Frequently Asked Questions
What if I become ill or cannot attend the performance?

Can I give my tickets to someone else?
Tickets can generally be transferred, but commercial resale or offering them through internet auctions without prior consent is prohibited and may result in ticket cancellation.
How is seating arranged in the Great Festival Hall?
Seating is assigned according to legal requirements and must be adhered to. The venue reserves the right to allocate seats of the same category if necessary. Follow the instructions of the ushers. Wheelchair seating requires notification if a companion seat is needed.
