Tickets
Here you will find all information about buying tickets for the Noorderzon programme. Want to buy tickets straight away? Go to our programme page and select your preferred performances. Enjoy!
The Noorderplantsoen is freely accessible. There you will also find an extensive free programme to visit. You do need a ticket for most of our programme. We keep the entrance prices as low as possible. All prices are indicated in the programme.
Online ticket sales
Tickets for the Noorderzon 2024 programme can be purchased online via noorderzon.nl/programme. Tickets remain available online until right before a performance starts. So it is possible – when a performance isn’t sold out – to buy a ticket via your phone on the spot. Tickets are available via your computer, tablet or mobile phone. Payments can be made directly online via iDEAL (via your own bank) or by credit card (Visa and Mastercard). Service costs differ: €1 for each completed online transaction via iDEAL and €1.50 for payments by credit card.
E-tickets
Noorderzon uses an online ticketing system, which means the tickets are not sent to you by mail: after purchasing your e-tickets, you will directly receive them in the inbox of the e-mail address you used to order them. Still didn’t receive them after 24 hours? Then please check your spam box as well as whether your payment has gone through and the e-mail address you have given is right. Ticked all these off and still didn’t receive anything? Please contact us via tickets@noorderzon.nl.
In order to be admitted to a performance, it is required to produce an e-ticket (printed or on your phone). Please set the display of your phone as bright as possible, thus allowing us to scan your ticket more easily. Note: the e-ticket is mailed to you by PDF attachment – the mail itself is not a valid ticket!

Give an Encore
If you purchase a ticket via our website, we offer you the option of buying a ticket for those who don’t have the financial means to buy one themselves. Together with the Quiet Groningen Foundation, we shall make sure it will be used well and reaches someone who can really use your support.
European Festival Forest
Buy a ticket for a performance and plant trees for a better climate? It's possible! Together with European Festival Forest, we are planting as many trees as possible to combat climate change. The trees are planted in Iceland by the Icelandic Forest Service. A tree can already be planted for €2. You can make a donation in the Noorderzon ticket shop. 30% of this donation goes to the European Festival Forest.
