Tickets

Advance ticket sales usually begin at 10.00 am on the third calendar day of the preceding month. For members of the ‘Freundeskreis des Berliner Ensemble’ as well as holders of a ‘Premieren-Abo’, a ‘Wahl-Abo’ or a BE-Card, advance sale begins at 10.00 am one working day earlier via the special login in the online shop. If the early or regular advance booking date happens to fall on a Sunday or a public holiday, the sale is postponed by one working day (Monday to Saturday).

We ask that you to pay for your reserved tickets by the agreed deadline: any unpaid tickets will be released back into general sale.

You can purchase tickets directly from our box office or book them conveniently round the clock via our online shop and our new BE app.

If your preferred seats for a performance are no longer available, you can join the waiting list via our online shop or our BE app. We will contact you if we are able to fulfil your seat request.
 

You can find an overview of the seating and prices for the "Großes Haus", "Neues Haus" and "Werkraum" here. 

Groups of 10 or more people receive a 20 per cent discount on the standard ticket price across all price categories. Group enquiries for school pupils and students (10 or more people) are also welcome here. The price for school pupils, students and accompanying adults is €9 per person (standard reduced price).
Please send group bookings in writing to our theatre box office by email to theaterkasse@berliner-ensemble.de, stating the institution (school, university, club), group size and your contact details (email, mobile number, name of the institution).

We will process your booking request according to the order in which it is received once advance ticket sales have begun. Group bookings must be paid for no later than ten days before the performance; otherwise, the booking will be cancelled. If you are interested, your visit to the performance can be combined with a theatre tour or a theatre workshop. Please direct enquiries regarding this to our education department, EINBLICKE: einblicke@berliner-ensemble.de.

There are two places for wheelchairs and accompanying seats in the stalls of Großes Haus, and one place for a wheelchair and accompanying seat in Kleines Haus. Persons relying on a wheelchair are charged a standard ticket price of 6 Euros and 10 Euros for one accompanying person. Please reserve your tickets no later than seven days before the performance.

The Berliner Ensemble offers a special service for our international audience and visitors to Berlin from all over the world: Several times a month, we will present selected performances on the main stage at Großes Haus with surtitles in English. You can find the dates here and in our monthly programme; the performances with surtitles will be specifically marked. Our box office staff will be happy to tell you from which seats you will have a good sight-line to the surtitles. For the best view of both stage and surtitles, we recommend seats in the balconies (1. Rang, 2. Rang) or in the stalls (Parkett) from row 13. Seats in the side boxes have a partially obstructed view.
