Ticket details
The show is outdoor open admission all standing no seats at all. See area maps.
For some strange reason those tickets printed out by the Postal Offices in Norway have got seat and row numbers. But there are no such seats/rows. Those tickets are of course valid as a general entrance ticket for the show, at the given category as shown on the ticket. There is a Front Of Stage (FOS) area on Ronne side
also called Golden Circle.
Ticket prices are NOK 2075 (Golden Circle), 1095, 795 including sales fees,
equivalent to approx. Euro 250, 140, 100.
The Golden Circle area in the front of the stage will have
separate toilet facilities and bar.

Check out the tourist sites.
Venue maps
Koengen is an outdoor area,
part of an old fortress area called Bergenhus.
In this area you do also find H�konshallen,
famous in Bergen.
Recommended hotels
All sold out they say but try the signs saying "Rom" (room)
which means someone is hiring out a room
in their private home. Great and local alternative.
Or ask the tourist office, located in the center of the city,
at Bryggen.
