FAQ
No, digital tickets on your smartphone are accepted at all entrances. Ensure your QR code is downloaded for offline use, as mobile reception inside the historic Hofburg stone walls can be unreliable.
Official tickets are generally non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If your travel plans are uncertain, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide is recommended, as they frequently offer a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.
Children under 3 years old are not permitted in the arena for safety and noise reasons. For Morning Training, children aged 3 to 6 usually enter free of charge if they sit on an adult's lap, while performances require a paid ticket for all permitted ages.
Photography and filming are strictly prohibited during all performances and guided tours to avoid distracting the stallions. During Morning Training, non-flash photography is typically allowed, but video recording remains forbidden.
Late entry is not permitted once the music starts to ensure the horses are not spooked by movement in the stands. You will likely have to wait until a scheduled intermission to be seated, and no refunds are provided for missed segments.
There is no formal dress code for Morning Training or Guided Tours, though smart-casual attire is common. For gala performances, many visitors opt for elegant dress, and large bags or backpacks must be left at the cloakroom (Garderobe) for a small fee.
Morning Training (Morgenarbeit) is a casual practice session with music showing the horses' daily routine; seating is first-come, first-served. A Performance is a choreographed gala show in full traditional uniform featuring the most advanced 'High School' jumps and movements with assigned seating.
