Online ticket sales
Tickets for the Noorderzon 2026 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!
