Next to tickets for invited guests, there will be a limited stock on tickets for the
general public from Hamburg, Germany and other countries.



Prof. Barbara Kisseler, Kultursenatorin of Hamburg: "The curiosity about the
Elbphilharmonie is enormous. A house for everyone is raising right in the heart of the
city. We want people from home and abroad to have the chance to take part at the opening
concerts - not only invited guests."



These days director Christoph Lieben-Seutter and his team are compiling the program
for 2017, which will bring the overwhelming sound of the big hall to life. "We will
announce the whole program in April, tickets will be available from June onwards."



The Elbphilharmonie will be handed over to the city of Hamburg this fall and be opened
to the public in November, when the plaza will open its doors; the public place between
the historic and the new built part of the iconic building.



After completing the spectacular outside of the building, the interior fittings and
the finalization of the so called "white skin" in the great hall are passing on to the
final construction phase.



Jacques Herzog of Herzog & de Meuron is excited about the progress of the construction
side: "One year before the opening, one can see which tremendous impact the
Elbphilharmonie will have on Hamburg. We are very happy."
