Ticket validity if the open-air performance is cancelled or takes place indoors due to bad weather

Bregenz Festival policy is to proceed with open-air performances even if the weather looks inclement, and we wish to stress that performances will go ahead on the Seebühne even in the event of light rain. We therefore recommend visitors to bring waterproof clothing, but not umbrellas, because these obscure the view and adversely affect the acoustics. The opera on the lake stage will by performed without an interval.

Tickets for category 1, festival-lounge and premium-tickets

Category 1 tickets, Festival Lounge tickets and Premium Tickets printed with the text "gültig für See + Festspielhaus/keine Rückerstattung" are valid for the semi-staged version that will take place in the Festspielhaus if the lake stage performance is cancelled or runs for less than 90 minutes. These tickets shall not be refunded.

Tickets for categories 2 to 5 are valid only for Floating Stage performances

Tickets for Categories 2 to 5 printed with the text "gültig nur für die Seebühne" are valid only for the performance on the lake stage. If a performance is transferred to the Festspielhaus, ticket holders will be refunded the ticket value if the open-air performance does not take place at all or is abandoned after less than 60 minutes.
