How do I get tickets for the Philharmonic's New Year's Concert?

Tickets for the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert are allocated by lottery through the Vienna Philharmonic website. We do not sell tickets for that concert.

Which concerts include dinner?

For 31 December, compare the Palais Ferstel gala with the Palais Auersperg dinner-and-concert ticket. Palais Auersperg also has a 1 January option, alongside the Strauss Dinner Concert at Mirage Theater.

The Schönbrunn Christmas market package is different: it includes one dish, one hot drink and one mug, rather than a seated gala dinner.

• Palais Ferstel — Four-course gala dinner, reserved seating, welcome cocktail and canapés. Formal evening attire is required; guests without it will not be admitted. Non-refundable; no rescheduling.
• Palais Auersperg — Four-course Austrian menu before the concert; 195 minutes in total. Dietary requirements can be accommodated on request. The building has no lift.
• Mirage Theater — Four-course dinner and concert on 1 January; 135 minutes. A vegetarian option is available if selected. Beverages are excluded.

What can I choose without a gala dinner?

Choose between orchestral programmes, chamber music, church concerts and museum-and-concert tickets. Check inclusions carefully: a concert inside a museum does not always include museum admission.

• For Mozart and Strauss: compare Hofburg, Schönbrunn Orangerie and Palais Auersperg.
• For a 60-minute programme: Haus der Musik on 31 December or Peterskirche on 1 January.
• For Vivaldi's Four Seasons: Karlskirche on 31 December or 1 January.
• For museum admission with music: Mozarthaus on either day, or House of Strauss on 1 January.
• For 30 December: the Philharmonic Ensemble at Palais Ferstel performs waltzes, polkas and works by the Strauss family and their contemporaries. This is not the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert.

Frequently asked questions

How should I choose a New Year concert in Vienna?

Start with the date and the format, rather than the venue name alone. A concert ticket, a museum-and-concert combination and a gala dinner cover different parts of your day. The listings here span 30 December 2026 to 1 January 2027, with durations ranging from 60 minutes for a concert to 195 minutes for dinner and music.

For Mozart and Strauss on New Year's Eve, Hofburg has a 90-minute concert starting at 20:30. Arrive 30 minutes beforehand and exchange your voucher at the evening box office. Schönbrunn's programme lasts 105 minutes and includes vocal performances. Its concert can move from the Orangerie to another room in the palace, so check the venue information on your ticket.

Palais Auersperg offers a useful choice between concert-only admission and dinner before the performance. The concert programme includes Mozart, Johann Strauss and Vivaldi, with ballet performances. The dinner package lasts 195 minutes and includes four courses. Neither option changes the building's access limitation: Palais Auersperg has no lift.

For a shorter evening on 31 December, Haus der Musik offers a 60-minute string-quartet programme featuring Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Strauss and Beethoven. Museum admission is excluded, and late entry is not permitted. Mozarthaus, by contrast, combines museum entry with a Wiener Ensemble concert devoted to Mozart and his contemporaries.

Church concerts offer another programme choice. Karlskirche presents Vivaldi's Four Seasons at 20:15, with doors opening at 19:45. Exchange the ticket at least 20 minutes before the performance and dress for potentially cold winter temperatures inside. On 1 January, Peterskirche offers a 60-minute Classic Ensemble Vienna concert, while Annakirche's concert lasts 70 minutes.

If dinner and dancing are the priority, read the Palais Ferstel gala conditions before booking. Formal attire is mandatory, and the ticket cannot be refunded or rescheduled. Its gala programme starts at 22:00, with live dance music continuing until 02:00; do not treat 22:00 as a confirmed dinner arrival time.

Finally, distinguish the Philharmonic Ensemble concert at Palais Ferstel on 30 December from the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert. The ensemble includes members of the Vienna Philharmonic, but this is a separate event with its own ticket. It lasts 120 minutes and is also non-refundable.
