Which seats should we avoid?

Rows 13 to 17 in Block D have a partly blocked view of the ring. They're sold cheaper, at €20 for adults and €15 for kids, so they suit you only if price matters more than the view.

Do seniors and teenagers pay the kids' price?

Yes. Seniors, school pupils, students and people with a disability card pay kids' prices when they show ID.

Can we buy tickets at the tent?

Yes. From Dec 5 the circus box office is open daily from 12pm to 8pm. Before that, book online through Frankfurt Ticket RheinMain, at CTS box offices, or on the ticket hotline at 069 13 40 400.

On the Festplatz itself, which has plenty of spaces. For the sat nav, use Am Bornheimer Hang, 60386 Frankfurt. The Festplatz is close to the A661.

About

A classic circus in a big-top tent that sets up in Frankfurt every Christmas, now in its 13th edition. The 2026 show is headlined by Nomuna, a 14-person teeterboard troupe from Mongolia that won a Silver Clown at this year's Monte-Carlo circus festival. Around them: the Bello Sisters' hand-balancing act, an aerial ring duo, a fast juggler and a knife-and-crossbow pair. Best for kids who can sit through a long show.
