Standing Tickets Only:
There are only standing rooms available at the concert venue. Therefore, bringing chairs or other seating is not allowed. Please note that the concert lasts approximately three hours. Consider whether you can stand for the entire concert before attending. If you need to sell your ticket, we recommend using Ticketmaster's resale function, which you can find ->> here.
Accommodation for Wheelchair Users:
A limited number of tickets have been sold to wheelchair users and their companions. Only ticket holders with these tickets will have access to the two wheelchair ramps (A left side and B left side) at the concert area. These tickets, like the rest of the concert, are sold out, and it will not be possible to exchange tickets. Companions use the same entrance as wheelchair users.
Wheelchair drop-off at Nøstetorget upon arrival. Check which ramp you have a ticket for and arrive early. Our staff at the ramps are there to assist you. If space issues arise, companions must follow the guidance from Bergen Live staff at the wheelchair ramps.
