The Berio room is carpeted. Children and adults can be seated together at the carpet. There are NO rows of chairs.

Piccolo & Concertino
Children can be seated directly in front of the stage on the parquet floor. For adults, rows of chairs are available in the back of the hall.

sound:chat
All concertgoers are seated in free rows of chairs. At the "Meet & Greet" in the Berio Hall buffet, benches, armchairs and bar tables are available.

Vorhören!
All concertgoers will be assigned a seat in the Great Hall.


Shoe rack
For the concerts in the "Mini hop" and "Allez hop" cycles, we ask all concertgoers to remove their shoes, as the hall is carpeted for seating. Shoe racks are available in the Berio Hall foyer. During the winter months, we recommend bringing slippers or thick socks.

Coat rack
Jackets, coats, larger bags, backpacks, helmets and umbrellas must be left at the checkroom. For the "Mini hop" and "Allez hop" cycles, either a small backpack or a bag can be taken into the hall.
At the cycle "Mini hop" the checkroom is free of charge. At all other children's and youth concerts (except »sound:chat« and »Vorhören!«) there is a reduced checkroom rate (€ 1,-).

Baby carriages
At our concerts in the "Mini hop" and "Allez hop" cycles, baby carriages can be parked in the large checkroom or directly in front of the Berio Hall in designated areas.

Changing tables
Changing tables are located in the ladies' and men's toilets in the large checkroom hall. There will also be an additional changing table set up in the Berio Hall foyer during our "Mini hop" concerts.

Food and drinks
We ask that you do not bring food or drink into the concert halls. Water bottles for children are allowed at our "Mini hop" and "Allez hop" concerts.

Ticket control
All concertgoers, regardless of age, must purchase their own ticket. If you are bringing a baby (< 1 year), please pick up a ticket (free of charge) at the Ticket & Service Center. For conceptual reasons, a separate accompanying person is recommended for each child at "Mini hop".
