We recommend purchasing tickets online via our webshop. The online presale ends two hours before the start of the respective event. Payment can be made by bank transfer or credit card. Tickets purchased online are generally excluded from the right of exchange and return. No replacement will be provided for expired tickets.
The box office opens two hours before the start of the first event of the day. There is a waiting list for sold-out events. Any reserved tickets that have not been collected can then be purchased as remaining tickets. The waiting list for all events of the day opens two hours before the start of the first event. Tickets are generally excluded from the right of exchange and return.
No further proof is required for the reduced ticket. We trust that you are the best judge of whether you need a reduced ticket.
These ticket prices are comparatively affordable. We would like to keep it that way, because culture is for everyone. To ensure that we can continue providing this, we recommend that visitors who are financially able to do so purchase a ticket for 20.00€. For all those who would like to and are able to support our work and the work of the artists beyond this, there is our dream price of 25.00€.
Disabled persons receive a reduced ticket. If an accompanying person is required, they will receive a free ticket. The accompanying ticket can be booked online, by telephone or at the box office in combination with a ›Reduced‹ ticket.
Children up to the age of 12 receive a ticket for 5.00€.
Holders of ›Berechtigungsnachweis‹ will receive remaining tickets at the box office at a price of 3.00€, subject to availability. A prior reservation of the ticket is not possible.

There are no parking facilities at the Sophiensæle.

To prepare for protests, unrest and riots, riot police forces around the world stage elaborate, script-based simulations. In addition to the uniformed officers in training, other police officers take on the roles of protesters—chanting political slogans and wearing symbols of political subcultures. A genuine police theater. In Crowd Control, seven performers transpose these police tactics and practices—typically classified as ›confidential‹—onto the stage: into an ambiguous simulation setup where the boundaries between the logic of theater and that of the police begin to blur.
Content Note: Crowd Control shows police practices and the simulation of violence in the context of police training.
