The Bayreuth Festival administration has announced changes to the procedures for obtaining tickets. Individual members of Wagner societies must follow these procedures, and only on an individual basis. WSNY will inform our members fully and will assist in any possible way. Information and updates will be posted on this website as received. 
 
It is possible, as of August 30, to apply to the Festival Box Office for tickets via their website.
If you have not previously registered with the Festival box office, choose the option “My Festival,” at the top of the home page of www.bayreuther-festspiel.de. There you can register as a new customer. Then, you can apply to http://ticketshop.bayreuther-festspiele.de/en to get the application form and complete the form. Specify that you are a member of the Wagner Society of New York, which is a member society of the RWVI. Online application deadline: October 31. Or you can apply for tickets by post/paper, which must reach the Festival by October 16.
