‘currently not available’ either means that there are no more tickets currently available for that performance or that tickets cannot be booked in the webshop anymore, as tickets for performances the same evening can be booked up until the evening box office opens (one hour before the performance starts, for COMISH 90 minutes before the performance starts).

It means you receive your ticket as pdf to be printed out as a ticketdirect or presented to the admission ushers on your smartphone.

Registration is strongly recommended for anyone wishing to enter the Parliament Building. Here you can find all Information and you can register online.
As an alternative to registration, admission is also possible by leaving an official photo ID at the desk in the entrance area.
Please note that this may result in longer waiting times!

In any case, please bring your official photo ID with you!

If a performance is sold out, the evening box office will draw up a waiting list when it opens. 15 minutes before the performance is due to begin, any remaining tickets will be sold according to the order on the list.
