The use of the cloakroom is included in the ticket price of Foundation Berliner Philharmoniker concerts.

At the Philharmonie, there is no "dress code". Our audiences wear suits and evening wear as well as jeans and T-shirts. Most guests, however, consider a concert at the Philharmonie as a special event for which they dress accordingly.

We offer introductions to Foundation Berliner Philharmoniker concerts in the main hall and in the chamber music hall. This may be a lecture, a discussion with one or more artists or some other form of communication about what you are about to hear in the concert hall. They begin one hour before the concert, and last about 30 minutes.

Concessions can be requested at the box office for each concert.

Visitors with disabilities (grade B) receive a free ticket in the same price range for an accompanying person.

For security reasons, the number of visitors to the lunch concerts is limited to 1,600. Therefore, each visitor is given a chip at the entrance to the Philharmonie by a visitor services staff member. This chip is then handed back to enter the foyer where the concerts take place. It is not possible to reserve chips or to remove them from the Philharmonie for re-use. The bringing of folding chairs is not permitted for safety reasons. There are a limited number of seats available for visitors with disabilities.
