Rates and discounts

SEATING ARRANGEMENT

Opera and ballet performances

In order to ensure that the prices of each seat correspond as closely as possible to visibility, we implement a seating arrangement based on different categories and their corresponding price ranges. We primarily consider the distance to and sightlines towards the stage.

During the online purchasing process, after selecting your seat, you can use the 360-degree view to see a photo with the perspective towards the stage from your chosen seat. The box office is also happy to provide you with this information.

To better match demand with availability, we use dynamic ticket pricing, meaning the price of individual tickets may vary throughout the season based on demand.

Tickets are non-refundable.

AN INCLUSIVE SPACE FOR EVERYONE

Opera Ballet Vlaanderen actively promotes accessibility and inclusivity. Through an adapted pricing policy, we aim to lower financial barriers. The charm of our historic buildings presents challenges in meeting modern comfort standards for people with limited mobility. We are happy to discuss this with you and invite you to share your questions with us at info@operaballet.be.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are advantageous if you attend more than one or two performances a year and come in different sizes, shapes and price formulas. You can find a season ticket from as little as 3 performances. Check the overview to find out in the overview which season ticket best suits you.

Please note:

• Are you entitled to a discount but your tickets have already been booked and paid for? Unfortunately, we cannot refund you the difference. So pay attention before you book and make sure you select the right fare. Is the fare not available online? Please contact the box office.

Persons with disabilities

• Those eligible for this rate receive a 50% discount on the standard price. Special wheelchair spaces are available on the parterre for opera and ballet performances. If there is a companion, the same discount applies. Tickets at this rate can only be ordered by phone or in person at the ticket office upon presentation of an official certificate. We also ask that you mention during booking if special assistance is required. This rate cannot be applied retroactively (please mention the discount when ordering).
  Adapted restrooms are available in all our venues.
• In Opera Ghent, the elevator only goes up to the level of the first balcony, where the foyer and lounges are located. In Opera Antwerp, the elevator goes all the way to the top. If you have limited mobility, seats on the ground floor or the first balcony are always the best option.

• Assistance dogs are welcome but must be notified in advance.

If you have additional questions or need special assistance, please contact us at info@operaballet.be.
