Take care all over Vienna, you can book seats for musical venues, but not all are good. We booked at the Wiener musikverein and had very good sets at the highest balcony. These where the only seats next to another, so we couldn't chose ourselves. The Bruckner orchester from Linz performed in the Goldene Saal. The room of the New... More

To begin with, it's worth the price of admission just to be in the famous golden hall, where the annual New Year's Day concerts are held, but the Wiener Mozart Orchester puts the icing on the cake. I attended their concert with two friends, and all three of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Conductor and musicians all wear powdered wigs... More

if you want to buy tickets for the musikverein you should never go through Vienna Classic.They charge you a commision of 25 % of the ticket price. You may pay a high price for a very crumy seat. Buy only tickets directly through the Musikveein so you can choose your seat. We made a sad experience! Karin Crucy

But, I was delightful with two concerts in January and few days ago (Easter Concert, Mozart Orchestra). Both were in Golden hall. I booked a tickets via official Website and had no problems to get them one hour before... More

To celebrate my husband's 66th birthday, he bought concert tickets to the Musikverein. it is best to book the tickets online on Musikverein's website instead of a booking agency. It has been a dream to hear a concert where the annual New Year's Promenade Concert was held and seen on TV. My husband was not quite sure, whether the seats... More

Very nice and old building with great acoustics. If can't afford the seating area you can always go for the standing in the back its much cheaper. We had a nice seat in the front acoustics are unparalleled and best I have ever heard. As much as I understood there are a lot of salons, go for the central or... More

We were so lucky to get tickets to the New Year's Day Concert in Jan 2011. We visited the Musikverein to take the tour the day before the concert and that was a brilliant idea. The tour is very good and takes you around the building explaining the history of every last detail! It was useful to have this tour... More

We booked a concert for Mozart and Strauss which was in the golden hall 'Grosser saal' which by far was the highlight of our trip to vienna. Strongly recommend that you book your tickets well in advance online in order to get good seats as last minute tickets are often in restriced view seats. The best seats are those on... More

I was at Neujahrkonzert 2011/12 (New Year's concert) in Großer Saal. It is great, everything is decorated, performance is superb! I will remember this whole my life. Ticket was about 400 eur, but worths every cent!

An amazing concert hall! It was just magic! Watched a show here in the Golden Room which was beautifully decorated with big chandeliers! One of the top concert halls in the world! Loved the Mozart Choral symphony! Definitely a top thing to do in Vienna. It was nice to see men make the effort to wear a suit and some... More
