Useful information
Companion certificate
We will of course accept escort certificates at all of our event. You can read more about ticket purchases on our ticket info page
Wheelchair
Unfortunately, not all of our venues are equally well adapted to wheelchairs. Feel free to contact us before you buy a ticket and we will find a way to get you exactly where you want so that you have a stress-free cultural experience.
Triggers
We inform about triggers such as theme and strobe lights etc. inside each event.
Please note that some concerts and performances are not finished when we program them, so we do not always know everything until it gets closer, so feel free to make a final check in advance so you are absolutely sure.
Same night, more concerts?
Between most of our events we calculate about 30 - 45 min from the end of the event to the next start, so it will be nice to go from event to event - either on foot or by bus/taxi/car.
