What are the advantages of purchasing early-bird tickets for concerts in Vienna?
I will travel to Vienna 15/4-20/4 and I am looking forward to attend a classic concert, not a trap for sure! I am looking into the State Opera House.
Is there any reason to buy tickets now and not when I am there (purchase the ticket on Monday for Tuesday)? What is the trade-off, assuming that the concert will not be sold-out.
Purchasing a ticket from now binds me, thus I wouldn't like to purchase one, if the price doesn't change! In other words, is there anything like early bird price for an authentic classical concert?
Best Answer
Since you will be travelling over Easter I would definitely buy tickets well in advance. Easter is a busy season for concerts and operas. The best performances will definitely get sold out. We have the 'Spring in Vienna' concert festival around this time, for example, which is always a big hit. If you get tickets last minute chances are that you will fall into the hands of Mozart wigged street vendors selling tourist concerts.
I have done a checklist with criteria for spotting a tourist trap for my blog readers which may be helpful.

Reply from the Opera:
Dear Mr. Samaras,
Thank you for contacting www.viennaconcerts.com
The prices are not going to get higher, the only risk is that the event you will want to attend will be sold out by the time you are in vienna. Thas also depends on the concert you want to see. For classical concerts that take place almost daily, there will be tickets available.For the State Opera, Volksopera and the concerts at Musikverien or Konzerthaus, we would suggest you to book a ticket earlier.
With best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen, ...
