Seating categories and allocation
At some concert venues seats are divided in different ranks. Seats in rank 1 offer the best view of the musicians, whereas seats in rank 2 are somewhat less favourable but cheaper. Your ticket always states whether there is allocated or open seating.
If you order tickets online for a concert with allocated seating, you can choose your own seats. If you order by telephone, order form, or via e-mail, you can also mention any seating preferences you have.
Subscription series and discount
During the Festival Oude Muziek Tournees, you enjoy early music at a reasonable price. We offer location-specific subscription series for cities hosting four or more concerts. You can also opt for a flexible subscription. If you order tickets for at least four different concerts, you are entitled to a 20% discount. Please note: if you order online, this discount will not be applied automatically; you can select the 20% discount rate yourself.
Discount for Friends of Early Music
As a Friend, you can order tickets with discount. You can redeem this discount by filling in your unique Friend code. This code has been sent to you by e-mail and is also stated on your Friend card.
