Tickets and Admission for the Vienna New Year Concert
Tickets for the New Year Concert are not sold in the usual way but allocated through a drawing run by the Vienna Philharmonic. Registration took place in February 2026, with prices ranging from 40 to 1,320 euros depending on the seating category. Those who were not successful in the drawing sometimes find tickets through travel operators or the resale market, though usually at significantly higher prices.
