Question 1

Do kids get cheaper tickets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for selected performances and seats. Children and anyone 20 and under get 40-50% off the full ticket price. Seats run €31-130 depending on the view and the date, and the cheapest categories (F-H) are sold at standard price only. On the day, a €30 Stalls ticket for those 20 and under goes on sale 12 hours before the show, if seats remain.

Question 2

Can we change the date if a kid gets sick?

Accepted Answer

Full-price and under-20 tickets can be exchanged in the online store free of charge up to 24 hours before the performance. The value goes to your customer account for later use.

Question 3

Does my child need to understand Finnish?

Accepted Answer

No. It's a ballet, so the story is told through dance and Tchaikovsky's music.

Question 4

Can we get snacks at the interval?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Refreshments can be ordered ahead in the online store, or through the Opera&Ballet app for pick-up at a counter during the interval.
