutes early to exchange your voucher at the evening box office. At Schönbrunn, vocal performances are included in the 105-minute programme. Read the venue details on your ticket, as the performance may take place in another palace room rather than the Orangerie.

At Palais Auersperg, you can attend just the concert or add dinner beforehand. Mozart, Johann Strauss and Vivaldi feature in the musical programme, which also includes ballet performances. Choosing dinner gives you four courses and a total duration of 195 minutes. Keep access in mind whichever ticket you select: the building has no lift.

Haus der Musik provides a shorter 31 December option, with a string quartet playing Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Strauss and Beethoven in a 60-minute performance. You cannot enter late, and the concert ticket does not cover museum admission. For a package that does include a museum visit, Mozarthaus offers entry alongside a Wiener Ensemble programme focused on Mozart and his contemporaries.

You can also choose by repertoire among Vienna's church concerts. For Vivaldi's Four Seasons at Karlskirche, doors open at 19:45 ahead of the 20:15 performance; your ticket must be exchanged at least 20 minutes before the music starts. Wear clothing suitable for an interior that may be cold in winter. On 1 January, the Classic Ensemble Vienna performance at Peterskirche lasts 60 minutes, while Annakirche offers a 70-minute concert.

For the Palais Ferstel gala, plan around the full evening schedule: doors open and the welcome reception begins at 19:00, followed by dinner at 20:00. The music and dance gala runs from 22:00 to 02:00, so arriving at 22:00 is too late for dinner. You must wear formal attire, and the booking cannot be refunded or rescheduled.

The 30 December Philharmonic Ensemble performance at Palais Ferstel needs to be kept separate from the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert. Members of the Vienna Philharmonic play in the ensemble, but admission is through a ticket for this distinct event. Its duration is 120 minutes, and refunds are not available for it either.
