Tickets to André Rieu – the violinist who conquered Europe's stages

André Rieu was born in Maastricht, the Netherlands, in 1949. Having been born into a musical family, he was exposed to music from his very first day of life. He began learning to play the violin as early as age five. His father, who was an orchestra conductor, encouraged him to enroll in Europe's leading conservatory in Liège, and he later moved to the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where he finished his studies with distinction.

His great love for the waltz began after he performed as conductor Franz Lehár's Gold and Silver Waltz. He recognized that the elegant dance style held potential for modern variations, and in certain ways, that's how his vision to take classical music to a new stage began, one combining the lively atmosphere of pop. In 1987, Rieu founded the Johann Strauss Orchestra, which started with just 12 musicians and now includes more than 50. Since then, they have performed on the world's most prestigious stages.

About the concert

Orchestra: Johann Strauss, founded 1987  ·  Show length: About two and a half to three hours  ·  Intermission: About 20 minutes, in the middle  ·  Seating: Seated halls - no standing

André Rieu is a Dutch violinist and conductor, born in Maastricht, who founded the Johann Strauss Orchestra in 1987 with only twelve musicians - and today it's one of the largest private orchestras in the world, with dozens of musicians, solo singers and a choir who travel with him. He conducts and plays a Stradivarius violin simultaneously. His show is not a classical concert in the usual sense: the program mixes Strauss waltzes with operetta, film music, folk songs and familiar hits, and the audience sings along and claps throughout the evening. The production itself is part of the attraction - a giant stage that travels in about 120 containers, spectacular costumes, big screens on both sides of the stage and effects like artificial snow. About seven hundred thousand people attend his concerts every year.

FAQ

How do you get tickets to André Rieu?

Tickets to André Rieu are sold through each venue's official ticketing system, usually about a year in advance. At the big venues, the sale closes early: his audience is especially loyal and returns year after year, so the concerts fill up even in cities where he performs several nights in a row. Anyone who didn't grab tickets in the first wave finds that stock has sold out, and what continues to circulate afterward comes from sources that are hard to verify. TikTik obtains tickets to André Rieu's concerts in the UK, in Budapest and in Lisbon, and also packages that include a flight and hotel alongside the ticket - to Budapest, to Vienna, to Berlin, to Manchester and to Liverpool.

Where does André Rieu perform in 2026 - the cities and dates?

André Rieu performs in autumn 2026 in Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, London, Budapest and Lisbon. The tour opens with a big UK leg: Glasgow on 10 September, Manchester on 11 September, Liverpool on 12 September, Nottingham on 16 September and London on 18 September. From there to Europe: Budapest on 16 October, and Lisbon over two nights - 29 and 30 October. In addition, we also offer flight and hotel packages to Vienna in November and to Berlin in January 2027. It's also worth knowing about his special concerts at Vrijthof Square in Maastricht, his hometown - a series of open-air summer concerts that start at nine in the evening and continue past midnight, and where the atmosphere is completely different from an indoor hall.

How long does the concert last, and is there an intermission?

André Rieu's concert lasts between two and a half and three and a quarter hours, with an intermission of about twenty minutes. The intermission comes about an hour after the start. The venues have not yet published the exact times for the 2026 dates - they usually do so about a month before - but from his previous concerts at those same venues, the picture is consistent: the concert starts at 7:30pm and ends between 10:30 and 11pm. Note a detail that surprises many people: doors open very early - between an hour and a half and two and a half hours before the concert begins - so total time at the venue can reach four and a half hours. Anyone who has trouble standing in line or waiting a long time should plan to arrive closer to the start time. At the open-air concerts in Maastricht, the evening is even longer and ends after midnight.

Where should you sit, and what about accessibility?

All of André Rieu's concerts are in seated halls with assigned seats - there is no standing area. That also means there's no need to arrive early to grab a good spot. There are two things you must check before buying, and the venues themselves warn about them in strong terms. The first is stairs: at the venue in London, some areas include up to forty-three steps with no handrail, and some have no elevator access at all; the venue in Liverpool also notes that the seats in the stands require climbing several flights of stairs. The second is wheelchairs or walkers: at some venues you're allowed to bring them right up to the seat, but you have to leave them in a designated area during the concert, and staff assist with this. All venues have a dedicated phone line for booking accessible seats, and the recommendation is to contact it in advance and not rely on a regular purchase. The big screens on both sides of the stage ensure that even from the farthest seats you can see the details.

How do you get to an André Rieu concert from Israel?

Of all the UK cities on André Rieu's tour, only London has a direct flight from Tel Aviv. Five of the eight concerts are in the UK, but Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham have no direct route from Israel - and neither does any other Scottish airport. The practical route is a direct flight to London, about five and a half hours, and from there by train: to Nottingham about an hour and a half from St Pancras station, and to Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow via a good rail network - Glasgow is the furthest and it's worth planning a full travel day for it. The four European cities have direct flights from Tel Aviv: Budapest about three and a half hours, Vienna about three hours forty-five minutes, Berlin about four and a quarter hours, and Lisbon about five hours forty-five minutes. In any case, when the concert ends at 10:30 or 11pm, it's worth staying overnight in the same city rather than relying on a late trip between cities.

Does an Israeli need a visa to fly to the concert?

Israelis don't need a visa for André Rieu's concerts - for the UK, an online authorization called an ETA is required. The authorization is required for Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham and London: it's not a visa, but it is mandatory and enforced at the border. Valid for two years or until the passport expires, it allows multiple entries, and you apply for it through the official website or the dedicated app. The response usually arrives within a day, but it's worth allowing up to three working days, and you must not fly before the authorization has been received by email. There is an official fraud warning: other sites charge more, and only the official channel is genuine. Budapest, Lisbon, Vienna and Berlin do not require a visa - Israelis enter the Schengen Area for a stay of up to ninety days. Note a rule that trips people up: the passport must be valid for at least three months after departure, and also have been issued within the last ten years.

What's special about an André Rieu concert?

André Rieu turns a classical concert into a spectacular show: Strauss waltzes alongside hits, a giant stage and a singing crowd. Three things set the evening apart from a regular classical concert. The first is the program: Strauss waltzes alongside operetta, film music, folk songs and familiar hits - including songs the audience sings along to. The current tour is noted as celebrating two hundred years since Johann Strauss's birth. The second is the production: a stage that travels in about 120 containers and is built as a replica of a palace, spectacular costumes that change throughout the evening, big screens and effects like artificial snow. And the third is Rieu himself - he talks to the audience between songs, tells jokes, and brings on guest soloists, singers and a choir. The atmosphere is light and family-friendly, not a quiet evening of classical music. It's worth knowing that professional reviews are divided on him - some critics have reservations - but his audience returns year after year, and at the open-air concerts in Maastricht, older members of the crowd have been documented getting up to dance in the aisles.

What do you need to enter the concert?

Entry to an André Rieu concert is with the ticket from the venue - at many venues it's digital, scanned from your phone. You receive the ticket from the venue's ticketing system, and it's worth loading it in advance rather than relying on reception at the entrance. Minors under fourteen must be accompanied by an adult, and that's a rule that repeats at most venues. Note three practical points: doors open very early and there's a long wait before the concert starts; the concert ends late, between 10:30 and 11pm, so it's worth confirming in advance how you'll get back; and at the open-air concerts in Maastricht, the show goes on even in the rain, and the audience receives a rain poncho. The bag policy and allowed items vary from venue to venue and are published on the venue's event page close to the date.
