For all those who appreciate a personal purchase, we cooperate with the theatre box office at Neumarkt (Theaterkasse am Neumarkt). Here you can buy tickets directly at the ticket counter. The theatre box office is located on the mezzanine level of the Neumarkt underground station.
The exact address is:

By phone
You can also buy tickets by phone. Simply call the ticket hotline at 0221 42 07 6000.

At the evening box office
When the advance sale is closed, it is possible to buy remaining tickets at the evening box office. Our volunteers will offer you the opportunity to buy tickets and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Since last year, we have been offering the possibility to pay cashless at the evening box office for some events. At selected events you will have the option and choice at the box office of how you would like to pay for your ticket - cash or card.
Our Sommerblut price and ticketing model
The new price and ticketing model of the Sommerblut Kulturfestival has one idea: Everyone pays what they can or want to pay.
At all events where we can, we want to bring the idea of "Pay what you can" into the festival. The price does not determine the quality of the seats or the performance. Rather, the price should be based on solidarity and fairness.
We want to make it affordable for as many people as possible to visit the festival and thus break down economic barriers. This doesn't always work everywhere, but we would like to try out a new price system together with you.
So...which ticket type are you?
No-excuse-ticket
4€
This is the ticket for super-slim wallets. For all those who can't pay much but don't want to miss out on culture. A warm welcome.
The slim one
9€
This is the ticket for slim wallets. You can't or don't want to afford a normal-price ticket, but you can afford something cheaper than normal? That's perfectly ok. We look forward to seeing you.
The old favourite
17€
You think: That's a fair price for an evening at Sommerblut. We think so too. Welcome to the festival!
Feeling Generous Ticket
24€
You can afford to pay a little more than usual and more than others? And then do it too? That makes us happy. Thank you for your support.
Big gesture ticket
36€
You want to support us with a big gesture? Invite someone to a Sommerblut experience. You'll be helping us make society a little more open, diverse and maybe even better. Thank you very much.

Corona info
The pandemic has greatly changed our perception of live events and large groups of people in recent years. We want everyone to feel comfortable and safe at our festival. We have also learned that rules and personal feelings of safety can change rapidly. Therefore, we would like to point out that we want to observe all applicable measures in terms of infection control. Our festival takes place in many different locations around the city, so Corona rules may vary depending on the location. Please inform yourself about the applicable rules at the respective venue before your visit.
