For a change, something doesn’t get more expensive. For theatres, operas, shows and concerts, ticket prices will remain stable with small deviations for the time being, despite increased energy costs and inflation.

“There has been no price increase at the Berliner Ensemble since 2017 and none are currently planned,” said spokeswoman Hannah Linnenberger. You don’t have to pay more at the Schaubühne. The Deutsche Oper last raised prices in 2019/20. The 2022/23 season is already on sale at unchanged prices.
At the Schlosspark Theater, as in the comedy at the Schiller Theater, the tickets will not be more expensive this year. One concert promoter has reported that increased energy costs have not yet had an impact on prices. One cannot give a prognosis in view of the war in Ukraine and also because the bills are yet to come.
The prices for the Philharmoniker remain stable, but there are slight reductions on occasions such as the start of the season and New Year’s Eve concerts. “Because it was so expensive and it was important to us to make these concerts accessible to as many people as possible,” emphasizes artistic director Andrea Zietzschmann.
In the tipi at the chancellery and in the bar of every reason, higher price groups have become 18 percent more expensive, the lower 20 percent cheaper. Spokeswoman Sabine Wenger: “Because of higher personnel and energy costs, we need more income, but we want to avoid that people with lower incomes can no longer afford to visit us.”
