Notes

Our ticket and table booking system will be available from October 30, 2025. If you buy your tickets via our advance booking system, you will receive them comfortably as a Print@Home version. Please print them out and bring them with you on the evening of the ball.
A seat reservation does NOT replace the admission ticket. In any case, you will need an admission ticket, which must be purchased separately.
It is not possible to cancel or rebook tickets or seats that have been purchased.
An official resale platform has been set up on ticketswap for the WU Ball 2026. Only tickets purchased through this platform can be guaranteed to be valid. We strongly advise against selling or purchasing tickets through other third-party providers.
You will need an admission ticket to attend the WU Ball. An admission ticket does not include a seat.
The QR code is only valid once and is invalidated the first time it is scanned at the entrance. Copied or repeatedly printed tickets therefore do not allow access. When leaving the event, this ticket loses its validity and therefore does not authorise repeated entry. The organiser reserves the right to refuse admission to the event to all persons with ball tickets with an identical QR code.
Guests with a valid admission ticket are subject to the house rules.
Film and sound recordings as well as photos will be made during the ball, and by attending the event you agree to the subsequent use of these.
It is not permitted to bring any food or drink with you.
Smoking prohibition: The general smoking prohibition of § 13 of the Tobacco Act, which applies to public places, applies to the entire premises of the Vienna Hofburg. Smoking is therefore ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED in all rooms (except for the demarcated outdoor area to the right in front of the main entrance) - e-cigarettes and similar items are also not permitted.
