Musiikkitalo has launched new ticket sales system
Musiikkitalo’s ticket sales system has been updated during spring 2024. As a result of this update, all our events have been removed from the national Ticketmaster Suomi platform. From now on, tickets to Musiikkitalo concerts and other events will be available through our own channels: at Musiikkitalo website, by telephone and at our physical box office.
Tickets to concerts by our resident ensembles, the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, as well as performances by Sibelius Academy students will also available through their own websites.
In June, all tickets that still remained on Ticketmaster were be transferred to the new Musiikkitalo ticketing system. After that, no tickets to Musiikkitalo events will be available on the Ticketmaster Suomi website or box offices.
For the duration of this transition process, and also before and after it takes place, tickets to all Musiikkitalo events will of course be available to purchase through our website and from our box office. So why not take a moment to bookmark our website at www.musiikkitalo.fi now!
Q & A
We have provided answers to some frequently asked questions here. Click on the question to read the answer.
Buying tickets
Information about any changes to our box office opening hours will be posted under the Services section of our website.
Absolutely! You can use E-passi and Smartum vouchers to pay online and our physical box office also accepts Edenred’s Virike vouchers.
When using vouchers to pay online, choose your preferred seats using the seat map and then select E-passi or Smartum as your payment method. Please note that to use vouchers for payment you can only have a single ticket in your shopping cart.
If you would like to purchase tickets for two adjacent seats but plan to pay for one of them using a cultural voucher, you can reserve the other ticket on another device while completing the payment for the first ticket. Alternatively, you can call our telephone box office service, and they will send you two separate links for making the payment. This means that you can pay for one of the tickets using your cultural voucher and the other using one of the other payment methods available online.
The processing fee is designed to help us cover administrative and sales costs.
The cost of seats will vary depending on the concert, as ticket prices are set by the event organiser.
To find out more about all the upcoming events at Musiikkitalo, go to our events calendar. You can then view the individual listings to find out when tickets will be released. If you cannot find a concert listed on our website it means that the tickets are not yet available to purchase.

Choosing your seats
Once you’ve selected a seat, the seat number will appear on the right hand side of your screen.
Stall seats are designated with letters A to T and balcony seats with letters A to L. Please check which seating area you have chosen before proceeding with payment. The information regarding the location of your seats will be displayed in your shopping cart.
Please be aware that the Concert Hall staircases are steep, and much of the seating is built on a sharp incline. Because of this, seating areas A, B, L, M, P and R are accessed via a long set of steps. The seating closest to the stage has the highest number of steps leading to it.
You can use a Concert Hall map to help you choose a seat.
Our balcony seats are located one level above the topmost stalls seating. As with the stalls, balcony seating is also available to the front, side and rear of the stage.
If you suffer from vertigo or have an aversion to heights, we recommend that you look for seating away from the balcony. Please always check which seating area you have chosen before proceeding with payment. The information regarding the location of your seats will be displayed in your shopping cart.
Complimentary personal assistant tickets will be available for the majority of our concerts. However, availability may vary depending on the concert organiser.
You can also book a companion ticket for a wheelchair seat by selecting the available seat next to it. We will make a chair available for your companion in the space next to the wheelchair.
If you’re entitled to be accompanied to the concert, but you’re not a wheelchair user, you can claim a companion ticket at our physical box office. Alternatively, you can book the companion ticket by calling our telephone box office service.
