For some concerts (e.g. film concerts), 'limited-view seats' are sold. Limited-view seats are seats that go on sale when all regular seats are (almost) sold out. As the name suggests, these are seats where the view of the screen is limited and where you cannot see the full screen. Therefore, these limited-view seats are also sold at a heavily discounted rate. The orchestra, however, is fully visible from these seats.

For some concerts, we operate a waiting list system. There is no charge for booking tickets on the waiting list. When seats become available, your tickets will be reserved and you will receive a payment request. Upon receipt of your payment, you will receive your tickets. 

A place on the waiting list does not guarantee a ticket. Vacant seats are always allocated on a first come, first served basis.
