Nachtschwärmer-Ticket
An allen Tagen bieten wir einen ermäßigten Spät-Einlass an. Wer erst zum Ausklang des Abends dazukommen möchte, erhält sein Nachtschwärmer-Ticket direkt an der Tageskasse. Der Verkauf startet 30 Minuten vor Ende der Arena-Show – also rund 1,5 Stunden nach deren Beginn.
Weil es sich um einen reinen Abend-Sondertarif und nicht um den regulären Eintritt handelt, fällt der Beitrag deutlich geringer aus: Erwachsene zahlen einen Sonderbeitrag von 10 €, Kinder von 5 €. Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner der Gemeinde Geltendorf erhalten das Nachtschwärmer-Ticket kostenfrei. Dieser Abendtarif gilt ausschließlich für den Spät-Einlass und ist kein regulärer Ticketpreis.
