Frequently Asked Questions

How many types of tickets are there for the show? What does each ticket guarantee me?

There are three types of tickets for the show. Each ticket type offers different flexibility and priority of entry, depending on your preferences.

Α. 24-hour advance tickets

Your ticket guarantees admission to the Main Stage at 16:00 on October 5 for the full 24-hour experience. It is the only ticket that guarantees you watch the first three hours of the show and the one that automatically gives you priority over other ticket holders should you leave the auditorium for more than 15 minutes. We recommend that you be at the Onassis Stegi no later than 15:30 to avoid waiting time.

Β. Advance tickets for a specific slot

Your ticket gives you priority entry to the Main Stage at the time indicated on it. You can stay as long as you like from the selected slot onwards. We recommend being 15 minutes earlier than the listed time for your convenience. If you are late, you may have to wait.

C. Tickets available at the door of the Onassis Stegi during the performance

Purchasing this type of ticket does not guarantee a specific entry time. You will enter as soon as a seat becomes available. Until then, you may have a short wait.

I have an advance ticket for a specific slot. How long will I have to wait to get into the Main Stage?

An advance ticket guarantees priority entry. However, because this is a 24-hour show and there are specific time slots when entry is allowed, you may have a short wait. We recommend arriving at the Onassis Stegi 30 minutes before the start time or 15 minutes before the slot you have chosen to attend.

If I come to purchase a ticket at the door during the show, will I definitely get in?

Entry to the Main Stage will be possible as soon as a seat is available. However, we cannot guarantee your waiting time until your entry. Tickets at the door will become available whenever an audience member is out of the auditorium for more than 15 minutes.

Can I give my ticket to a friend if I decide to leave?

Tickets are strictly personal and are non-transferable. Only the original ticket holder can re-enter the Main Stage.

Are the seats reserved?

All seats are unreserved except those for wheelchair users. Let the staff know if you need special access, and they will assist you.

Will I have the same view from all seats?

The view varies depending on the seat. That’s why we recommend you move seats and enjoy the performance from different angles when seats become available in the auditorium.

Will the show be universally accessible?

The performance will offer Greek Signal Language interpretation on October 5, 2024, from 20:00 to 22:00. There are special types of tickets (disabled) that you can purchase in advance. Contact us for reservations at 2130178036 or infotickets@onassis.org, and upon arrival, show your ticket to the staff for immediate entry.

Will there be food available during the performance? Can we bring our own?

You can buy hot and cold snacks, beverages, and drinks throughout the 24 hours at the Onassis Stegi to enjoy the experience uninterrupted, even in the early morning hours. You can also bring a drink from the bar inside the Main Stage, but not your snack. You are not allowed to bring food or beverages from home.

Can I hold a place for someone else in the queue?

Everyone who wishes to purchase an on-the-door ticket must wait in person in the queue. So, get your friends together from the beginning.

Will I be able to sit with my friends?

Seats are not reserved, so we cannot guarantee that you will be seated together from the beginning. However, you can move seats throughout the performance to be together.
